Dans l'intimité de Marie #8

Two young people — a girl with dark hair carrying a bag and a boy in a white shirt — stand close together amid softly rendered foliage, their quiet proximity carrying the gentle emotional tension that defines Shūzō Oshimi's work. This eighth volume from Éditions Akata maintains the series' signature watercolor-like delicacy, with muted greens and warm whites giving the cover an almost dreamlike atmosphere. Readers who have followed Marie's story this far will find this installment a natural continuation of Oshimi's understated, deeply personal storytelling.
