君と宇宙を歩くために [Kimi to Uchū o Aruku Tame ni] #1

Two teenage boys dominate this bright, energetic cover — one leaping mid-air with arms flung wide amid scattered books and papers, the other lounging in a chair with a relaxed, almost detached cool — immediately capturing a dynamic between two very different personalities. Published by Kōdansha under their Afternoon KC imprint, this first volume of Kimi to Uchū o Aruku Tame ni ("To Walk the Universe With You") sets up what feels like a story about an unlikely connection between opposites. The airy, school-setting composition and warm color palette make this an inviting start to what promises to be a heartfelt series.
