Skip Beat ! #14

Volume 14 of Yoshiki Nakamura's beloved shojo series presents a charming cover pairing: a young woman in an elegant red Little Red Riding Hood costume and lacy pink dress gazes thoughtfully to the side, while beside her looms a snarling, wild-eyed wolf with a burst of dramatic energy between them. The fairy-tale costuming hints at the theatrical, performance-driven world at the heart of Skip Beat!, where ambition and rivalry play out in wonderfully dramatic fashion. Published by Casterman in 2011, this volume is a delightful entry point into one of shojo manga's most spirited and engaging series.
