Manga Contest: Win a Bundle of Shojo Manga by You Higuri

By , About.com GuideJanuary 26, 2009

Follow me on:

Go! Comi wants to introduce more readers to the shojo manga stories of You Higuri. To kick things off, they're running the "Higuri Manga Bundle" contest to give away copies of three of Higuri-sensei's new and popular manga: Cantarella, Angel's Coffin and Crown.

The contest is pretty straightforward -- you just need to be registered with Go! Comi's website, be 13 years or older, and answer a simple question: Name a manga by You Higuri. You also have to enter before Monday, February 2, 2009.

So what's the scoop on these stories? Here's the story synopses, courtesy of Go Comi:

Crown - Written by Shinji Wada with art by You Higuri
Crown is a first-time collaboration with seinen manga author Shinji Wada, and it mixes assassins and international intrigue with Higuri-sensei's signature bishonen hunks. Mahiro thought she was all alone in the world, until her handsome, long-lost brother Ren showed up – with the news that she's really a princess and her rivals to the throne are out to kill her! Ren and his sexy, deadly partner Jake will take on all comers to protect Ren's precious little sister.

Angel's Coffin by You Higuri
Angel's Coffin is a one-shot story that transforms a famously tragic historical romance into a gothic love triangle between a ruthless demon, an innocent girl named Marie, and the Crown Prince Rudolf Habsburg.

Cantarella by You Higuri
From birth, Cesare Borgia is surrounded by hellish shadows that threaten to consume him. Damned by his own father, hated by his closest brother, separated from the sister who loves him, and driven by the demons of Hell itself, he sets out on a quest for power that threatens to set the world of Renaissance Italy ablaze. Will he find salvation in Michelotto, a mysterious assassin bent on saving Cesare's soul -- even if it means slaying his demon-possessed body? Or will all Italy be seduced by the tragic eyes of the infamous murderer known as Cesare Borgia?
