瞳ちゃんは人見知り [Hitomi-chan wa Hito Mishiri] #5

Volume 5 of Hitomi-chan wa Hito Mishiri arrives with a relaxed, cherry-blossom charm — the cover shows the tall, bashful Hitomi and her smaller companion sitting side by side at what appears to be a foot bath or shallow pool, petals drifting around them in a quietly intimate springtime moment. The contrast between Hitomi's flustered, averted gaze and her companion's wide-eyed expression captures the series' signature mix of gentle comedy and sweetness perfectly. Published by Akita Shoten under the Champion RED Comics imprint, this volume is a lovely addition to one of slice-of-life manga's more endearing ongoing series.
