虹色デイズ [Nijiiro Days] #5

Volume 5 of Mizuno Minami's Nijiiro Days (Rainbow Days) captures the tender push-and-pull of high school romance right on its cover, where a pink-haired boy in a school uniform reaches out to clasp hands with a dark-haired girl in her own uniform, their expressions caught somewhere between uncertainty and longing. Published by Shueisha under the Margaret Comics imprint, this shōjo series has a light, heartfelt energy that comes through in every line of Mizuno's character art. If you're following the romantic entanglements of this charming cast, volume 5 promises more of the warmth and emotional nuance the series does so well.
