Holiday Review: KAIJU GIRL CARAMELISE

That being said, my shojo series is technically not shojo (it runs in Morning Two, a seinen magazine), but for all intensive purposes is the best and weirdest shojo manga to come out in English this year.

KAIJU GIRL CARAMELISE (Otome Kaiju Kyaramerize), by Spica Aoki.  First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2019.



PLOT:

Kuroe Akaishi doesn't want anyone to get too close to her.  For as long as she can remember, whenever her feelings grow too strong her body undergoes monstrous changes.  That's why she goes out of her way to avoid Arata, the cutest boy in class.  When he reaches out to her anyway, she finds herself falling for him.  The closer he gets, though, the greater the risk that Kuroe's overwhelming feelings will turn her into a towering, city-stomping monster of love.
