BeruBara Kids 5 was just released today! Ok, ok, so I guess it's already yesterday in Japan. But it's still news!!
I *heart* the cover. Everyone is assigned their own cat(s), for better or for worse heehee. It's so adorable! Just look at all the pretty little bijoux!! My one weakness~ hahaha~
There will be one of four limited edition calendars included, just like with volume 4 (which I still need to open and scan btw >.>).
There's a nice little summary of the new volume on the BeruBara Kids Plaza blog if you can read Japanese. You can also check out a preview page on the Asahi Publishing page (click on ...

I'm back with the next page of BeruBara Kids! The theme this time seems to be about dressing in drag... sort of. Hopefully it will make more sense if once the article translation is finished.

Let me know if you want those SFX to be translated in the Notes section. (I know some people hate that, but not everyone knows Japanese.)
Sorry to keep you waiting. I hope you enjoy it!

Since Bijou Blade's first release is BeruBara Kids, I think it only makes sense that the first series recommendation should be the original Rose of Versailles 「ベルサイユのばら」 manga and anime. Now, since you've found this site at all, you are probably already familiar with The Rose of Versailles (aka. BeruBara) in one of it's many incarnations, or perhaps you've only seen references to it in discussions or lists of "classic" anime and manga.
A quick summary for those unfamiliar with the BeruBara legacy: There's an anime series, a live action movie, a drama, multiple theatrical musicals, the BeruBara Kids parody comics, and, of course, the original manga by Riyoko Ikeda which all these other versions are based on. Not to ...
