顔だけじゃ好きになりません [Kao Dake ja Suki ni Narimasen] #12

Volume 12 of Karin Anzai's shojo romance brings its two leads together in a cover that feels both intimate and charged — a tall, dark-haired young man leans close to a shorter girl with auburn hair and striking green eyes, the tension between them practically sparring with the sparkles around them. Published under Hakusensha's Hana to Yume Comics imprint, this special edition volume is a lovely showcase of Anzai's clean, expressive character designs. Fans who've followed this slow-burn series will find the cover alone full of the push-and-pull energy that keeps them turning pages.
