千歳くんはラムネ瓶のなか [Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka] #3

Volume 3 of this charming Japanese slice-of-life manga finds a bright-eyed blonde girl at the center of the cover, clutching a small ramune bottle and a brown shoulder bag, while a dark-haired young man stands just behind her — their dynamic already hinting at the warmth and quiet tension the series is known for. The soft pastel palette and casual school-day attire give the whole image a breezy, summery feel that perfectly matches the ramune-bottle spirit of the title. Published by Square Enix, this volume is a lovely addition to the series for fans who enjoy grounded, character-driven high school stories.
