Sign of Love #2

The second volume of Maki Usami's sweet shojo series arrives with a cover that says it all — two school-age teens, a blushing brown-haired girl and a confident blond boy, framed in soft circles against a cheerful teal backdrop dotted with hearts. That gentle visual tension between her uncertain expression and his easy smile sets a perfectly romantic tone for this slice of young-love storytelling. If you're following along with this charming 2009 Soleil Manga release, volume two looks like exactly the kind of read to curl up with.
