Audiences have been having a great time perusing more alternative styles of Yuri manga. Whether they are relishing in the current shakaijin trend or enjoying a fantasy adventure, there are more types of stories to choose for than ever before. However, it is nice every once and a while to return to the roots, classic schoolgirl romance. Ajiichi’s Failed Princesses is just such a work, staying in the comfortable home territory most Yurijin are familiar with while maintaining enough originality and quality material to keep readers engaged.
Failed Princesses follows Fujishiro Nanaki, a popular gyaru, and her classmate Kurokawa Kanade, a wallflower fujoshi (Yaoi fangirl). Although they start as enemies, after Kurokawa witnesses Fujishiro’s boyfriend rudely insult and dump her after saying that she was his side chick, the two begin to grow closer. Plenty of stories about a popular girl befriending and then romancing a quiet girl exist, many of which are written by Milk Morinaga. Thankfully, Ajiichi changes this narrative up a little by establishing that the two live in completely separate spheres. Fujishiro often bullies and insults Kurokawa’s haphazardly appearance and openly expresses her disgust that anyone could take so little pride in her appearance. However, after Kurokawa comforts Fujishiro and promises to keep her secret, the gyaru feels indebted to her and appears determined to befriend her.
