Stand By Me, Love Letter #[nn]

A young girl in a school uniform sits perched on a sun-warmed stone wall, a letter clutched in her hands and the open sea stretching behind her beneath a soft, cloud-dappled sky — it's a cover image full of quiet longing and gentle anticipation. Riho Masuda's art captures that tender, breathless moment of holding something unspoken, making this shōjo release from Éditions Akata feel immediately heartfelt. If you're drawn to stories where emotions run just beneath the surface, this 2019 volume invites you right in.
