Princess Prince

In the early 2000s, Central Park Media published Princess Prince, a 13-issue comic series blending shojo-style romance with gender-bending comedy. Writers Julia Rose and Tomoko Taniguchi, alongside artists Taniguchi and Dan Nakrosis, crafted a lighthearted story of a tomboy princess forced to pose as a prince—only to find herself caught between royal duty and unexpected feelings. This short-lived but fondly remembered series stands out for its playful take on identity and cross-dressing tropes in a Western manga-influenced landscape.
