君と綴るうたかた [Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata] #4

Two young women are drawn close together on this intimate cover — one with dark hair gazing upward, the other with striking silver-white hair leaning in tenderly, their hands intertwined between them. Yuama's art conveys a quietly charged emotional moment, the cool, dark palette lending the scene both melancholy and warmth in equal measure. Volume 4 of this Ichijinsha series promises the kind of delicate, heartfelt storytelling that makes shoujo-ai manga so quietly compelling.
