W Juliet

In the early 2000s, Carlsen Comics brought the beloved manga W Juliet to German readers, spanning 14 issues. This romantic comedy series, written and illustrated by Emura, follows a high school girl who disguises herself as a boy to pursue her dream of becoming an actor, leading to a complicated and heartfelt relationship with a male classmate. A charming exploration of identity and ambition, it remains a standout example of the shojo genre for its cross-dressing premise and genuine emotional depth.
