Moe Hoshino Works Collection: The Suspicious King and the Secret Queen

This anthology compiles four distinct short stories by manga artist Moe Hoshino, originally serialized in Hakusensha's LaLa and LaLa DX magazines. The collection is anchored by its title story, "The Suspicious King and the Secret Queen," which debuted in the March 2021 issue of LaLa DX, exploring a tale of royal intrigue and hidden identities within a historical fantasy setting. The volume further showcases the author's range through three additional narratives. "Love Dances, But Does Not Advance," published in the October 2021 issue of LaLa, offers a romantic story where feelings swirl without moving forward. "The Sacred Beast White Wolf Contract Tale" delves into mythological themes surrounding a pact with a divine white wolf, while "Do You Dream of the Guillotine?" presents a darker narrative evoking themes of execution and fate. Together, these works highlight Hoshino's signature blend of romance, historical drama, and fantasy elements.
