安達としまむら [Adachi to Shimamura] #1

Two high school girls in dark uniforms stand side by side on what appears to be a rooftop or elevated walkway beneath a bright blue sky — one with silver-gray hair glancing quietly to the side, the other with dark hair and a pink bow tie looking ahead. This opening volume of Adachi to Shimamura sets a gentle, contemplative tone right from its cover, capturing the understated closeness between the two title characters. Fans of soft, character-driven manga will find this first volume from Kadokawa a genuinely inviting place to start.
