Missions of Love #18

Volume 18 of Ema Toyama's Missions of Love arrives with a cover that captures the series' signature blend of romance and tension — a red-haired girl seated in a chair with a auburn-haired boy leaning close behind her, both rendered in Toyama's delicate style against a cascade of blue roses. The tagline says it all: a secret cell phone novelist versus the most popular boy in school, locked in a mission of love for absolute servitude. Fans of shojo drama will find plenty to savor in this 2019 Kodansha USA release.
