À fleur de peau #5

Volume 5 of George Asakura's À fleur de peau arrives from Éditions Delcourt wrapped in a warm golden palette, its cover centered on a young woman in a school uniform, her auburn hair flowing softly as she gazes out with large, expressive eyes. Asakura's delicate linework and luminous coloring give the image a tender, almost dreamlike quality that perfectly suits this intimate shōjo series. A lovely addition to the collection for fans of emotionally rich manga from 2010.
