虹色デイズ [Nijiiro Days] #12

A tender moment takes center stage on this volume of Minami Mizuno's Nijiiro Days (Rainbow Days), as a tall, casually dressed young man and a pink-haired girl in a school uniform share an intimate, almost shy exchange — colorful candies and macarons scattered playfully around them. The soft pastel palette and gentle body language capture the sweet, low-key romantic atmosphere that makes this shojo series so endearing. Published under Shueisha's Margaret Comics imprint, volume 12 is a lovely entry point into the story's warmhearted charm.
