ハコヅメ ～交番女子の逆襲～ [Hakozume: Koban Joshi no Gyakushuu] #14

Volume 14 of Yasumiko's beloved police-comedy manga arrives with a quietly tender cover: a tall, composed young woman in a light grey top holds a smaller, wide-eyed companion close in what feels like a protective embrace — a moment of warmth between the two leads that hints at the bond at the heart of this series. Published under Kōdansha's Morning KC imprint, Hakozume: Koban Joshi no Gyakushuu continues its charming look at life inside a small police box through the eyes of its two female officers. If you've been following their everyday adventures, this volume's cover alone promises more of the earnest camaraderie that makes the series so endearing.
