A full-length novel cover composition viewed from a slightly low angle. Running vertically in large display typography along the right side of the frame, the title reads "少女"灰かぶり"A". Across the bottom margin, horizontal blurb text reads "1995年東京 闇の底に少女は居た".
In the center-left midground stands a twelve-year-old girl with pale white skin, vacant silver eyes, and semi-long silver hair loosely tied in a half-up style, with disheveled wisps framing her face. She wears an off-white, dirt-smudged short-sleeved T-shirt with a twisted, stretched neckline drooping off one collarbone and loose, frayed threads dangling along its uneven hem. Her dark long trousers are torn raggedly across both knees, and on her feet are battered, threadbare sneakers planted flat on damp pavement. Her posture is slumped and hollowed, shoulders slightly rounded, with her thin arms hanging limp against her sides as her knuckles brush the denim at her thighs, gazing forward with quiet, detached sorrow.
She stands in a dim, grimy Tokyo back alley where weathered concrete walls fade into heavy, murky shadows. Low-key lighting dominates the scene, bathing the damp environment in cool teal-blue tones while a single weak overhead light source casts soft, subtle highlights across the crown of her silver hair, the ridges of her collarbones, and the frayed edges of her shirt, leaving diffuse, softened reflections on the wet asphalt below. Soft, painterly anime style with visible brush textures, layered color blocks, and delicate, loose sketch-like linework. Quiet melancholic tone.
