繭、纏う [Mayu, Matou] #2

Two figures draw breathlessly close on this cover — a lighter-haired young woman and a darker-haired companion whose flowing locks seem to entwine them both, visually echoing the title's imagery of a cocoon wrapping around its charge. Harahyakuaiko's delicate, intimate linework gives the scene a quietly charged atmosphere that feels both tender and a little melancholy. Volume 2 of Mayu, Matou promises to deepen whatever fragile, entangled bond these two share.
