Sensei's Pious Lie #2

The second volume of Akane Torikai's Sensei's Pious Lie arrives with a quietly striking cover: a close-up portrait of a young woman in an open white shirt, her dark hair framing a contemplative, slightly guarded expression, while a small green cat peers out from behind her with cool curiosity. Fragments of a sketched building and scattered green geometric shapes give the composition a thoughtful, layered feel that mirrors the series' emotionally complex tone. Published by Kodansha USA in 2022, this volume promises more of Torikai's distinctively intimate storytelling.
