春の嵐とモンスター [Haru no Arashi to Monster] #1

The opening volume of Spring Storm and Monster by Mitsubachi Miyuki arrives with immediate visual flair — a close-up of a sharp-eyed young man in a dark jacket, his tousled green hair and confident, slightly unsettling smile radiating the kind of charisma that hints at the "monster" of the title. Published under Hakusensha's Hana to Yume imprint, this shōjo series promises the blend of romantic tension and dramatic edge that the label does so well. If this cover is any indication, Mitsubachi Miyuki has a compelling lead on their hands.
