まどぎわの青い春 [Madogiwa no Aoi Haru] #1

The soft bloom of cherry blossoms frames this tender opening volume of Madogiwa no Aoi Haru, where a wide-eyed girl in a school uniform gazes up toward a taller, golden-haired boy — their closeness carrying all the quiet tension of youth on the cusp of something new. Publisher Shufu-to-Seikatsusha's delicate pastel palette and the classroom window setting evoke that bittersweet season when everything feels both fleeting and full of possibility. A lovely start to what promises to be a heartfelt school romance manga.
