Shine #4

Volume 4 of Shine — created by Kotoba Inoya and published by Nobi Nobi in 2019 — presents itself as a fashion magazine come to life, with a striking young woman in a red lace dress reclining languidly across the cover, pink petals drifting around her silver-lavender hair and piercing green eyes. The cover teases a "Zoom" feature on modeling ("le rêve des uns, le cauchemar des autres") alongside a personal témoignage from Kokoro Hasegawa, who opens up about her doubts and fears. It's a clever blend of manga storytelling and glossy magazine aesthetic that makes this series genuinely stand out on any shelf.
