運命を信じない彼が言うには [Unmei wo Shinjinai Kare ga Iu ni wa] #2

A red thread of fate winds between two sharply dressed figures on this clean, elegant cover — a reserved young man in a white shirt and slacks and a confident, stylish woman in an orange top and green skirt, their expressions caught somewhere between tension and intrigue. Volume 2 of this Kadokawa romance manga picks up the push-and-pull dynamic between a skeptic and the force of destiny itself, rendered here with crisp character design by むむ・ザ・ライス. If the first volume left you hooked on their charged connection, this cover makes a quietly compelling case for what comes next.
