Le monde de Zhou Zhou #6

Two girls — one bright-eyed and open-faced, the other sporting round glasses and a curious expression — stand side by side against a lush backdrop of oversized tropical leaves, backpacks at the ready as if a new adventure is just around the corner. Created by Golo Zhao and Bayue Chang'an, Le monde de Zhou Zhou has charmed readers with its warm slice-of-life storytelling, and this sixth volume from Casterman looks set to deliver more of that same gentle, heartfelt energy. A lovely pick for fans of friendship-driven stories with a distinctly contemporary feel.
