ミントチョコレート [Mint Chocolate] #10

The tenth volume of Mami Orikasa's Mint Chocolate arrives with a cover that quietly captures the series' tender heart — a young woman and a gray-haired young man sitting back-to-back in casual white tees, their relaxed closeness speaking volumes about the warmth between them. Published by Hakusensha under the LaLa Comics Special imprint in 2022, this shoujo romance continues to charm with Orikasa's soft, expressive linework and an unmistakable sense of bittersweet connection. A lovely addition to one of the more understated romantic series of its era.
