Love Baka #1

A charming opener from Shushushu Sakurai, this first volume of Love Baka sets a playful, creative tone right from the cover — a boy and girl tumbling together amid a scatter of art supplies: pens, pencils, ink, and drafting tools that hint at a story rooted in the world of making comics. The two characters share an easy, spirited energy that's hard not to smile at, making this 2017 Kurokawa release feel like the start of something genuinely fun. If you're drawn to manga with a creative-life backdrop and lighthearted chemistry between its leads, this is an inviting place to start.
