きょうは会社休みます。 [Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu.] #3

Two young men share the softly lit cover of this third volume — one gazing forward with quiet intensity, the other glancing aside with a gentle, almost wistful expression, both dressed in casual blues that give the composition a warm, understated elegance. Mari Fujimura's shoujo romance continues to charm with this slice-of-life series about taking a day off from the ordinary, and volume three promises more of the tender, understated drama the series does so well. A lovely addition to any collection of contemporary Japanese romance manga.
