The Summer You Were There #5

Yuama's heartfelt yuri series reaches its fifth volume with a cover that speaks volumes without a single word — two young women in school uniforms hold each other close against a wintry, muted backdrop, both with tears in their eyes, their embrace both tender and quietly anguished. The cool blue-grey palette and falling snow lend the image an almost fragile beauty, perfectly capturing the emotional weight this series is known for. At $13.99, this is a compelling addition to one of 2024's most moving manga romances.
