ソアラと魔物の家 [Soara to Mamono no Ie] #2

The cover of this second volume from Hidenori Yamaji sets a wonderfully cozy-adventurous tone — a small, determined young hero in a horned helmet and red cape brandishes an oversized hammer while leaping through what appears to be a warmly lit, book-lined monster dwelling. Below, a handful of curious creature residents go about their business amid the stone architecture and shelves, hinting at a charming world where a human child and monstrous housemates share something like a home together.
