Cherry Blossoms After Winter: Volume 5

They’re taking their relationship to the next level—and things are heating up fast. The fifth volume of the fan-favorite BL manhwa turned K-drama, now in print for the first time.

Now that they’ve received Ms. Ha’s blessing, Haebom and Taesung feel more secure than ever in their relationship, giving them the confidence to take their romance to a new physical level. With their love life, school life, and social life all going strong, things finally seem to be looking up for the young men.

Eager to make Haebom happy in any and every way possible, Taesung lands a part-time job at a bakery cafe so he can learn how to make Haebom’s favorite desserts. Haebom is thrilled—until someone from Taesung’s past shows up at the cafe and threatens to bring everything crashing back down.

Volume 5 includes episodes 66–87 of the webcomic Cherry Blossoms After Winter.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
