ブスに花束を。[Busu ni Hanataba o] #9

Volume 9 of Busu ni Hanataba o (April Shower Bring Forth May Flowers) from Kadokawa Comics A features a tender cover pairing a tall, fair-haired boy in a school uniform with a shorter, dark-haired girl in a sailor-style uniform, both surrounded by lush hydrangea blooms and soft floral details. The contrast between the two characters — his confident ease, her wide-eyed surprise — gives the image a sweetly charged dynamic that captures the series' heart perfectly. A lovely entry in this shojo-flavored romance manga by 作楽ロク (Sakura Roku).
