ふつつか者の兄ですが [Futsutsuka Mono no Ani Desu ga] #5

A charming moment takes center stage on this volume 5 cover, where a pink-haired young man reaches out toward a wide-eyed, surprised-looking girl in a school uniform — her expression caught somewhere between astonishment and endearing awkwardness. The warm, star-speckled background and soft pastel palette give the scene an immediately appealing, lighthearted energy that fits perfectly with the series' title about an imperfect elder brother. Fans of slice-of-life and sibling-relationship manga from Kōdansha will find this installment an inviting continuation of the story.
