ジョゼと虎と魚たち(上) [Joze to Tora to Sakanatachi] #1

The cover of this Kadokawa manga adaptation sets a quietly dreamy tone — a young woman with warm auburn hair drifts amid softly rendered tropical fish, her expression tender and a little faraway, as though lost in her own gentle world. The delicate palette of pale whites and soft blues gives the whole image a sense of something hovering between the everyday and the wistful. It's a lovely entry point into the Joze to Tora to Sakanatachi story, with art by 田辺聖央 (Nao Tanabe) that feels as light and unhurried as the title's aquatic imagery suggests.
