Coming this Fall are:

Princess Princess by Mikiyo Tsuda
Street Date: 11/1/2006

Peer pressure has never been this intense!

Why is Kouno receiving such an overly warm welcome at his new all boys' school?!? Sure he is pretty handsome for his age, but such a response is usually reserved for cute girls. Little does Kouno know about the secret Hime, or Princess, system in effect at the school. Cute boys are chosen to dress up as girls at school events to provide a touch of femininity in the sea of testosterone! By the time Kouno finally catches on to the oddities of his school, he discovers that he has been elected as a candidate! Kouno, lured by the “benefits” of being a princess, takes on the job with the other two princesses Mikoto and Shihoudani; and the chaos begins.

From the author of The Day of Revolution, comes a hyper active high school story. What'€™s in store for our three princesses as they don Gothic Lolita-styled outfits and are forced to cheer for clubs every day??

Currently being adapted into an anime in Japan, don’t miss out on this tale of cross-dressing gone haywire!

Enchanter by Izumi Kawachi

Fulcanelli is an "Enchanter,"€ an ancient engineer/alchemist who is able to imbue the weapons and gadgets he constructs with magical powers.
