しっぽ街のコオ先生 [Shippo-gai no Koo-sensei] #13

A gentle, warm energy radiates from this thirteenth volume of Tarasawa Michi's slice-of-life series, with the cover spotlighting a bespectacled young man in a purple tee and white coat cradling a small orange tabby kitten close to his chest. The soft color palette and cozy neighborhood silhouettes in the background perfectly capture the series' heartfelt tone centered on the bond between people and their animal companions. If you've been following Koo-sensei's journey, volume 13 looks like a lovely continuation of everything that makes this series so quietly charming.
