エリアの騎士 [The Knight in the Area] #17

Volume 17 of The Knight in the Area captures a casual, off-the-pitch moment as a group of soccer players in striped jerseys mill about near a train, with a cheerful young woman at the center of the scene flashing a bright smile. The relaxed, slice-of-life energy of the cover gives the sports drama a warm, grounded feel — these are teammates sharing everyday life, not just the pitch. Manga fans who love a blend of athletic passion and character-driven storytelling will find plenty to enjoy here from writer Iga Hiromi and artist Tsukiyama Kaya.
