ガラスの仮面 [Glass no Kamen] #49

Two young women — one in a deep rose dress, the other in soft blue and white — stand back to back amid a shower of delicate pink blossoms on this beautifully rendered cover of Glass no Kamen (Glass Mask) Volume 49 from Hakusensha's Hana to Yume Comics line. The elegant composition and expressive character art are immediately recognizable as the work of series creator Miuchi Suzue, whose name appears prominently on the cover. Subtitled "Chapter 14: Meguriau Tamashii (3)" (Souls That Meet, Part 3), this installment promises another emotionally charged chapter in one of shōjo manga's most enduring theatrical dramas.
