安達としまむら [Adachi to Shimamura] #5

A close, rain-dappled portrait of Adachi fills this fifth volume's cover — her striking blue eyes and the droplets clinging to her dark hair conveying an emotional intensity that feels quietly electric. Adachi to Shimamura continues to be one of manga's most tender explorations of an unfolding connection between two young women, and this volume's cover art promises that the series hasn't lost any of its delicate, heartfelt atmosphere. If you've been following Adachi's journey, volume five looks like exactly the moment to stay close.
