God this was my favourite volume yet, nothing to really drive the plot along and no real action BUT IT WAS SO CUTE!! Pls I loved this volume so much, so many cute moments between Shirayuki and Ren and so much cute stuff going on I loved itttttt

Shirayuki's naturally bright-red hair has gotten her into a lot of trouble forcing her to flee to the neighboring kingdom... but fortunately it allowed her to meet the prince of Clarines, Zen! Thus starts a friendship between a most unusual herbalist and a lovestruck prince.
This was a fun volume! There is a twist at the end f the pirate arc that I totally didn’t see coming. It was a tad anticlimactic due to how that turned out but I still really enjoyed it. It ties up the entire explanation as to why these half-decent guys were trying to kidnap Shirayuki.
Returning to the palace, we get a couple royal herbalist arcs. They were both fun in their own way with highlighting Shirayuki and Zen’s relationship or revealing some of the carnal center of our prince. Shirayuki is also totally blown away by Prince Izana who asks her a pointed question about Zen. But I loved how that was resolved.
Several milestones were reached in this volume too transitioning us to a new status quo to suit Shirayuki and Zen’s growing commitment. It makes me really excited for the next volume of Snow White with the Red Hair.

This series is honestly so much fun, and the more I read the more I get into it. These characters are really growing on me (even Izana! Shockingly enough. 😂) and I am fond of so many of them, especially our core friend group who are all just amazing in their own ways. Not to mention Zen and Shirayuki are just too cute as a couple—they are serious goals in just how much they trust and rely on each other while also inspiring each other to be better. It’s seriously wonderful. 🥰🥰
I loved the end of the pirate arc and all of these characters’ adventures throughout this volume, but I gotta say the Mitsuhide hypnosis arc was THE FUNNIEST thing ever, LOL! I COULD NOT stop laughing during that whole chapter and just the others’ reactions to him during that time was hilarious! 🤣🤣 I really hope this is in the anime because that would be so stinking funny to watch.
I’m really growing to love this series, and I’m looking forward to the next volume!

I really love this series. A perfect Shoujo. Two adorable kind people falling in love and supporting each other.
The end of the pirate arc. Some really interesting reveals. I hope to see some of the new characters in later volumes.

Zurück im Schloss geht Shirayukis normales Leben in der Hofapotheke weiter. Ich mag die Kapitel, die vom Leben im Schloss berichten. Shirayuki macht sich allerdings auch Gedanken darüber, wo sie in ihrem Leben stehen möchte. 💕
Prinz Izana mochte ich seit seinem ersten Auftritt super gerne. Jetzt ist mir aufgefallen, dass er optisch Hauro/Howl aus Das wandelnde Schloss ähnelt! Vielleicht mochte ich ihn deshalb direkt. :D

Rereading Review:
This volume is a much needed respite from the action and focuses more on the downtime of our main characters! I also love how the mangaka is taking her time developing all the relationships, it's very realistically done!

All I can say is that this volume is so cute! We get to see so much growth in Zen and Shirayuki’s relationship and it’s adorable!

I love how Shirayuki is always so upbeat and makes friends so easily. It was great to see her growing relationship with Raj and Obi here, as well as the way she and Zen are so supportive of each other. I feel like in a lot of romances the couple is usually jealous of other friends, but not at all here.
One thing that did bug me is that we found out a few books ago Zen is 19, and her we find that Raj is 17, and yet in the side story Raj is told Zen is younger....
A very fun series!

I have previously read all of the volumes prior and was so surprised to find volume 7 on NetGalley. Thanks to them for providing a copy for my review!
This was so fun to read!! Zen, the prince, and Shirayuki had so much fun in this one! Ah man... I really love this series! It was a blast to read more! The art style is consistent with the rest and the characters are growing (something that I look for, to see if the artist understands everyone grows over time). Nothing but thumbs ups from me!!

Pretty much the end of season 2 with only maybe a chapter in the next volume would equate to it.
A good volume, not as exciting as the previous but still has some very nice moments between ren and shirayuki

THE KISS, THE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING, THE PLOT!
I don't even mind that 2 of the chapters were recap-y I still loved everything that happened.

"From this single meeting grows a connection."
Another wonderful volume!!
THOUGH THAT TWIST NEAR THE BEGINNING! :o :o :o
I was so shocked!! I had to read it twice so I could actually comprehend what I read because I was so caught off guard! LOL! But it was a nice moment and led to a WONDERFUL quiet moment between Shirayuki and Zen, which I am ALWAYS here for! And speaking of…
Lots of great moments between them in this one! I enjoyed the role-playing that happened because I feel it allowed them both to sort of have more freedom (though not sure how accurate that is in me saying so?). Nonetheless, the Palace Exhibition Day was a very enjoyable chapter!
MITSUDIHEEEEEEE!!
While I felt a tad confused in a few parts, I thought it was a genuinely moving chapter in seeing how deep his loyalty, love, and respect are for Zen. He's been one of my favorite characters so I really enjoyed him having a focus and getting to know more about him (to a degree anyway)!
That moment with Shirayuki and the envoy made me tear up! I am SO happy for her!! Izana made me mad though. Bleh. LOL! But I'm glad to see Izana eating his words in that one very powerful moment!
The final pages were so beautiful and finally caved in buying merch of these two precious little beans! These characters have quickly become some of my favorites and SO happy to be reading this series! It has been such a joy!

This feels like the end to an arc; the arc of Shirayuki and Zen courting each other, and the beginning to the arc of them braving the world of its distaste toward their relationship. If only everyone else in the world could see Zen and Shirayuki from a spectator’s view, perhaps they’d approve. I feel like their largest hurdle will be winning over Izana. It seems as though Izana does like Shirayuki but he does not like the place she holds in Zen’s life, therefore he cannot appear kind to her. I think that the moment they are able to receive Izana’s approval will likely be in tandem with the kingdom’s approval. Izana is a wonderful prince in that he only ever thinks for his kingdom. That being said though, I wonder how often he lets himself think in terms of family, or what that means for him?
Speaking of family, we meet Shirayuki’s father, who has actually been alive this entire time (though her mother remains deceased). We find out her parents were a couple of outlaw runaways living in secret within Tanbarun, their relationship being their cause of crime. I don’t think Shirayuki nor Zen related this, but some part of her parents’ love makes me think that it’s very similar to the love she and Zen share; a love that cares not for titles or rules, a love that simply wishes to love.
Lastly, Obi and Raj. Not related of course but I’d like to mention them both because they both have been getting more appearances. I see that the mangaka is placing Obi in as many places as possible likely because he’s one of the top most popular characters in the manga (as per voting polls in LaLa DX). As for Raj, his story seems over only for now, but considering there’s 20+ volumes, he better return. I really like him now, and I hope many other fans do as well.
P.S. Mitsuhide and Kiki are fantastic as always.

Un tome plus généreux en histoires secondaires qu'en péripéties telles que celle qu'on a eu dans les tomes 5 et 6, puisque plusieurs chapitres concernent des petites histoires agréables, mêmes si pas spécialement essentielles. Néanmoins j'y ai trouvé mon compte, j'ai eu ma dose d'instants craquants et on peut noter pendant ces chapitres une évolution chez les personnages. Au début du tome on a quand même la conclusion de l'histoire développée pendant quelque temps. Une conclusion rapide, mais l'histoire avait été suffisamment traitée auparavant, et qui dévoile une surprise, ma foi fort agréable. Cette surprise a de grandes chances de revenir sur le devant de la scène un peu plus tard. Les personnages qui s'en vont ne le reste pas forcément et, celui qui se dévoile dans ce tome reste important donc il devrait revenir, lui ainsi que toute sa troupe. Bref, pas de suspense, j'ai adoré ce tome.

short series review: In this complete overhaul of the Snow White fairytale, the "princess" is a herbalist with flaming red hair. One prince is demanding that she become his mistress, the other is the one who falls for the poisoned apple. That's just the start of their story. This series is like the best of all the Disney Princess movies wrapped up into one, with none of the awkward musical numbers... and all of the strong girls who know how to take care of themselves.

Another great volume!
I just love this series. It's so sweet. I love how easy the relationship of Zen and Shirayuki is. There's no drag in the discovery of their feelings for each other and no hesitation in admitting how they feel either. It's very refreshing for a shojo manga. You know there's going to be hardships but you also get the sense that it will only strengthen them. Zen and Shirayuki's relationship makes me think this is what's it like to be in love with your best friend!

Still love this! Wrapped up one of my favorite arc's from the anime in this one, and moving forward things are going to be really interesting!

"Snow White with the Red Hair" is fantasy-type manga that takes place in a faraway kingdom. At the beginning of the tale, Shirayuki wants to become an herbalist, but the prince of Tanbarun is planning to make her his concubine! She makes a run for it and encounters Zen, the second prince of the nearby kingdom of Wisteria. Zen helps her escape from her plight and escorts her to his kingdom, where she becomes a full-fledged court herbalist. The rest of the story follows their adventures together (and apart!) as they develop deeper feelings for one another and work to overcome the gap between their social stations.
What impressed me the most about this story was how balanced the characters were. Often, characters are written with extreme characteristics and stereotypes. While this can be funny and distinctive, it can also get old after a while. It was refreshing to see that Shirayuki wasn’t a helpless princess, nor was she refusing assistance. She certainly did want to do things for herself and on her own, but she wasn’t above accepting help when she needed it. Even Zen, despite his stubbornness and rule-flouting tendencies, didn’t just rush off to do whatever he wanted all the time. Instead, he faithfully played the role of prince and followed his duty rather than his emotions.
Personally, I find it so much easier to connect with a character who knows how to flex and adapt as their situation changes. Plus, it was so exciting to see these characters build their relationship the “right way,” by working through the rules and customs of their world so they could perform the roles they’d been given to the best of their abilities.

Beware there is a small spoiler (yes that thing happening is somehow inconsequential in the story & could've absolutely been refrained from being written💀 it's also full of filler 🙄)
So Zen kissed Shirayuki during her sleep... and everybody in the review section is ok with that?!?!? MAY I REMIND EVERYONE THAT THEY'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO SOMEWHERE IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WHERE THAT IS OK TO DO?!?!? WTF
And everyone just finds it cute.... unbelievable.
I hate when it's portrayed as romantic. Also the romance sucks in general in this story. Zen is flavourless 😭 Obi could be so much better & in fact they have way more sincere moments together. With her and Zen it's just oh they're looking at me let's blush & no wait don't go! But let's still make no progress in our relationship despute alrwady knowing our mutual feelings and keeping on acting surprised when we hear someone say for the billion time that we seem to like each other and ofc the other overheard it.
Ngl this manga is redundant af. The same plot points keep on happening again & again & again while bringing nothing to the story or overall plot. Maybe because that plot is weak af from how easy them succeeding in their goals actually is. I still own a few volumes of the series so I will continue to read at least those but if it doesn't get better by the time I finish them Im gonna drop it. I can accept a story being mediocre, I can even accept dubious consent/no consent if it's a kiss but I cannot accept the two together. If the story is not pulling the weight I cannot overlook its uncomfortable shit or flaws.
This is not the great shojo everyone screams it is even if I really wanted it to be and have been hoping to see it get good for 7 volumes and keeping on trying to give it a chance for one more volume each time.
We'll see maybe now that their relationship FINALLY progressed maybe their dynamic is gonna get better & I'll finally like their interactions.

I absolutely adored the Snow White with the Red Hair anime and was so supper when I found the manga was only in Japanese! I can guarantee that I flipped when I found out this manga was to be published in English! I’ve read all the volumes up to volume 7... well almost. Sadly, when I had just barely started this manga ( the first few pages) it disappeared from my Aldiko app. I assumed it wasn’t downloaded correctly, but when I went back to the Netgalley website, I was sad to find the volume had been archived and I could no longer re-download and read it ;( I totally understand that books get archived, but I was totally crushed that I couldn’t read it as soon as I could have. And I’m also sad that I can’t write a proper review for the amazing publishers who gave me this E-ARC to reveiw.
I did read the first quarter and was so happy to see all my precious characters that I love so much, but didn’t really get any insight on what the volumes main plot was.
Anyway, I’m sorry for this review, it isn’t my greatest work but I didn’t just want to give up just because I couldn’t read it!
Thank you publishers for gifting me this incredible manga !

There was a lot to commend in this volume.
Art: ★★★★★
Story: ★★★★☆
There was a mastery to Akiduki's line work in this volume that greatly impressed me. She captures so much personality and emotion in her drawings. I was especially impressed with the the tenderness of the romantic scenes, the solidity of the kisses, and the random panels here & there where faces were deftly rendered with the vaguest of lines. She is truly skilled.
The story was excellent, even if you disregard the silly hypnotized Mitsuhide story. I mostly enjoy the main character, Shirayuki. Her pluck and resolve are entertaining. She moves her life forward by bold choices, and carries the prince along in her wake. His character needs more definition and detail. He doesn't seem to exist to do more than fill out paperwork and pine for Shirayuki. Regardless, I enjoyed how matters were resolved with Shirayuki's home country. Even Zen's brother is showing signs of being human underneath his iron facade. Over all, character definition and growth were fairly strong in this volume.

Shirayuki and gang return from their adventure with the Claw of the Sea. The palace is getting ready for Palace Exhibition Day, which Zen dreads. He’d rather hide away from all the prying eyes, but he needs to make an appearance. Shirayuki is busy helping around the palace, and gets roped into helping finish a play after the main character gets injured. She’s also getting ready to take her test to be a full apothecary.
Another fun adventure with Shirayuki and Zen. This volume has them actually talking about their feelings, but also realizing there’s a social divide between them. I like how sweet Zen is, and how eager to help others Shirayuki is. They both have good hearts.
Notes on content:
Language: 5-10 minor swears.
Sexual content: Nothing beyond some handholding.
Violence: There’s a sword fight, but not many people are actually injured.
Ethnic diversity: The characters are from made up kingdoms.
LGBTQ+ content: None specified.
Other: Zen struggles between his duty and desires.

I watched the anime before reading this and I wanted to continue with the series. This volume appears to be the end of that adaptation. It covers the end of the Claw of the Sea arc, its aftermath, and the events that follow, such as Mitsuhide getting hypnotized, and the palace exhibition.
What appears to link them is the contrast in Shirayuki and Zen's relationship. While they grow closer together romantically, the social distance is still an issue. Shirayuki is a court herbalist and official "Friend to the Crown" and this brings her tantalizingly close to Zen, but he is still royalty. There is some drama about that, and it is handled sweetly.
Overall, this is a chill volume. Perhaps something of a breather after the high stakes in the previous arc.
The art is beautiful, as usual with this series.

The end of the fight with the Claw of the Sea; the aftermath and consequences; Mihiya has a rough day; Zen, Shirayuki and Izana get clarity on where they stand for the future.
A quick action section followed by a lot of character moments. After the Big Kidnapping Plot, this feels like a lot more of the everyday moments and trials faced by a group of friends with important duties. We meet some new people, minor ! And the group starts to move forward with new purpose and understanding of each other. Altogether a lovely continuation of the story with lower stakes than the previous volume.
Content notes: Mild swearing from the pirates as they are being defeated. Zen and Shirayuki consider their future, ending with a kiss. The pirates are defeated in the first chapter, with peril, but no bad injuries or deaths shown or implied.

Wrapping up the pirate storyline elevates this volume. The change in publications doesn’t hurt either - everything is reintroduced and we get lots of activity centred within the castle. I love the day-to-day between these characters far more than the grand intrigues.
Zen gets to be dashing, Shirayuki gets to be clever, they have a ton of romantic moments together. It’s what I like best about this series and it’s done to perfection here. Exactly what I needed after a spate of mediocre manga - this is the sort of book that reminds me why I love the genre so much.
The artwork is, as always, beyond reproach. The clothing design alone is astonishingly detailed. I think this is everything this series does well, done as good as it’s been in a while.
