君に届け [Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You] #1

Two young students — a dark-haired boy and a wide-eyed girl, both in crisp white shirts — share the cover of this first volume in a quietly tender, pastel-framed composition that immediately conveys the gentle emotional world at the heart of Kimi ni Todoke. The subtitle はじめての気持ち ("First Feelings") perfectly sets the tone for a story steeped in the tentative, hopeful stirrings of adolescence. Published by Shueisha under their みらい文庫 imprint, with original art and story by Shiina Karuho and prose adaptation by Shirai Kanako, this is a lovely entry point into one of shoujo manga's most warmly regarded romances.
