光が死んだ夏 [Hikaru ga Shinda Matsu] #3

Volume 3 of Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu arrives from Kadokawa wrapped in a striking all-yellow cover that feels simultaneously sun-drenched and quietly unsettling. A short-haired young figure in a yellow top, orange skirt, and green sailor-collar ribbon gazes out with an expression that hovers between warmth and something harder to name. The monochromatic golden palette gives the whole image an eerie luminosity that suits this atmospheric series perfectly.
