[Serialized in LaLa DX]
Published in Indonesia as Absolute Peace Strategy by Elex Media
Commend Kyaaa~ kakkoii! Prince Johanne and LMAO! Princess Euda for their perseverance (Percy who?) at upholding Peace at Any Price! in their respective warring kingdoms by playing desperately rabu rabu Rome×Juli in front of the press whilst squabbling Petruchio×Katherina-like off-camera. Ogle at the rumpus the Cute Couple gets up to in Absolute Peace Strategy 2, tied with Red Haired Anne 3 for top DO WANT!manga.
Red Haired Anne 3 by Igarashi Yumiko
In Igarashi Yumiko-sensei's Anne of Green Gables shoujo iteration, Matthew presents Anne with a gift to mark the Christmas concert. Is it any wonder then that Anne matures, surrounded by warm-hearted people?
(Now that Akage no Anne has concluded, anyone wanna speculate long will Elex make us wait for the next Anne no Seishun/Anne of Avonlea?)
Update: It appears Elex has no intention of making us wait; the 3.30 STO includes Red Haired Anne 4.
