かくかくしかじか [Kakukaku Shikajika] #2

A young woman in a white coat and blue scarf gazes thoughtfully to one side, framed by lush branches of red camellia blossoms — a quietly beautiful cover that sets a reflective, intimate tone. Kakukaku Shikajika is Akiko Higashimura's autobiographical manga, and this second volume from Shueisha carries that same sense of personal warmth and honest emotion. It's the kind of series that draws you in gently and keeps you there.
