"A Bus for Two"}} is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sakane Toyobayashi. It began serialization in Shogakukan's ''Weekly Shōnen Sunday'' magazine in November 2025, and has been compiled into two volumes as of May 2026.
==Plot== Shunpei Hinoki is a junior high school student from Azeno, a small town of around 3,000 people. He and his elementary classmate An Takayagawa had known each other since pre-school but were now going to different schools, with their only recent interactions being taking the same bus to school. One day, the two discover that a vending machine that their bus regularly passed by had disappeared, leading to the two speaking to the each other for the first time in a long time. With the two now reconnected, the two begin to re-establish their relationship and make up for lost time.
