    For a long time in the world of gaming, there have been two principal titans. The first is the combined might of the west, generally consolidated around the UK and the United States. The other is Japan, the relatively smaller nation which is responsible for perhaps more contributions to gaming than all other countries combined.

Little Miss P has gained wide attention in Japan for dealing with the often-taboo topic of menstruation. The first volume of the series was published in-print and digitally by Yen Press last year. A Japanese live action film based on the manga is also set to be produced. Little Miss P: The Second Day is available now in-print and digitally from Yen Press’ online partners. Because everyone’s cycle is different, there’s a Seiri-chan (or period) for each person. But they all look (more or less) the same, so it’s easier to call them ‘Seiri-chan’ as a group.
