いとしのムーコ [Itoshi no Mūko] #10

The tenth volume of Takayuki Mizushina's beloved slice-of-life series captures everything warm and joyful about Lovely Muco! in a single cover image: an enthusiastic Shiba Inu filling nearly the entire frame, tongue out and eyes wide, leaning over her owner Komatsu-san as he drives — a perfect snapshot of the cheerful, dog-centered daily life the series celebrates. A colorful beach ball and a figure waving in the sunny background hint at a summer outing, radiating the easygoing, feel-good energy that has made Muco and Komatsu-san such an endearing duo. If you've been following their happy routines, Volume 10 looks like another delightful chapter in this charming series from Kodansha.
