Les Temps retrouvés #2

The concluding volume of Les Temps retrouvés arrives wrapped in a cover of breathtaking delicacy — two figures, one upright and one inverted, seem to float among cascading cherry blossoms rendered in soft, dreamlike watercolor tones. Cocoro Hirai's artwork (from a scenario by Kei Fujii) gives the image a sense of quiet wonder, as petals drift between the two characters in a composition that feels simultaneously wistful and full of warmth. Published in 2020 by Ki-oon under their Latitudes imprint, this second and final volume promises a tender, beautifully illustrated resolution to the series.
