いつか夢の中で [Itsuka Yume no Naka de] #1

A gorgeous Art Nouveau–inspired cover sets the mood for this Hakusensha release from Toshiko Endo, whose title Once Upon a Dream signals exactly the kind of romantic, otherworldly storytelling her work is known for. A golden-haired young woman in profile, adorned with delicate pearl and jeweled hair ornaments, gazes serenely against a swirling mandala of stylized blossoms and scrolling foliage — an image that feels both timeless and lushly decorative. Fans of shojo manga with a dreamy, fairy-tale sensibility will find this volume an inviting place to begin.
