ちはやふる [Chihaya Furu] #5

Volume 5 of Yuki Suetsugu's beloved Chihayafuru presents a quietly striking cover: a close-up of Chihaya's face framed by lush clusters of blue hydrangeas, her expression warm and subtly determined. The soft floral palette lends the image a seasonal, almost poetic quality that perfectly suits a series steeped in the beauty of competitive karuta. It's a lovely entry in Kodansha's BL line for one of manga's most heartfelt sports stories.
