平野と鍵浦 [Hirano to Kagiura] #1

The opening volume of Hirano to Kagiura from Kadokawa introduces us to two young men whose dynamic immediately draws the eye — a relaxed, golden-haired figure in a blue cardigan sits in the foreground while a taller, dark-haired companion stands behind him with arms crossed, the whole scene bathed in warm, sunlit yellows and greens. Shou Harusono's delicate linework and soft palette give the cover a quietly hopeful mood that feels perfectly suited to a story of everyday connection. A gentle, inviting start to what promises to be a warmly drawn series.
