I See Your Face, Turned Away Vol. 01

I See Your, Face Turned Away Vol. 01

From the creator of My Sweet Girl comes a new manga about four teenagers and their four stories of unrequited love. When you don’t want to lose a friendship but long for something more, the only thing you can do is gaze at your beloved’s face, turned away…

A bitter and sweet tale perfect for fans of A Sign of Affection and In the Clear Moonlit Dusk.

I See Your, Face Turned Away Vol. 01. One might call Hikari extraordinarily ordinary. One day, she takes up a new hobby–imagining what a romance would be like between her pretty friend Mari and the cute guy in their class, Ohtani. It’s all in harmless fun, until the roles start to get tangled in Hikari’s mind. Does she really have to be just the best friend in this love story? And just who is on Ohtani’s mind when his eyes drift away…?

Biographical Notes:

Since her debut as a manga artist in 2012, Rumi Ichinohe has become a master of the sweet-but-bitter shojo romance manga. Her first manga to be released in English was My Sweet Girl, and her latest series is I See Your Face, Turned Away (I See Your, Face Turned Away Vol. 01) published by Kodansha.

Title Notes:

The movement from one unrequited love to the next among a cast of four characters will remind readers of bittersweet romance anime like the work of Makoto Shinkai (Suzume, Your Name) and popular manga like A Sign of Affection and In the Clear Moonlit Dusk.

Rumi Ichinohe’s My Sweet Girl was an early hit for Kodansha’s digital romance manga program, and hopes are even higher for this series, which will debut in digital and print at the same time.
