LDK #16

Volume 16 of Ayu Watanabe's beloved high school romance finds its two leads as close as ever — the cover shows a confident, casual boy leaning protectively over a wide-eyed girl, both in school uniforms, their proximity crackling with unspoken feeling. Watanabe's art captures that familiar push-and-pull tension that has kept readers hooked through this long-running series. If you've been following along, this 2021 Kodansha USA release is exactly the kind of installment that makes it impossible to wait for the next volume.
