花野井くんと恋の病 [Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai] #9

The ninth volume of Mazami Morino's tender shojo series finds its two leads — a tall, quietly intense boy and a wide-eyed girl in her school uniform — standing face to face in a moment charged with soft emotion, petals drifting around them as she gazes up at him. The subtitle "I'm addicted to you" printed on the cover says everything about the series' signature blend of sweetness and longing. Fans following their slow-burn connection will find plenty to savor here.
