I'm frothing at the mouth from how badly I need a new shoujo.

I suppose one of the appeals of our genre is that we're like diamonds in the rough... Very rare 😂

But if you haven't seen them, some newer shoujos are: Ore Monogatari, Orange, Snow White with the Red Hair, Requiem for the Rose King,and (coming up) Tokyo Mew Mew

Those middle ages, knights, princesses, blonde princes, white horses, victorian clothes shows/LNs are certainly a thing in Japan, arent they.

This looks very nice.

Very, very true! I'd love if they went the route of Chinese novels and dramas and used ancient Japan as a setting for a change...! But I forgive Bibliophile Princess, I like the art in the LN and manga ❤

Not particularly impressed. The image presented alongside the original announcement had a fairly unique style, but that seems to be entirely lost with the adaptation.
