桜井さんは気づいてほしい [Sakurai-san wa Kidzuite Hoshii] #1

A pink-haired schoolgirl in a white uniform shirt and dark pleated skirt sits atop a school desk, her violet eyes carrying a quietly expectant, slightly flustered expression — perfectly capturing the longing mood the title ("Sakurai-san Wants You to Notice") promises. Creator あきのそら sets a sunlit classroom scene with an airy, coastal-sky backdrop that gives this opening volume a warm, breezy charm. If sweet school-life romance with expressive character art is your thing, this first volume makes a genuinely appealing starting point.
