なまいきざかり [Namaiki Zakari] #20

Volume 20 of Namaiki Zakari arrives with all the romantic tension the series is known for, its cover featuring a close, intimate composition of a young man with tousled hair holding a lollipop near his lips, rendered in the soft, expressive style of Miyuki Mitsubachi. Published by Hakusensha under the Hana to Yume imprint, this shoujo series has built a devoted following with its sharp-edged charm and heartfelt emotion. The pastel star-studded background and that knowing gaze make this a cover that perfectly captures the series' signature mix of sweetness and attitude.
