10th - À couper le souffle #1

The soft, sun-dappled cover of this first volume sets a quietly compelling tone, with three school-uniformed teenagers — two boys and a girl — seated together in an easy, intimate arrangement that hints at friendship, tension, or something in between. Yūko Inari's delicate linework gives each face a distinct emotional quality, drawing you into their world before a single page is turned. Published by Kana under the Dargaud banner in 2021, this opening volume promises the kind of heartfelt, character-driven storytelling that shōjo manga does so beautifully.
