花野井くんと恋の病 [Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai] #7

Two young people stand close together on this soft, petal-scattered cover — a tall young man in a pale blue shirt glancing down and a brown-haired young woman with a floral bag turning toward him — capturing the gentle, bittersweet tension that defines Mayumi Morino's romantic series. Volume 7 of Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai arrives with the same warm, pastel charm that has made this Dessert/Kōdansha title a standout in contemporary shojo romance. If you've been following this quietly affecting story, this volume's cover alone promises that the emotional stakes between these two are very much alive.
