金色のコルダ [Kin'iro no Koruda] #8

Three young musicians stand shoulder to shoulder on this La Corda d'Oro volume 8 cover — a red-haired girl, a shorter green-haired figure in the center, and a curly blonde — all dressed in casual black tops against a soft background accented with musical staff lines. The trio's body language suggests both camaraderie and a hint of tension, perfectly capturing the blend of friendship and rivalry that defines this beloved shoujo series. Published under Hakusensha's Hana to Yume Comics imprint, this volume continues creator 呉由姫's (Yuki Kure's) beautifully illustrated story of music and romance.
