New on Shoujo Shelves – September 2014

Well, summer’s winding down and it’s back to hitting the books for most students. If you’re procrastinating on your study time, then why not pick up some manga to read instead. Here’s what’s come out on shoujo shelves for the month of September 2014:

Is anyone else kind of sick of the Alice in Wonderland themes? There’s three different titles on here pertaining to that. The only one that looks interesting to me is Are You Alice?  by Katagiri. Say sayonara to Dawn of the Arcana and Midnight Secretary, this will be the last volumes of those series. Also, we’re getting a new series by Wann from NetComics, and… geez!.. another new “Alice” title from Seven Seas. And oh yeah, this volume of Skip Beat! is my favorite – Go Kyoko!
