A Sign of Affection #3

Volume 3 of *A Sign of Affection* by suu Morishita continues this gentle, heartfelt romance with a cover that says everything through feeling rather than words — a pink-haired young woman rests warmly against a silver-haired young man, the two framed by a soft cascade of colorful blooms in peach, purple, and gold. The warm amber tones and delicate floral border give the whole image an almost dreamlike tenderness, perfectly in tune with the series' quiet emotional depth. At $12.99 from Kodansha USA, this 2021 volume is a lovely addition to one of shojo manga's most genuinely touching ongoing stories.
