New on Shoujo Shelves – November 2014

November 14, 2014

It’s November already?! As I write this, it’s freezing temperatures outside, and I’m so glad to be able to snuggle up and read in the indoor heat. There’s plenty of manga to choose from this month, so my pile’s pretty deep. Here’s what’s come out on shoujo shelves for the month of November 2014:

Two new series debut this month – Aya Shouoto’s Kiss of the Rose Princess from Viz, and Hiruna Kurunata’s Ani-Imo from Yen Press. Also, the final volume of Arina Tanemura’s Phantom Thief Jeanne prints this month, so don’t miss the conclusion. If you haven’t read High School Debut or Skip Beat!, now’s the time people! Get those Omnibus editions while you can.

Alice in the Country of Clover: Knights Knowledge vol. 3

When Alice tries to juggle her relationship with Elliot and her increasingly passionate affair with Ace, trouble brews behind the scenes of the assembly. A group of mysterious Faceless have targeted Alice, and the Mad Hatter has been plotting something sinister of his own. In a violent clash for control, it may be those closest to Alice who are in the most danger. The ultimate test will fall on the shoulders of the role-holders of Heart Castle: the Queen, the White Rabbit, and their unpredictable Knight of Hearts.

Story by QuinRose and Art by Sai Asai.

@ Mary – I liked Kaede the best, but Kurama is definitely mysterious. 🙂 I’ll be writing Kiss of the Rose Princess next because it was THAT good. 🙂
