ふつつか者の兄ですが [Futsutsuka Mono no Ani Desu ga] #1

A warmly rendered opener from Kōdansha's Morning KC line, this first volume of Futsutsuka Mono no Ani Desu ga sets an immediately engaging emotional tone. The cover centers on a young blonde woman seated on a checkered floor, her large expressive eyes carrying a mix of worry and longing, while a pink-clad young man stands apart in the background with his back turned — a quiet visual shorthand for distance and complicated feelings. It's the kind of character-driven shojo-adjacent setup that draws you in before you've read a single page.
