太陽よりも眩しい星 [Taiyō Yori mo Mabushii Hoshi] #1

A radiant first volume from Kazune Kawahara, A Star Brighter Than the Sun opens with a cover that immediately sets its tone: a bright-eyed, blond young man in a sparkling blue athletic outfit, mid-stride and brimming with energy. The celestial motifs swirling across his jacket and the warm, sunlit color palette hint at a story where ambition and passion take center stage. Published by Shueisha under the Margaret Comics imprint, this is a promising start to what looks like an uplifting shōjo series.
