しっぽ街のコオ先生 [Shippo-gai no Koo-sensei] #9

A young man in a cozy red sweater shares an easy, affectionate moment with a Dalmatian puppy on this warm, softly colored cover — exactly the kind of gentle energy that defines this slice-of-life series from creator Tarasawa Michi. Shippomachi-no-"Ko" Sensei Volume 9 continues the series' inviting blend of everyday life and animal companionship, and this cover captures that spirit perfectly. If you've been following along, this ninth installment looks every bit as charming as what came before.
