はなにあらし [Hana ni Arashi] #5

Volume 5 of Hana ni Arashi (Nanoka to Chidori) presents a warm, sunlit cover featuring two schoolgirls in sailor uniforms sharing a close, affectionate embrace amid a bloom of bright sunflowers — a quietly tender image that captures the heart of this yuri series from creator 古鉢るか (Furuhachi Ruka). The soft watercolor-style linework and gentle palette give the scene an unhurried, summery intimacy that the series has been praised for. Published by Shogakukan under their Shōnen Sunday Comics Special imprint, this fifth volume continues what readers have come to cherish about this sweetly grounded story of two girls and their relationship.
