千歳くんはラムネ瓶のなか [Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka] #5

Three high school girls in crisp uniforms share the spotlight on this cheerful 2022 volume from Square Enix — one in a soft cardigan, two in plaid skirts, their expressions a mix of warmth and quiet tension that hints at the layered friendships at the heart of this series. The pastel palette and breezy composition capture exactly the kind of bittersweet youth energy that Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka does so well. A lovely addition to the run for fans following these characters.
