Kusunoki's Flunking Her High School Glow-Up #2

The second volume of Mitsuki Mii's charming high school rom-com pulls readers right back in with a cover that says it all: a pink-haired girl in her school uniform looks wide-eyed and flustered while a dark-haired classmate leans in close with a knowing smile and a raised finger, the two of them practically sharing the same frame. That dynamic — one caught off guard, one clearly enjoying it — captures the playful tension that makes this series so easy to fall for. If you picked up volume one, this 2024 Kodansha USA release is an easy next step.
