Coeur de Hérisson #5

Volume 5 of Nao Hinachi's charming shōjo series brings another flush-cheeked moment to the cover, where a flustered girl clutches a tiny hedgehog while a warm-toned boy wraps an arm around her from behind — both expressions caught somewhere between embarrassment and something sweeter. The soft teal-and-peach palette perfectly captures the gentle, heart-fluttery tone that makes Coeur de Hérisson such a delight. Published by Kazé in 2017, this fifth volume is a lovely continuation of a series that wears its romantic sincerity right on its sleeve.
