あの子の子ども [Anoko no Kodomo] #9

A tender moment takes center stage on this 2024 volume from Kōdansha, as a young couple is shown cradling a newborn baby — the intimacy and quiet wonder of new parenthood rendered in soft, delicate linework. Arai Maho's ongoing series continues to explore the emotional depth of young love and its consequences with a gentleness that feels both honest and deeply human. For readers following this story, volume nine promises to carry that same heartfelt sensitivity forward.
