Shugyoku no Meisaku Anthology

A multi-volume shoujo anthology pulling together short works by a wide roster of veteran artists around themed issues. Volume one, 'Kazoku no Joukei', focuses on family scenes with stories by Moto Hagio, Akimi Yoshida, Yumi Tamura, Sakumi Yoshino, Akiko Hatsu, Keiko Nishi, Akemi Yoshimura and Misako Nachi. Subsequent volumes explore meetings and partings ('Deai to Betsuri'), love and kisses ('100-mankai no Kiss', '99-man Tsubu no Namida'), and lighter or stranger territory in 'Dokoka ni Aru Neko no Kuni' (a cat-themed lineup), the fairy-tale flavored 'Hime to Ouji to Romance to' and the eerier 'Ayashii Rinjin-tachi'. Recurring contributors include Moto Hagio, Akimi Yoshida, Yumi Tamura, Sakumi Yoshino, Akiko Hatsu, Chiho Saito, Mariko Iwadate, Natsuno Kiyohara and Chie Shinohara, with titles such as 'Lovers Kiss', 'Aoi Tori', 'Hikari no Niwa', 'Rose Flakes' and the 'Boku ga... Wake' series anchoring the line.
