If I Could Reach You #4

Volume 4 of tMnR's If I Could Reach You opens with a quietly striking cover: a dark-haired schoolgirl in her navy uniform sits relaxed outdoors beneath a bright blue sky, one hand raised behind her head in a gesture that feels both casual and contemplative. The soft, airy artwork captures that particular bittersweet mood the series does so well — longing held just beneath the surface of an ordinary afternoon. At $12.99, this 2020 Kodansha USA release is a lovely continuation of one of manga's more emotionally honest slice-of-life romances.
