透明なゆりかご [Tomeina Yuri Kago] [Transparent Cradle] #6

The cover of this sixth volume of Transparent Cradle captures an intimate, quietly moving moment: two adult figures gently cradle a newborn between them, their soft, rounded expressions radiating tenderness and care. Creator 沖田×華 (Okita Baka) brings a warmly restrained illustrative style to this obstetrics-and-gynecology nursing diary series, and the pastel palette here feels perfectly in tune with the story's emotional world. A series that finds both beauty and gravity in the beginnings of life, this volume looks as gentle and thoughtful as the work has always promised to be.
