Complex Age #3

Yui Sakuma's Complex Age continues its charming look at the world of cosplay with this third volume, its cover bursting with the warm golden energy of a bright-eyed, blonde protagonist lugging a pink rolling suitcase — surrounded by scattered sewing patterns and what look like stray costume pieces. The excitement on her face suggests she's heading somewhere important, bag packed and ready, every detail radiating that particular mix of enthusiasm and determination that makes this series so endearing. A great pick for anyone who appreciates slice-of-life manga with real heart.
