I picked up this book because it had such beautiful art and the story seemed interesting. Well, I picked right. The only thing is that the plot sort of confused me and I had to re-read over some parts, otherwise, a great manga.

TW: M/M romance, cross-dressing, at least one of the volumes also had noncon

Same issues as Volume 1. Graphic novel about a prince that has to dress up as his sister, when his sister runs off with a commoner right before her wedding. Of course, the prince falls in love with his groom, and the groom eventually discovers that his "bride" isn't who "she" seems. I liked the general premise of the story; however, the artwork was very confusing in terms of who was who. Most of the men looked way too similar to one another, especially the various older brothers of the two main characters. There's also a very confusing side story between the crown prince of the husband's kingdom and the healer. This series would have seriously benefitted from either color illustrations so that it was a little easier to tell who was which prince based on hair, eye, and clothing colors or more differentiation in facial features. It's a fun, short reading, just a little confusing.

I remembered I liked it a lot as a silly fangirl when I was younger. I can't remember details from the story. I liked the art style.

I'm loving this series. The story and art are beautiful, and complex.

I like the plot but the transition between scenes is poorly done and gets muddle.

In this manhwa, Princess Elena returns to take back her place as Prince Zed's wife. But, Prince Zed is not that welcoming of her. Princess Reiny, his sister also realise that Elena is not the one that she has known earlier. I think the only interesting thing that developed was that I finally see Prince Zed to be more assertive in taking his place as the rightful heir.

Besides that, here I got to know that the person whom they call mother is just the King's mistress so Derik isn't even supposed to be the crown prince. How I hated the mistress. she was given a chance to repent before, but instead she wanted to commit more crimes so that she can get her son to be the king some day.

I also do not like the Shahi, the healer in the palace. He is treated like a lover by Derik but I think it was forced. He is forced to do the unthinkables as in sex and murder, but he actually have the power to poison the evil mistress and his son. He could easily poison them little by little and they would not even know. Why would he be Derik's toy is a mystery to me. He said he has a deal with Derik but seriously, is that deal worth it? Kill him before he has a devil spawn Shahi, or before he rule the country for surely he will be a bad king.

I know that it's never a good idea to start at volume 2, but the concept of this one just totally grabbed me. (Boy gets sent in sister's place to be part of a politically strategic marriage, etc). So I borrowed it. I do think I'll have to read it through at least once more before I return it to the library, given that I'm still not entirely able to keep the characters clear in my head - I'm finding it very difficult to tell them apart. But I have now put reserves on volumes 1 and 3 from a different library system (one which, thankfully, has access to all the volumes) so hopefully once I've read the beginning of the story it will come a little more clear.

That said, shonen-ai is a totally new thing for me. I still love the idea of the story, it just remains to be seen whether I'll be able to get my head into the right place to be able to understand it and be able to distinguish characters. (I do kind of love the mini-me versions that express internal emotion, though...)

not sure which is more impenetrable - the plot, the art (lots of characters who basically look the same) or the translation, which more than lives down to netcomics' usual standards. i'm pretty sure i'm missing information because i just can't work out what the characters actually mean to say. but intriguing enough that i'll keep reading.

[Sparrow · Rating 2 out of 5]

In this volume, the plot becomes more confusing, more named characters are introduced, almost indiscernible from other characters, and conflict becomes incredibly complicated. I still love the art, but it's far too difficult to follow what the heck is going on. It seems like the main plot - Jed and Nicole's relationship - becomes subplot compared to everyone else's problems.

prince or princess there sure need to watch their backs around this family.

For me, the pacing of this volume was off. I'm willing to continue in the series, but I felt this one one slowed down until about the last 20 or so pages, to its detriment.
