狼には気をつけて [Ookami ni wa Kiwotsukete] #2

The soft pink cover of this second volume from Hakusensha sets a distinctly personal tone, centering on a casually dressed young man in a plaid shirt, cargo pants, and sneakers — rendered in the delicate linework that defines the shōjo aesthetic. Creator 遠藤淑子 (Endo Yoshiko) brings her characteristic warmth to the character design, giving this boy-next-door figure a relaxed confidence that hints at the story's blend of everyday life and romantic tension. A lovely volume for fans of character-driven shōjo manga with a light, inviting sensibility.
