Volumes
Status in Japan :: complete at 14 volumes
Status in US :: 14/14 released
Volume 1
Sixteen-year-old tomboy Ito Miura has been chosen to play Romeo in Romeo and Juliet! The problem? She doesn't want the male role! So, who will be Juliet? The favorite for the part, beautiful and vain Tsugumi, must compete with the cute new transfer student, Makoto Amano. But Makoto has a secret, and if rival Tsugumi, or anyone in the school, finds out, it could ruin Makoto's life, dragging Ito down as well!
Volume 2
Sixteen-year-old tomboy Ito Miura has become fast friends with her schoolmate and fellow drama enthusiast Makoto Amano. The problem? Makoto's a boy who must pass as a female drama student in order for his family to approve of his acting ambitions.
Just as Ito and Makoto begin to feel the impact of their strong attraction to each other, Takayo, a fiancée imposed on Makoto from childhood, and her sinister brother Takashi, have decided to transfer into Makoto's new school! Add a college-age lothario and a spoiled rich-girl actress, and what chance can gender-bending true-love possibly have?
Volume 3
A high school field trip to an amusement park has Ito and Makoto switching clothes just to hang out together, and their friendship is threatened when a classmate sees through the ruse. Later, back in the drama-club, cute new student Kohei is determined to win the "woman" of his dreams: Makoto!
Volume 4
A trip to Hokkaido sends Ito into the arms of a brand new paramour. Then, Makoto's dysfunctional family secrets are revealed when his oldest sister returns home. It turns out Makoto is not the only rebel in the family!
Volume 5
Creepy Sakamoto is looking for a girlfriend, and he wouldn't mind dating Ito or Makoto! Then Makoto's sister Tsubaki is brought in to Sakura High--she's says it's to be a teacher, but is it actually to be a spy for Makoto's father? It looks like Makoto and Ito have a few high hurdles to jump before they see the finish line!
Volume 6
Makoto's doting sister Tsubaki finds out that Makoto hasn't kept his secret from Ito! She threatens to tell Makoto's father unless Makoto and Ito's homeroom can win a school competition. Then Makoto accompanies the entire Miura household to their ancestral home to meet Ito's eccentric, sharp-witted grandmother. Little does Ito know that her past will catch up with her there...literally!
Volume 7
Makoto has a fever, and his closest friends' concern over his sickness may be the very thing that reveals Makoto's secret to his classmates--forcing him to give up his dreams and return home! Then Ito is caught on the grounds of the Narita residence by Makoto's father, and her life is in the hands of fate! Even if Makoto is able to make it to the scene in time, can he stop the very man who taught him to fight from attacking the woman he loves?!
Volume 8
Makoto's father is trying to force Akane into an arranged marriage, and to help Makoto, she's willing to do it! But can Makoto allow his sister to marry a man she doesn't even know so that he can get a chance to make a life for himself as an actor? And who is that handsome man who is always there to come to Akane's rescue? Then, Tsugumi invites Ito to the beach, and the whole gang comes along for an adventure so bizarre, it must be a dream. Or is it?
Volume 9
Family ties deepen when Makoto's sister Akane invites Ito's brother Yûto to a fireworks display--could another romance be about to explode? And now, with just seven months left until graduation, Makoto's acting ambition is threatened again. His father, becoming increasingly desperate to ensure that his son return home to inherit the family dojo, enlists the aid of Makoto's arranged fiancée Takayo and her devious brother. Will they succeed in thwarting Makoto's dream?
Volume 10
At the Drama Club's summer training camp, Ito reunites with Jôtaro, a childhood friend who is the son of a well-known actor. Though he bullied Ito as a tot, Jôtaro is repentant--and Makoto suspects his affection goes beyond friendship. Three is a crowd where love is concerned, and Makoto wants Ito to tell Jôtaro she's already taken. But that task turns out to be a bit difficult...
Volume 11
Makoto's 18th birthday is just around the corner and Ito hopes that her present, a caramel flan, will do what her horoscope promised and capture his heart. She brings the dessert to his party as a surprise--but ends up getting some surprises there herself! More romance abounds as the relationships between Ito's brother Yûto and Makoto's sister Akane--and between their friends Yoshirô and Misaki--undergo dramatic new developments.
Volume 12
It's time for the Cultural Festival--an event that could change Makoto's life for good! Makoto's father has invited the toughest critics he could find to judge his son's acting talent. If they say he has the skills to become a professional actor, Makoto will not only get out of his obligation to run the family dojo, he will also be free of his arranged fiancée, Takayo. But his big audition may be ruined when Nobuko is taken hostage by bank robbers and the Festival is cancelled...
Volume 13
Graduation is only months away, and keeping Makoto's gender a secret is more challenging than ever! Since Makoto's father is dead-set against his son's choice of profession, he has decided not to attend the graduation ceremony. But Ito is intent on strengthening the bond between Makoto and his father. She convinces Makoto to spend the New Year's holiday with his family in the hope that the pigheaded patriarch will change his mind. Makoto is quite confident in his acting skills, but will his persuasive abilities measure up?
Volume 14
It's finally graduation time! Having fulfilled all of his father's conditions, Makoto no longer has to disguise himself as a woman. Unfortunately, all the trouble hasn't ended for he and Ito. Her family is having a hard time accepting her as an adult who can make her own decisions...and will they accept Makoto as a man?! This heartwarming finale to the series includes a special episode that shows what Ito and Makoto are up to a year after they graduate!

Thank you.
While looking to for new Natuto or Negima releases on Bakaupdates, I found that Emura has continued W Juliet in W Juliet II. I'm not sure if it's a one shot or a new series, does anyone have any aditional info. Here's hoping it comes stateside.

I liked what I read of W Juliet (I borrowed it from my friend) The story seemed good, and plus anything with cross dressing get's my vote for something worth reading. But I'm not sure if I'm going to read W Juliet II I don't think that there is really a reason for anymore of it.

I've read chapter 1 of W Juliet II (you can find it easily through google), and was rather confused...though that's probably becuause I never read the first series... xd
At the moment, there are two volumes of the W Juliet II, but it's still ongoing.

I just finished the series and I liked it. It's interesting to see how the characters evolve with one another. And it's pretty funny too.
