金色ジャパネスク~横濱華恋譚~ [Kiniro Japanesque] #1

The opening volume of Kaho Miyasaka's Kiniro Japanesque arrives dressed to impress, and this cover sets the mood beautifully — a golden-haired young woman in an elaborately lace-trimmed black ensemble gazes out with striking blue eyes, surrounded by sweeping magnolia blossoms in pink and white against a vivid magenta background. The lush mix of Victorian-inflected fashion and Japanese textile details (note the richly patterned green obi) signals the Yokohama-set romantic atmosphere the series promises. Published under Shogakukan's Cheese! Flower Comics imprint, this first volume is a genuinely stylish invitation into what looks like a world where East and West meet in elegant, romantic fashion.
