あの子の子ども [Anoko no Kodomo] #4

The fourth volume of Mamoru Aoi's Anoko no Kodomo arrives with a quietly affecting cover: a dark-haired boy in a school uniform gazes forward while a pink-haired girl floats beside him against a deep blue, star-dusted sky, the two figures seeming to drift together in a fragile, suspended moment. That sense of weightlessness perfectly suits this emotionally grounded series about young people navigating something much bigger than themselves. Fans following their story will find this installment a natural next step in Aoi's tender, carefully observed narrative.
