であいもん [Deaimon] #15

A quietly beautiful cover greets readers of this fifteenth volume in Rin Asano's Deaimon series from Kadokawa — a young woman in a soft pink kimono sits serenely on tatami, gazing toward an open shoji screen where a luminous full moon hangs over a deep blue night sky, while an elegant white wagashi sweet rests on a lacquered tray beside her. The mood is contemplative and warm, perfectly capturing the series' gentle celebration of traditional Japanese confectionery and the connections it fosters. If you've been following this slice-of-life gem, volume fifteen looks to offer more of the heartfelt, unhurried storytelling the series does so well.
