ハッピーシュガーライフ [Happy Sugar Life] #2

The cover of this second volume of Happy Sugar Life sets an immediately striking tone, juxtaposing two very different girls — a dark-haired figure with starry, galaxy-like eyes rendered in deep blues and blacks, and a softer, pale figure rendered in cool aqua tones below her. The Japanese tagline translates to something like "Her love is sweet… and painful," which perfectly captures the unsettling duality radiating from this arresting image. Fans of psychological manga will find plenty to draw them into Tomiyaki Kagisora's series with this compelling second installment from Square Enix.
