花のみぞ知る [Hana no Mizo Shiru] #2

A tender embrace takes center stage on this cover from Rihito Takarai's Hana no Mizo Shiru, as two young men are shown nestled close together, one resting his head near the other in a quietly intimate moment. Soft white magnolia blossoms frame the scene, their delicate petals lending the image a poetic, bittersweet atmosphere perfectly suited to the series' title — "Only the Flower Knows." Published under Taiyo Tosho's Craft Series imprint, this second volume promises the same elegant linework and emotional warmth that makes Takarai's art so immediately inviting.
