スケッチー [Sketchy] #2

A quietly striking cover greets readers of Sketchy Volume 2, featuring a close, intimate watercolor portrait of a young person in a pale hoodie — rendered with the kind of understated, emotionally resonant linework that makes you want to linger. Published by Kōdansha, this manga carries a contemplative, almost sketchbook-like aesthetic that feels refreshingly personal. If the cover is any indication, this is a series that finds its power in careful observation rather than spectacle.
