ママレード・ボーイ little [Marmalade Boy Little] #5

A cheerful young woman in a chef's hat and apron takes center stage on this fifth volume's cover, carefully peeling an apple while surrounded by a fresh abundance of vegetables and fruits — tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, chili peppers, lemon, and onion. Creator Yoshizumi Wataru brings the same warmth and everyday charm that fans of the series have come to love, rendered here in a cozy, inviting slice-of-life mood. If you're following this spin-off from 集英社's Margaret Comics line, this installment looks like a delightful continuation of the series' gentle, heartfelt spirit.
