君と夏のなか [Kimi to Natsu no Naka] #2

Bathed in the brilliant blue of a summer sky, this second volume of Kimi to Natsu no Naka ("The Blue Summer and You…") captures two young men paused on an elevated walkway, the cityscape and billowing clouds stretching behind them in a moment that feels both fleeting and full of unspoken feeling. The cover art by 古矢渚 radiates warmth — one figure in a bright orange shirt, the other in a loose white outfit, their glance toward each other quietly electric. A lovely continuation from Ichijinsha's 2022 release that promises the same sun-soaked emotional intimacy the series delivers so beautifully.
