きみは謎解きのマシェリ [Kimi wa Nazotoki no Ma Cherie] #4

Volume 4 of Tu es ma détective chérie arrives with a cover brimming with period charm — a young man in a striking purple uniform astride a bicycle hands off what appears to be correspondence, while a sharp-eyed young woman in a wide-brimmed hat clutches her own bundle of letters and documents, the two caught in a lively, conspiratorial exchange. Creator 糸なつみ (Ito Natsumi) renders their dynamic with warmth and elegant detail, set against a backdrop of European-style architecture that perfectly suits the series' mystery-tinged atmosphere. If puzzle-solving partnerships and vintage aesthetics are your thing, this volume looks like a thoroughly delightful addition to the run.
