クジラの子らは砂上に歌う [Kujira no Kora wa Sajō ni Utau] #23

Two young figures — one with warm golden-toned hair and another with striking seafoam-green hair and vivid red eyes — share a quiet, tender moment on the cover of this twenty-third volume, cradling what appears to be a delicate miniature cityscape in their hands. Creator 梅田阿比 (Umeda Abi) brings a characteristically soft, luminous art style to the Bōnita imprint, giving the image a bittersweet, contemplative mood that feels fitting for a long-running series deep into its story. Fans following Children of the Whales will find this late chapter in the saga beautifully presented.
