La Maison du Soleil #9

Volume 9 of Taamo's charming shojo series finds our two leads sharing a quiet, everyday moment — a young woman clutching fresh vegetables and a shopping bag mid-stride, while a tall young man beside her balances a stack of boxes, both rendered in the series' signature soft, sun-warmed palette. That gentle interplay of ordinary domesticity and budding feeling is precisely what has made La Maison du Soleil so endearing, and this 2018 Pika Édition volume carries that warmth right through to its cover. Fans of slow-burn, heartfelt romance will find themselves right at home here.
