花にアラシ [Hana ni Arashi] #2

The second volume of Shigeyoshi Takagi's Hana ni Arashi showcases a charming, close-quarters moment between its two leads — a bright-eyed young woman in a floral top leaning warmly over a dark-haired, bespectacled young man in a blazer and red tie, both rendered in Takagi's appealing, expressive style. Published under Hakusensha's beloved 花とゆめCOMICS imprint, the cover's soft palette and intimate framing make a quiet promise of romantic tension. Fans of shojo romance will find this volume's presentation every bit as inviting as the first.
