Daytime Shooting Star #9

Mika Yamamori's shojo romance continues with this ninth volume, its pastel pink-and-teal cover perfectly capturing the series' tender, bittersweet mood. A girl with bright teal eyes and a star-shaped hair clip glances upward with a thoughtful expression while a blonde boy with striking red eyes — red headphones resting around his neck — reaches a hand gently toward her face. The quiet tension between the two figures says everything about the emotional pull that makes Daytime Shooting Star such a compelling read.
