聲の形 [Koe no Katachi] #5

Volume 5 of Yoshitoki Oima's A Silent Voice opens with a quietly striking cover: a teenage boy and girl stand side by side along a festival street glowing with paper lanterns, the boy mid-wave while the girl, dressed in a soft blue-green yukata, looks on with a gentle expression. The warm, amber-lit atmosphere of the summer festival backdrop gives the scene an almost bittersweet tenderness that perfectly captures the series' emotional tone. Published under Kōdansha's Shōnen Magazine Comics imprint, this volume continues one of the most heartfelt manga series of its era.
