Information about Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki:
Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki, also known as In the Clear Moonlit Dusk, is a shoujo romance manga that is written and illustrated by Mika Yamamori. This manga began its serialization in Japanese publisher Kodansha’s Dessert magazine since July 2020. Currently, Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki is still in serialization and has a total of 8 compilation volumes released.
Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki has the following description:
each time Yoi Takiguchi lets out a sigh, her classmates squeal with admiration and amazement. She has been nicknamed the “prince” of the school because of her youthful appearance and easy-going nature. However, she chooses to be indifferent to the attention she receives and goes about her days normally, until the school’s other prince, Kohaku Ichimura, enters her life and calls her beautiful.
Kohaku is nothing like a prince: he acts without thinking and does as he pleases. But when he compliments her, Yoi gets nervous, and the way he looks at her makes her nervous. He is the first boy to recognize her as a girl, and her attempts to distance herself prove futile, as he seems to have set his eyes on her. Although Yoi keeps telling herself that it’s nothing serious, even she can’t completely ignore the stirring Kohaku causes in her heart.
