Mii-chan Wants to Be Kept #1
In "I'll Let You Keep Me," Waka Takase and David Musto introduce a quietly intense story of connection and consequence, with Takase handling writing, art, inks, and lettering across a strikingly personal narrative. When Mio returns after disappearing, battered and changed, her secret—bound by a mysterious rule that demands she bond with a human by eighteen or become a cat forever—threatens to unravel the fragile trust between her and Iori. The issue’s emotional weight is matched by Takase’s expressive, intimate visuals, with the cover by Takase capturing the moment’s quiet tension.
