お近づきになりたい宮膳さん [Ochikadzuki ni Naritai Miyazen-san] #4

Volume 4 of Akitaka's charming romantic manga finds its two leads exactly where readers want them — side by side against a bright, open sky, hands gently intertwined. The tall, dark-haired boy and the petite girl in her school uniform and red cardigan radiate a quiet, hopeful warmth that captures the series' understated sweetness perfectly. If you've been following their slow-burn closeness, this volume's cover alone makes a quiet, convincing case that things are moving in a very welcome direction.
