Rainbow Days #9

Volume 9 of Minami Mizuno's Rainbow Days arrives from Viz with a cover that captures the series' sweet romantic energy perfectly — a dark-haired boy and an orange-haired girl in school uniforms leaning close together, surrounded by colorful notebooks and a phone, radiating that cozy, will-they-won't-they tension the series does so well. Mizuno's clean, expressive art style makes every glance and almost-touch feel charged with possibility. If you've been following this high school romance, 2024 is a great time to catch up with this charming volume.
