あせとせっけん [Ase to Sekken] #3

A warmly rendered cover for volume 3 of Ase to Sekken ("Sweat and Soap"), published by Kōdansha under the Morning KC imprint. The scene captures two characters — a tall, broad-shouldered young man and a slightly flustered young woman — both dressed in casual yukata and sharing an easy, cheerful moment together, the woman toweling her face with a sunny yellow cloth. Yamada Kintetsu's linework radiates the slice-of-life charm and gentle humor that has made this series such an endearing read.
