A sign of affection #5

Suu Morishita's tender romance continues in this fifth volume, its cover framing a quiet, sun-warmed moment between a white-haired young man in a golden paisley shirt and a auburn-haired young woman resting at his side, their hands gently touching within a wreath of vivid watercolor blooms — red poppies, blue flowers, and soft lavender petals. The soft green palette and delicate floral arrangement give the whole image an unhurried, dreamy intimacy that perfectly suits the series' gentle emotional register. If you've been following this story, volume five promises more of the heartfelt connection that makes *A Sign of Affection* so easy to fall for.
