しっぽ街のコオ先生 [Shippo-gai no Koo-sensei] #12

A cheerful, soft-toned cover sets the mood perfectly for this twelfth volume of Tarasawa Michi's slice-of-life manga about life in a neighborhood full of animals. A bespectacled young person in a pink striped shirt is warmly pictured with a happy golden retriever nuzzling up front and a sleek black-and-white cat perched on their shoulder — exactly the kind of cozy animal-filled world the series promises. Fans of gentle, heartwarming manga will find this installment from Shueisha an easy one to reach for.
