ミントチョコレート [Mint Chocolate] #1

Two teenagers — a red-haired girl and a blue-haired boy — lean close in an almost-kiss on this charming shōjo cover, their school uniforms and the soft, breezy color palette perfectly capturing the nervous sweetness of young romance. Published by Hakusensha under the LaLa imprint, Mint Chocolate Vol. 1 opens what promises to be a heartfelt series where proximity and feelings are clearly already colliding. A lovely pick for fans of tender, emotionally charged shōjo manga.
