Paradise Kiss: 20th Anniversary Edition

Wildly-popular artist Ai Yazawa's beloved fashion-centric manga, Paradise Kiss, is back in a glamorous omnibus edition to celebrate 20 years since the manga began serialization.

Follow Yukari's through-the-looking-glass journey as she is drawn into the world of fashion by a group of passionate, young aesthetes who are determined to make their couture label a success, with Yukari as their muse....

"Admittedly, the premise of Paradise Kiss sounds like an improbable schoolyard fantasy-ordinary girl falls for glamorous fashion prodigy, then enters alter nate hipster universe-but the emotions are real.... [A] message of individu alism is also clear to see in Ai Yazawa's art style, which freely diverges from 'normal manga' and instead takes its cue from the worlds of high fashion and counterculture."
