Shirley #2

The second volume of Kaoru Mori's Shirley presents a charming cover portrait of a young maid in a crisp black-and-white uniform, complete with a generous bow at the collar and a frilled apron, standing confidently before a warm, book-lined study with a fireplace. Mori's delicate linework and eye for period detail shine through even here, capturing an atmosphere of quiet Edwardian domesticity. A lovely addition to this 2019 Ki-oon Kizuna edition for fans of elegant slice-of-life manga.
