であいもん [Deaimon] #1

A gentle, slice-of-life warmth radiates from this opening volume of Deaimon, published by Kadokawa, as the cover presents a cheerful young woman in a pink kimono and green apron carrying a tray of traditional Japanese sweets and tea, with a calm young man in chef's whites visible in the background behind the wagashi display case. The soft, pastel illustration style immediately signals a story centered on the quiet rhythms of a Japanese confectionery shop and the people who tend it. Fans of heartfelt, food-focused manga will find this first volume an inviting introduction to what looks like a story full of warmth and craftsmanship.
