In the Clear Moonlit Dusk

Yamada, a cool and popular high school boy, and Mitsuru, a sharp-tongued girl who keeps others at a distance, find their carefully maintained social walls crumbling after a chance encounter. This ongoing shojo romance series from Kodansha USA, written and illustrated by Mika Yamamori, explores the slow, awkward, and tender process of two guarded people learning to trust and open up to each other. With only nine issues released since 2022, it has already earned a devoted readership for its nuanced character work and emotionally resonant art.
