恋は雨上がりのように [Koi wa Ameagari no You ni] #5

A young woman with dark hair and warm amber eyes takes center stage on this fifth volume of Jun Mayu's quietly affecting romance manga, clutching a book close as she gazes outward with an expression caught somewhere between longing and resolve. The soft, muted palette and delicate linework give the cover an almost wistful, atmospheric quality that perfectly suits the series' gentle emotional tone. Readers who have followed this story will find volume five arriving with the same understated elegance that has made Koi wa Ameagari no You ni such a distinctive presence in Shogakukan's lineup.
