Gakuen Ouji: Gakuen Prince (100th Post!)

*Note: This is my 100th post and I’d just like to thank everyone who comes here and finds my site useful. I will be adding new things soon to make this a shoujo heaven.

Name: Gakuen Ouji (Gakuen Prince)
Mangaka: Yuzuki, Jun

Volumes: 12 (Complete)
Licensed: Kodansha (Complete)
Type: Manga
Genre: Comedy/School Life
Age Group: Older Teens

Summary:
The stage is set in the prestigious Private Joshi (girls) Oka High School, more commonly known as Joshi High. It became co-educational a few years ago, but females still heavily outnumber the males. So small is the number of men that it could be easily counted. While one would think guys would be pampered in such a harem school, the reality is far from heavenly. It is the world of female domination.
