About the series
In 2010–2011, Yen Press adapted the world of Manhattan's elite private school social scene into a manga format, condensing the gossip and glamour of the Gossip Girl universe into three compact issues. This short-lived series translated the iconic, anonymous blogger's narration and the intertwined dramas of privileged teens into a visual style distinct from the original novels or TV show. Though brief, it stands as a curious crossover, bringing Western young adult soap opera into the Japanese manga aesthetic.
