抱きしめて ついでにキスも [Dakishimete, Tsuideni Kiss mo] #14

Two figures lean impossibly close together on this cover — a fair-haired young man and a soft-featured young woman nearly touching lips, their expressions tender and charged with quiet longing. Creator 美森青 (Mimori Ao) brings a delicate, pastel warmth to the art that perfectly suits this long-running shōjo romance series published by Shueisha under the Margaret Comics imprint. Volume 14 promises the kind of heartfelt, close-quarters emotion that fans of the series have come to treasure.
