アオのハコ [Ao no Hako] #7

Three teenage athletes crowd the foreground of this volume's cover — a dark-haired boy front and center, flanked by two taller companions — all gathered around a badminton shuttlecock that sits at the heart of the composition, with a basketball and scattered sports gear filling out the scene. In the background, two more figures add a sense of the wider ensemble that drives Ao no Hako's story of youth, sport, and connection. Published by Shueisha under the Jump Comics imprint, this seventh volume carries the subtitle 私は知ってる ("I Know"), hinting at the emotional stakes simmering beneath the series' warm, energetic surface.
