The Fox & Little Tanuki #3

The third volume of Mi Tagawa's charming series arrives from Tokyopop, its soft watercolor cover beautifully capturing two fox-like figures — one larger and darker, one smaller and pale — sharing a tender, close moment adorned with a string of red beads. The delicate, muted palette gives the artwork an almost dreamlike warmth that perfectly suits this story of companionship between mystical creatures. At $12.99, it's an easy invitation to settle into one of 2021's most quietly enchanting manga series.
