Those Not-So-Sweet Boys #6

Two sharply dressed young men share the cover of this sixth volume of Yoko Nogiri's shojo series — one dark-haired and composed, the other golden-haired and a little more relaxed — their close proximity radiating that irresistible push-and-pull tension the series does so well. Nogiri's clean, expressive linework gives both figures a polished, almost cinematic presence against the soft, light-washed background. If you've been following along, volume six promises more of the charged dynamics that make this series such a compelling read.
