アオハライド [Ao Haru Ride] #13

Two figures lean close together in a quietly intimate moment on this cover of Ao Haru Ride Vol. 13 from Shueisha — a pink-haired girl and a dark-haired boy nearly forehead to forehead, rendered in the soft, luminous style that has made Io Sakisaka's shojo work so affecting. It's a cover that speaks volumes without a single word, capturing the tender, almost-but-not-quite closeness at the heart of this series.
