ブスに花束を。[Busu ni Hanataba o] #5

Volume 5 of Busu ni Hanataba o ("A Bouquet for the Plain Girl") captures the series' tender, bittersweet mood beautifully — the cover shows a bespectacled girl and a tall, fair-haired boy standing close together, surrounded by soft autumn leaves and scattered pink blossoms. The warm color palette and their slightly awkward proximity say everything about the delicate emotional push-and-pull at the heart of this shōjo romance from Kadokawa. If you've been following their story, this volume's cover alone promises that the feelings between these two are still very much in bloom.
