君としらない夏になる [Kimi to Shiranai Natsu ni Naru] #1

Two young women share a relaxed, sunlit moment on what appears to be a porch or veranda, one with orange hair and one with dark hair, their easy closeness hinting at a story of friendship and new beginnings. The title — roughly "The Summer I Don't Know With You" — and the tagline "Throw away the rain together" set a quietly wistful yet hopeful tone for this slice-of-life manga from Ichijinsha. Volume 1 promises the kind of warm, character-driven story that draws you in with its gentle atmosphere and the promise of two college women trading city life for something altogether unfamiliar.
