どうしたら幼馴染の彼女になれますか!? [Dо̄shitara Osananajimi no Kanojo ni Naremasu ka!?] #1

Two schoolgirls in matching navy uniforms share the spotlight on this charming first volume cover — one with warm brown hair looking flustered, the other with bright teal hair and a cheerful expression, both radiating the sweet tension of a close relationship. Published by Takeshobo under their Bamboo Comics imprint, this opening volume of Syu Yasaka's manga sets the stage for what looks to be an endearing story of friendship and romantic longing between childhood friends. The pastel color palette and expressive character designs give the cover an immediately inviting warmth that fans of shoujo-flavored slice-of-life will find hard to resist.
