スミカスミレ [Sumika Sumire] #1

The cover of this first volume from Shueisha's Margaret Comics/Cocohana line sets an immediately romantic tone, pairing a sharp-featured young man with dark, tousled hair against a softer, warm-eyed young woman with light auburn waves — delicate violet flowers drifting between them. Creator Takanashi Mitsuba renders both characters with expressive, emotive linework that signals the heartfelt shojo storytelling within. A lovely entry point into what promises to be an emotionally rich romance.
