熱帯魚は雪に焦がれる [Nettaigyo wa Yuki ni Kogareru] #5

Volume 5 of A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow wraps its two leads in an underwater dreamscape, with a bright-eyed, dark-haired girl flashing a wide grin beside a cooler, blue-haired companion as tropical fish and coral drift around them. Makoto Hagino's art captures the warmth and gentle tension between these two perfectly, making the oceanic setting feel both literal and emotional. A lovely addition to this quietly charming series about contrasts — warmth and cold, openness and reserve.
