Hanada Le Garnement #5

Volume 5 of Makoto Isshiki's charming slice-of-life manga finds the irrepressible Hanada in full winter spirits — the cover shows the gap-toothed, rosy-cheeked boy beaming an enormous grin against a soft snowfall, clutching a tiny wide-eyed puppy bundled close for warmth. It's a wonderfully cozy image that captures everything endearing about this series: big emotions, small creatures, and the boundless energy of childhood. Ki-oon's 2018 French edition is a lovely entry point into Hanada's world for readers of all ages.
