LDK #13

Volume 13 of Ayu Watanabe's charming shojo series L♥DK turns up the romantic tension with a cover that says it all — two teens share a bubble-filled bath, rose petals floating around them and rubber ducks adding a playful touch, their faces drawn achingly close together. It's a scene that perfectly captures the bittersweet push-and-pull at the heart of this series about unexpected cohabitation and slowly blooming feelings. Published by Kodansha USA in 2019, this volume promises more of the warmth and longing that keeps readers eagerly turning pages.
