*Available for Pre-order Now!
Welcome to Minami-Kitazawa Station, where the trains run strictly on time, customer service is an important priority, and the staff is entirely made up of super good-looking guys! That's the environment 18-year-old Asahi Saruta gets dropped in the middle of when he finds himself assigned there. Asahi's goal is to one day become a train operator like his father, but never in his wildest dreams did he imagine he'd have to deal with a group of strange co-workers like this. Even though Asahi may have been chosen more for his cuteness-factor than his job skills, can he rise to the challenge, or will the day-to-day mayhem of working in a train station cause him to reevaluate his career path altogether?!
PRINCESS PRINCESS PLUS written and illustrated by MIKIYO TSUDA - Rated YA+ (Ages 16+), 5" x 7.2", MSRP: $12.95 US, Available: April 22, 2009
*Available for Pre-order Now!
The new school year is here! Fujimori Academy students Kiriya Matsuoka and Tomoe Izumi have been chosen as this year's princesses, but it's going to take a lot of hard work to bring them up to speed. Enter former princesses Kouno, Shihoudani and Yutaka for a bit of princess training! Although Matsuoka and Izumi seem willing and able to take over the job of dressing up as girls and cheering at school events, they're not exactly what you'd call “friends.” In fact, they seem to be about as opposite as two people can get. This animosity spells trouble for a student body that depends on their princesses to give them a warm, glowy feeling all year long. Can President Sakamoto and the ex-princesses convince Matsuoka and Izumi to bond for the sake of the school? Or will it take more than a common experience to bring two very different people together?
EIKI EIKI is the creator of THE ART OF LOVING, WORLD'S END and DEAR MYSELF all published on Digital Manga's June imprint. MIKIYO TSUDA is creator of the popular PRINCESS PRINCESS series, FAMILY COMPLEX and THE DAY OF REVOLUTION, all published on Digital Manga's DMP imprint. The two are best friends and are known to collaborate frequently on projects together.
