Failed Princesses
Plot. Fujishiro Nanaki concentrates on being pretty, and is annoyed by others like Kurokawa Kanade who she considers plain. However, after finding out that her boyfriend was cheating on her, Nanaki is consoled by Kanade and their relationship begins a new development. Publication. Written and illustrated by Ajiichi, Failed Princesses was serialised on Takeshobo's Manga Life Storia Dash website from April 6th, 2018 to August 6th, 2021 and was collected into 6 "tankōbon" volumes. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the series for release on print and digital platforms from May 12, 2020. Reception. Anime News Network gave volume  one an overall rating of A−, noting that "Nanaki's use of the phrase “repay you with my body” (meaning her make up and shopping skills) is loaded, with Kanade giving it a sexual connotation in her mind, but right now that's less important than the validation the girls bring to each other: that they are worthwhile people no matter what anyone else says." Erica Friedman of Yuricon praised the work, noting that "This series has a pretty standard beginning, but it definitely picks up steam as it moves along. "
