Akagami no Shirayuki-hime (Snow White with the Red Hair) is a Shoujo, romance manga written and illustrated by Sorata Akizuki. The series began in 2006 in Hakusensha’s LaLa DX and LaLa magazine. To date a total of 14 volumes have been published, with the latest being released on July 3rd.
Here is the synopsis of the series from MAL:
Shirayuki was a young girl born with unique apple-red hair. She meets a famous but foolish Prince Raji, who falls in love with her at first sight and orders her to become his concubine. With nowhere else to go, Shirayuki cuts her hair and escapes to a neighboring country. While traversing through the forests, she meets a young boy, Zen, who helps her after she boldly cures his wounds but then gets poisoned by an apple given to Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Prince Raji sends out henchmen to search for her. What will happen to Shirayuki? What is Zen’s true character? A refreshing fantasy story between an optimistic heroine and a prince who constantly stays on her watch.
The second cour of the Akagami no Shirayuki-hime anime will begin its broadcast in January 2016 during the Winter 2015/2016. Additional information about the anime will be revealed soon.
