Yume no Shiro by Tsuda Masami, Tonari no Hijiri-kun, Aoizaka High School Baseball Club 1, Sleepless Cinderella 1: m&c! manga (29 April 2008)

I'm thinking m&c!'s anticipating that I buy manga at the end of the month will win the site poll, resulting in 14 manga releases for the last week of April—half of them new series and standalones. Of the seven, one is shōnen (Saikyou! Aoizaka Koukou Yakyuubu AKA Aoizaka High School Baseball Club by Tanaka Motoyuki-sensei), while the rest are shōjo (Cinderella wa Nemurenai; Hana no Namae; Itsuka, Kimi ga Ita; Tonari no Hijiri-kun) and the odd josei (Yayan no Kimochi).

The most intriguing new shōjo release, of course, is the one-volume anthology by Tsuda Masami-sensei, the creator of Kare Kano: Castle of the Dream or Yume no Shiro, which was originally serialized in Hakusensha's LaLa and Lunatic LaLa. The tankōbon contains three stories and here's my translation of the m&c! synopsis of the title story:

A young nobleman discontented with life, Rafens can only show his true self to Chita, his loyal servant. But Chita, who adores her his employer, hides a terrible secret...
