彼と恋なんて [Kare to Koi Nante] #5

Volume 5 of Kare to Koi Nante arrives with a quietly compelling cover portrait of a young man in a white hoodie, his expression thoughtful and a little guarded against a soft blush-pink background — the kind of restrained emotion that defines the best shōjo romance. Published by Shueisha under the Margaret Comics Cocohana imprint, this series by Ao Mimori has a gift for capturing those delicate, unspoken feelings between people. If you've been following along, this volume promises more of the tender, understated storytelling that makes the series so easy to fall into.
