それでも歩は寄せてくる [Soredemo Ayumu Wa Yosetekuru] #6

Two high schoolers — a composed, dark-haired boy and a flustered girl in a sailor-style school uniform with a red ribbon — share a quietly charged moment on this volume's cover, their expressions hovering somewhere between rivalry and something warmer. Yamamoto Sōichirō's shōnen romance continues to find its charm in that delicate tension, and the scattered speech bubbles framing the pair hint at the low-key verbal sparring that defines the series. Volume 6 is a lovely entry point for anyone drawn to understated, character-driven storytelling with a touch of school-days sweetness.
