ハツ*ハル [Hatsu*Haru] #9

Volume 9 of Fujisawa Shio's Hatsu\Haru* arrives in soft, blossom-scattered watercolor tones, its cover showing a tender, close moment between two young figures — a girl in a floral kimono leaning in toward a boy in blue, their expressions carrying the sweet tension that defines this shojo romance. Published under Shogakukan's Flower Comics imprint, the series continues to earn its devoted readership with artwork that feels as delicate and emotionally charged as a first breath of spring.
