“Ouji-sama Joshi” Yuri Anthology STAYGOLD (「王子様女子」百合アンソロジー STAYGOLD)

January 30th, 2024

A girl with short, boyish haircut, wearing an ermine-trimmed red cape and crown along with her school uniform of red plaid skirt and tie, black sweater and white shirt, bows and holds her hand out to us.Who doesn’t love good “Girl Prince” story? Even when confined to school grounds, the archetype of the coolest girl gives everyone a chance to fall in love from a distance. In the doujinhsi collection “Ouji-sama Joshi” Yuri Anthology STAYGOLD (「王子様女子」百合アンソロジー STAYGOLD) a number of popular Yuri artists take that opportunity and put together a fun, occasionally thoughtful, look at what it means to be a Girl Prince, or to be in love with one.

Spearheaded by Canno, creator of Kiss & White Lily For My Dearest Girl, this anthology includes two stories by her, as bookends for the collection, in school…and out. The collection includes contributions from Ohsawa Yayoi, Jackie, Ajiichi, Pikachi, Mimoto, Yukiko and others, so you get a lot of cute shorts for your money. 
Both Jackie and Pikachi look at schools with 2 princes and how they get along…or not. I think Pikachi wins that battle with typical wholesome cuteness.

My favorite short was by Yuino Chiri, in which the school princess has had quite enough of being protected and has worked out until she’s jacked, so she can save the prince for once. Bonus points that for the threat being a random runaway lion. ^_^

It’s exactly what one wants from a doujinshi anthology – a strong theme, great contributors, fun stories and some light Yuri romance. ^_^

Overall – 8

I got this anthology from Melonbooks, which appears to be the only online source for it. Check out the STAYGOLD Twitter account for some sample pages!
