Le goût des fraises #1

A charming slice-of-life manga from Kurokawa, this opening volume introduces two characters — a tall young man in a casual hoodie and a shorter young woman in a school uniform — each carrying a flat of fresh strawberries, their contrasting heights and expressions hinting at an endearing dynamic between them. The soft, pastel-toned cover art by irono sets a warm, everyday mood that feels immediately inviting. If wholesome stories centered around food and human connection appeal to you, Le goût des fraises looks like a delightful 2024 addition to your reading list.
