Renowned
manga artist Fumika Minami will launch a new series titled Kawaii Dōmei
(translated as "Adorable Alliance") this Friday, June 7, through
Shogakukan's Manga ONE app. The news was officially revealed on Monday, raising
expectations among her fans.
According
to the preliminary synopsis shared by the platform, the story centers on a
manly-looking girl and a sweet and delicate girl who maintain a secret love
affair. The approach seems to follow Minami's signature style, which often
addresses emotional bonds with intimate and unconventional overtones.

loyal fanbase.
