バツコイ [Batsukoi] #5

Volume 5 of Batsukoi puts its elegant heroine front and center — a poised young woman in a soft pink dress and delicate tiara, her confident smile framed by two sharp-suited men on either side, one in glasses and one in a blue shirt, both vying for position. The cool blue background accented with scattered geometric marks gives the cover a polished, contemporary shojo energy that perfectly suits this romantic drama from creator Tsukiko. A stylish entry in the series that keeps the tension — and the fashion — looking sharp.
