どうぶつの国 [Doubutsu no Kuni] [Animal Land] #10

A close-up portrait of a dark-haired girl with striking green eyes and rosy cheeks — wearing a cream-colored hat and a blue floral brooch — anchors this tenth volume of Makoto Raiku's Doubutsu no Kuni (Animal Land) from Kōdansha. The quiet intimacy of the cover art gives the series' emotional warmth a gentle, almost contemplative face. Fans of the manga will find this installment a compelling continuation of one of shonen's more thoughtful adventures.
