思い、思われ、ふり、ふられ [Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare] #1

Two young women — one with light, golden hair and one with warm auburn locks, both in school uniforms — share a quietly intimate moment on this delicate, snow-flake-accented cover, perfectly setting the mood for a story of layered romantic feelings. Published by Shueisha under the Margaret Comics imprint, this first volume of Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare by Io Sakisaka promises the kind of heartfelt, bittersweet shojo atmosphere that the title itself — roughly "loving, being loved, dumping, being dumped" — so beautifully telegraphs. Fans of tender, emotionally honest romance will find this opening volume an immediately appealing invitation into what looks to be a deeply felt series.
