ふつうの恋子ちゃん [Futsuu no Koiko-chan] #6

A dreamy, pastel-toned volume of Futsuu no Koiko-chan from Shueisha's Margaret Comics line, this sixth installment wraps its cover in a soft cascade of cherry blossoms surrounding a close-up of Koiko herself, rendered in delicate pinks and lilacs that perfectly capture the series' tender, romantic mood. Creator Nanaji Meme brings an unmistakably gentle touch to the composition, framing the heroine's expression with quiet longing amid the fluttering petals. If you've been following Koiko's heartfelt journey, volume six looks like a beautifully atmospheric continuation of this sweet shojo story.
