Takane & Hana #8

Volume 8 of Yuki Shiwasu's Takane & Hana presents a cover dripping with romantic tension — a sharply dressed dark-haired man feeds a piece of chocolate to a blushing pink-haired young woman in an elegant dress, all set against a whimsical backdrop of cascading chocolate and scattered sweets. The sweet indulgence of the imagery perfectly captures the push-and-pull charm that makes this series such an endearing read. At $9.99 from Viz, it's a delightful addition to one of 2019's most enjoyable shojo titles.
