リビングの松永さん [Living-Room Matsunaga-san] #5

Two young people share a quietly charged moment on this volume 5 cover — a bespectacled young man in a dark jacket stands close behind a fair-haired young woman in a soft pink cardigan, both facing forward with an understated warmth that perfectly captures the cozy, low-key romance at the heart of Living-Room Matsunaga-san. The gentle pastel palette and subtle scatter of small triangles give the composition a sweet, contemporary shojo feel. If you've been following this Kōdansha Dessert series, volume 5 promises more of the same endearing domestic tension that makes it so easy to read in one sitting.
