イケオジモンスターと絶対零度男子 [Ikeoji Monster to Zettai Reido Danshi] #3

Two strikingly different men take center stage on this Kōdansha volume — a confident, blue-haired young man in a sharp suit and a stylish older gentleman in a patterned jacket, their hands clasped together against a cheerful scatter of confetti and heart accents. The contrast between the warm, self-assured smile of the older figure and the cool, composed expression of the younger one captures the push-and-pull energy that the title — roughly "Handsome Older Monster and the Absolute Zero Boy" — promises so well. Volume 3 of this boys'-love series by Fumito delivers the kind of polished, emotionally charged cover art that makes it easy to see why this pairing has found its audience.
