Adapted from the light novels of the same name, Lady Rose wa Heimin ni Naritai (Lady Rose Just Wants to Be a Commoner!) is an otome-game reincarnation story about romance, drama, and…baked goods?! Transported into an otome game she’s playing, our protagonist is Felicia Schwarose, whose engagement to the crown prince has just been shredded. But she isn’t heartbroken, because she never wanted the high life to begin with! Taking the name “Fii Crow,” she becomes a humble baker in the local village—but the game’s love interests just won’t leave her alone! Can Fii avoid her doom flags and live a peaceful life?

2. Ano Ko no Kodomo (My Girlfriend’s Child)
A tender and honest drama about high school relationships and teenage pregnancy takes shape in Ano Ko no Kodomo (My Girlfriend’s Child). Sachi is a typical high school girl, hanging out with her boyfriend Takara. When their relationship starts moving in a more intimate direction, her life takes an unexpected and shocking twist in the form of two red lines on a pregnancy test. While trying to keep the pregnancy a secret from both of their parents, Takara and Sachi must decide the fate of their unborn child despite still being children themselves. This poignant and careful story about teenage love and pregnancy is due for release in April 2023.
1. Watashi wa Gotsugou Shugi na Kaiketsu Tantou no Oujo de aru (The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices) [Manga]
An uproarious comedy about making true love become a reality at any cost, our top pick for new shoujo manga in 2023 is the manga adaptation of Watashi wa Gotsugou Shugi na Kaiketsu Tantou no Oujo de aru (The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices). Reincarnated into her favorite Boys’ Love novel, Maki Tazawa assumes the role of Princess Octavia, getting to watch over her favorite OTP—crown prince Sirius, and his lover Lord Sil. But the throne still needs an heir—and according to the script, Octavia is supposed to agree to a political marriage. But Maki won’t accept such an unfair fate. If her fave couple can have a happy ending, she can too—even if she’s living in a BL novel! A wonderful fantasy that’s LGBT-positive and genuinely funny, The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices’ manga is reincarnating onto a shelf near you in February 2023!
