About the series
In this 2014–2016 Viz Media series, high schooler Anise Yamamoto discovers the four "Rose Knight" cards she carries are actually powerful beings she can summon. The twist: each knight is bound to her by a kiss, and their loyalty comes with a dangerous price. Written and illustrated by Shouko Aida, Kiss of the Rose Princess blends shojo romance with supernatural action, offering a compact nine-issue arc that balances magical battles against the complications of forbidden bonds. It's a distinctive entry in Viz's shojo lineup, notable for its self-contained story and its playful, high-stakes take on summoning magic.
