ママレード・ボーイ [Marmalade Boy] #5

Volume 5 of Wataru Yoshizumi's beloved shojo series Marmalade Boy presents its two leads in a warmly intimate moment — a blonde young man in a denim jacket drapes his arm around a bright-eyed, cheerfully grinning girl in a red vest and plaid skirt, the two of them looking every bit the picture of youthful romance. The soft striped background and understated "Marmalade" script logo frame the pair with a gentle, sweet energy that captures exactly what makes this series so endearing. Published by Shueisha in their Bunko format, this pocket edition is a lovely way to experience Yoshizumi's charming storytelling.
