Bienvenue au club #9

Volume 9 of Nikki Asada's *Bienvenue au Club* arrives with a cover that's as charming as the series itself — a young woman in a stunning, flower-adorned red kimono stands center stage, flanked by two casually dressed young men who seem equally curious and a little uncertain about what they've gotten themselves into. The traditional Japanese setting of the storefront behind them adds a lovely warmth to the scene, hinting at the mix of everyday youth culture and old-world atmosphere that makes this series so appealing. A delightful 2015 addition to this French-language manga from Éditions Akata.
