Announcement, Amazon, and Volume 6 Cover

Volume 6 Arrives as a Digital Edition
Volume 6 became available through Japanese digital bookstores on August 2, 2026. ebookJapan lists the edition at 770 yen including tax with a total of 204 pages.
The announcement specifically concerns the electronic edition. A printed Volume 6, ISBN, physical book size, and retailer bonuses were not announced alongside it.
Available product pages continue to use the general series synopsis. The chapter range and main story developments collected in Volume 6 have not been separately described.
Yuki Appears in Tears on the New Cover
The cover presents Yuki in profile, with his black hair falling across part of his face. A tear can be seen running from his eye and down his cheek.
This emotional expression contrasts with his usual presentation as Toko's relaxed and attractive younger neighbor. The official account has not explained which scene the illustration represents.
Without a dedicated Volume 6 synopsis, the cover alone cannot confirm why Yuki is crying or how the moment relates to the latest development in his relationship with Toko.
Newly Drawn Manga Included with the Digital Edition
The official account states that Volume 6 includes a new manga created specifically for the digital edition. It provides additional material beyond the regular serialized chapters.
Its title, page count, place in the timeline, and featured characters have not been revealed. The bonus therefore cannot yet be described as an epilogue, side story, or direct continuation.
The edition is distributed through Amazon Japan, BOOK WALKER, ebookJapan, BookLive, and other Japanese stores carrying GANMA! digital releases.
Toko and Her Younger Neighbor's Romance
The story follows Toko, a single mother balancing her job and childcare without regularly relying on other people. Her exhausting routine eventually causes her to collapse.
The person who helps her is Yuki, a university student living in the apartment next door. He is skilled at cooking and caring for children but has a romantic reputation that makes Toko reluctant to trust him.
Their relationship develops through daily life as neighbors, parenting responsibilities, and emotions neither character can easily acknowledge. Toko, who initially has no interest in another relationship, gradually begins confronting her changing feelings.
Official English Release Available through Mangamo
Mangamo publishes the manga in English under the official title When a Divorced Single Mother Met Her Love Swamp.
The existence of an English serialization does not indicate a simultaneous English release for Volume 6. A date for an English collected edition has not been announced.
An official Indonesian edition is also unavailable. The Volume 6 release announced for August 2 currently applies to the Japanese digital edition.
Why This Matters
1) The cover reveals a more emotional side of Yuki
His tears give Volume 6 a heavier visual identity, even though the event behind the illustration remains unexplained.
2) Readers receive material beyond the regular chapters
The newly drawn manga adds content created for the collected edition rather than simply repackaging the ongoing serialization.
3) Toko and Yuki remain at the center of the story
Their age difference, Toko's life as a mother, and Yuki's reputation allow their relationship to develop through conflicts beyond a straightforward neighbors-to-lovers romance.
