ちはやふる [Chihaya Furu] #37

Volume 37 of Yuki Suetsugu's beloved Chihayafuru presents a quietly striking cover: a young man in a soft purple kimono gazes thoughtfully outward, surrounded by lush pink and violet peonies against a deep crimson background. The elegant floral framing and his composed, bespectacled expression carry a sense of refined tension that has made this competitive karuta series such a distinctive presence in manga. Published by Kodansha under their BE line, it's a beautiful addition to one of the most emotionally rich sports manga in recent memory.
