僕は友達が少ない [Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai] #14

Volume 14 of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai ("I Have Few Friends") wraps up this long-running Kadokawa manga adaptation with a cover that's genuinely charming — a cheerful schoolgirl in a green cardigan and plaid skirt is surrounded by an endearing menagerie of animals, from a raccoon and a cat to what appear to be rabbits, a cheetah cub, and various small creatures tumbling around her in a cozy, lived-in room. Artist いたち brings a light, warm energy to the scene that perfectly captures the series' blend of social awkwardness and unexpected warmth.
