À fleur de peau #12

Volume 12 of George Asakura's À fleur de peau, published by Éditions Delcourt in 2013, greets readers with a beautifully rendered close-up of the series' auburn-haired heroine, her expressive green eyes gazing outward against a soft flurry of cherry blossoms and petals. The delicate interplay of warm tones and cool floral whites gives the cover an almost breathless, emotional quality perfectly suited to this quietly captivating shojo series. A lovely addition to any shelf for fans who have been following along.
