ハニーレモンソーダ [Honey Lemon Soda] #9

Volume 9 of Mayu Murata's sparkling shōjo romance continues with this sun-drenched cover featuring the series' two leads — a bright-haired boy in a warm cardigan and a dark-haired girl in her school uniform and cozy scarf — standing side by side amid drifting lemon slices and soda bubbles. The pastel palette and the gentle way they hold the space between them perfectly capture the tender, effervescent mood that has made this series such a delight. If you've been following their story, volume 9 promises more of the heartfelt sweetness that defines Honey Lemon Soda.
