Something's Wrong with Us #17

The seventeenth volume of Natsumi Ando's Something's Wrong with Us arrives dressed in full spring splendor, its subtitle "Sakura-Colored Verse" perfectly reflected in the cascade of blush cherry blossoms framing two beautifully rendered figures in traditional Japanese dress. The young woman, adorned with a delicate butterfly hair ornament, leans close to her companion in a moment charged with tenderness and unresolved feeling — exactly the kind of emotionally layered tableau this series does so well. At $12.99, this 2023 Kodansha USA release keeps the romantic tension blooming right alongside the sakura.
