ハコヅメ ～交番女子の逆襲～ [Hakozume: Koban Joshi no Gyakushuu] #3

Volume 3 of Hakozume: Koban Joshi no Gyakushuu ("Hako-zume: The Counterattack of the Police Box Girls") keeps the energy of this Kōdansha series rolling with a cover that brings its two central characters front and center — one with striking purple-streaked hair and wide expressive eyes, the other with a warm, slightly sheepish smile, a pair of handcuffs dangling from her wrist. It's a charming snapshot of the duo at the heart of this slice-of-life police comedy, perfectly capturing the mix of earnestness and lighthearted chaos that defines the series. Fans of workplace comedy manga will find this volume's cover alone an appealing invitation to follow these two officers through whatever the koban throws at them next.
