高嶺と花 [Takane to Hana] #2

The second volume of Takane to Hana makes an immediate impression with its striking cover: a sharp-featured young man in a dark suit dominates the foreground, surrounded by lush red roses and drifting petals, while a shorter figure with lavender hair holds a clear umbrella in the background. Published by Hakusensha under the Hana to Yume imprint, this shojo series pairs gorgeous floral imagery with a compelling contrast between its two leads. Yuki Shiwasu's artwork brings a wonderful tension to the pairing, blending elegance and quiet humor in a single glance.
