彼氏彼女の事情 [Kareshi Kanojo no Jijō / Kare Kano] #1

A warm autumn palette sets the tone for this beloved shōjo series as two students in matching red uniforms stand side by side before an ornate iron gate — a boy with a quiet, composed expression and a lively girl clutching books and ribbons in her hair, their dynamic already feeling full of unspoken tension. Masami Tsuda's Kareshi Kanojo no Jijō opens its first volume with a cover that perfectly captures the push-and-pull energy between its two leads. Published by Hakusensha, this is an inviting entry point into one of shōjo manga's most charming explorations of the gap between the face you show the world and who you really are.
