ハニーレモンソーダ [Honey Lemon Soda] #3

Volume 3 of Mayu Murata's Honey Lemon Soda captures the buoyant spirit of high school romance right on its cover, where a cool, blonde-haired boy in a blue school uniform and a bright-eyed girl clutching a lollipop stand side by side amid swirling bubbles, lemon slices, and a cascade of sparkling light. The warm chemistry between the two figures feels almost tangible, perfectly matching the series' promise of a "sparkling love story." Published under Shueisha's Ribon Mascot Comics imprint, this volume is a lovely entry point into one of shoujo manga's most effervescent ongoing romances.
