How Shoujo Ai Got Its Name from ‘The Book of Shadows’

In the novel The Book of Secrets, a young girl learns the power of her father by reading a book about a magical mirror that turns anyone into a ghost, or a ghost into a person.

Now, the Shoujou-san series is bringing that idea to life, using a mirror as a source of power for a new shoujo anime.

Shouji Yamashita, the character designer behind Shoujin, will be handling the series scripts, and Shoukawa Kiyoko will be adapting the character designs for the series.

Yamashitta’s character design is a mixture of the characters from the book series, and his art style is very similar to those from The Book Of Shadows.

The series is slated to premiere on January 18th at Tokyo MX.——
