青野くんに触りたいから死にたい [Aono-kun ni Sawaritai kara Shinitai] #9

A delicate, unsettling beauty defines this cover, where two pale, ethereal figures — one in a flowing dark dress — are surrounded by scattered roses and golden petals in an ornate, dreamlike setting. An outstretched hand reaches toward them from the foreground, creating an immediate sense of longing and tension that perfectly captures the series' emotional core. Shiina Uumi's supernatural romance continues to blend tenderness and dread in equal measure, and this ninth volume promises more of the haunting atmosphere that makes the series so compelling.
