いやはや熱海くん [Iyahaya, Atami-kun] #3

Volume 3 of Iyahaya, Atami-kun finds its titular character in a quiet, contemplative moment — slumped over a school desk in what feels like a perfectly captured slice of everyday student life. Creator 田沼朝 (Tanuma Asa) renders Atami-kun's resting pose with a gentle intimacy that draws you right into the classroom atmosphere. If you've been following this series from Kadokawa's Harta Comix line, this volume promises more of the understated, emotionally resonant storytelling the series does so well.
