月のお気に召すまま [Tsuki no Okini Mesumama] #6

A sweet shoujo moment captured in soft pinks and warm pastels — volume 6 of Ramune Kiuchi's Tsuki no Okini Mesumama presents a pink-haired young man in a casual white hoodie and black jacket standing beside a blue-haired girl in a yellow cardigan, the two of them side by side beneath a delicate crescent moon and scattered petals. The gentle tension between their almost-but-not-quite closeness says everything about the romantic push-and-pull at the heart of this Margaret Comics series. Fans of understated, emotionally rich shojo storytelling will find plenty to savor here.
