がっこうぐらし! [Gakkō Gurashi!] #5

Four cheerful schoolgirls crowd together in a warm, chaotic group pose on the cover of this fifth volume of School-Live! (Gakkō Gurashi!), their bright expressions and casual school uniforms radiating a friendly, slice-of-life energy. The pastel-toned artwork — with ribbons and colorful accents framing the cast — gives the cover an inviting, almost playful feel that makes it a natural fit on any manga shelf. Published by Houbunsha, this volume continues the series that has earned a devoted following for its distinctive blend of school-club camaraderie and underlying tension.
