思い、思われ、ふり、ふられ [Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare] #12

Three high school students dominate this cheerful, pastel-toned cover — a silver-haired girl and a warm blonde girl share the foreground in their sailor uniforms, radiating the kind of bright, complicated feelings that define teenage romance, while a dark-haired boy peers out quietly from between them. Created by 咲坂伊緒 (Io Sakisaka), this twelfth volume of Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare promises more of the heartfelt emotional push-and-pull that has made this shōjo series so endearing. The soft, sparkling design of the cover perfectly captures the series' bittersweet balance of hope and hesitation.
