Like a Butterfly, Vol. 12

Would you rather wait for love like a flower, or fly toward love like a butterfly? Suiren Shibazeki is often compared to a beautiful flower—but one that grows on the tallest peak of a mountain, forever out of reach. When Suiren develops feelings for the quiet Taichi Kawasumi, however, she doesn’t want to be a distant flower. She’d rather leave her lofty perch and fly toward him like a butterfly.

Suiren and Kawasumi’s love story continues in this collection of spin-offs, one-shots, and bonus chapters! Extras include the couple’s meet-cute from Kawasumi’s perspective, a chapter about Yuri and Daisuke’s long-distance difficulties, the slow burn of Koharu and Atohira’s budding romance, and many more. Also included is the Like a Butterfly one-shot that started it all, as well as tributes and original artwork from other manga artists celebrating the series’ success.

Genre: Comedy, Romance. Shojo manga.
