おねいも [Oneimo] #2

The cover of this second volume from Kōdansha's Morning KC line immediately charms with its warm, golden-field setting — a lively group of girls clustered around what appears to be a large pot or cooking vessel amid tall rice stalks, one swinging what looks like a golf club while others lounge, chat, and pile on top of each other with easy, chaotic energy. It's a cheerful, slice-of-life snapshot that captures the easygoing sisterly dynamic the title (roughly "Big Sis and Little Sis") promises. Artist 詩原ヒロ's cozy, expressive character work makes this volume feel like a genuine invitation into a warm, funny household.
