I"s #8

The eighth collected volume of Masakazu Katsura's beloved romantic series I"s presents a quietly striking cover: a young woman with a short bob stands in soft, natural light before a warmly lit wooden interior, her floral-embroidered jacket and turtleneck giving her an understated, thoughtful elegance. Katsura's painterly style lends the image a gentle, almost wistful atmosphere that perfectly suits the series' heartfelt emotional tone. Published by Shueisha under their Bunko imprint, this volume is a lovely addition to one of manga's most tender coming-of-age love stories.
