花に染む [Hana ni Somu] #4

A striking close-up of a intense young man dominates this fourth volume of Hana ni Somu, his gaze sharp and expression caught somewhere between determination and unease, with what appears to be a writing brush held near his face. Published under Shueisha's Queen's Comics Cocoana imprint, the warm terracotta tones and elegant title calligraphy give the cover a quietly refined atmosphere that suits the series' literary sensibility. Fans of thoughtful, emotionally layered shojo manga will find plenty to draw them into this installment.
