高嶺と花 [Takane to Hana] #9

Volume 9 of Takane to Hana brings together its central trio in a warm, star-dusted cover that says everything about the series' mix of elegance and heart. A petite young woman in a charming golden bonnet dress stands between two tall young men — one in a sharp formal suit and tie, the other in a casual sports jersey numbered 7 — their contrasting styles hinting at the very different worlds orbiting around her. Creator 師走ゆき (Yuki Shiwasu) continues delivering the shojo charm that makes this Hakusensha series such a delight.
