くまクマ熊ベアー [Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear] #12

Volume 12 of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear serves up an utterly charming cover scene: a long-haired blonde girl and a dark-haired girl in a bear-eared hood share a delightful afternoon tea, surrounded by tiered cake stands, a full tea service, and a sweet little blue bird perched nearby. The cozy, rose-framed setting perfectly captures the warm, slice-of-life spirit that has made this series such a pleasure, and this 2024 entry from Shufu-to-Seikatsusha looks every bit as inviting as the volumes before it.
