12 ans #13

Volume 13 of Nao Maita's tender shōjo series 12 ans arrives with a cover that perfectly captures the series' gentle emotional warmth — a wide-eyed girl with auburn hair leans softly against someone in a vivid red jacket, petals and leaves drifting around them in the air. Published by Glénat in 2018, this French-language edition continues to follow the delicate, heartfelt story of young adolescent feelings with Maita's characteristically expressive, luminous artwork. Fans of sweet, emotionally honest romance will find this volume every bit as charming as the rest of the series.
