Shoot Juliet Down Vol. 2 (Kodansha, 2026)

Drawn to each other like moths to a flame, glitzy Velvet Kiss's top two hosts Juri and Akatsuki both suffer serious burns when their fierce rivalry turns into a fiery love affair. Frustrated and hurt, Akatsuki lashes out at the poker-faced Juri, known in the club as King Juliet, who stuns the rookie number two by showing true pain and emotion for the very first time before disappearing from sight. Surrounded by nothing but greed and the toxic ties of the Tokyo red light district, can Akatsuki step up to be the prince Juri needs, or will the heavy darkness Juliet carries smother their romance for good?
