Tokyo Tarareba Girls #5

Three young women huddle together warmly against a swirling blue-and-white hypnotic background, with Tokyo Tower rising behind them — one in yellow, one in pink, one in green with braided hair and glasses, all adorned with flowers. This fifth volume of Akiko Higashimura's series about modern Tokyo life radiates the same wit and heart that has made the series a standout. If you've been following these women's journeys, volume five promises more of the sharp, emotionally resonant storytelling fans have come to love.
