夫婦以上、恋人未満。[Fūfu Ijō, Koibito Miman] #5

A young woman with long pink hair dominates this fifth volume's cover, casually stylish in a blue off-shoulder top and navy skirt, tote bag slung over her shoulder and fresh vegetables tucked under her arm — the picture of comfortable, everyday closeness. The title Fūfu Ijō, Koibito Miman ("More Than Married, Less Than Lovers") sets up the series' central romantic tension beautifully, and this domestic, warmly lit image captures that in-between feeling with real charm. Yuki Kanamaru's series continues to deliver on its premise with an inviting cover that makes volume five easy to reach for.
