Pray for love #1

The opening volume of Keiko Sakano's Pray for Love arrives from Soleil Manga with a cover that sets a tender, slightly mysterious tone — a tall, dark-haired young man in flowing robes cradles a wide-eyed pink-haired girl, the delicate pastel palette giving the whole scene a dreamlike warmth. There's a quiet intensity to the pair's closeness that hints at a romance with just enough intrigue to keep you turning pages. A lovely start to what looks like a heartfelt shojo series.
