花ざかりの君たちへ [Hanazakari no Kimitachi e] #8

Three figures share this cheerful cover of the beloved shōjo series Hana-Kimi: a dark-haired young man holding a fox mask aloft, a smiling girl in a pink floral kimono clutching a candy apple, and a golden-haired young man in a green kimono — the trio framed by soft cherry blossoms and a bright sunflower. Volume 8 of the愛蔵版 (deluxe collector's edition) packages Hisaya Nakajo's warmhearted story in a particularly lovely presentation, with the kimono-clad artwork giving the whole cover a festive, summer-festival charm. A genuinely inviting addition to any shelf dedicated to classic Hakusensha shōjo manga.
