"So this...is what desire feels like..."
Ah Mutsuki...I really like him. He's the most complex of all the Rose Knights, but it seems the canon pairing is going to be Kaede x Anise.
Here's the thing: I like this manga, but I don't ever think I will come to love it. It's enjoyable for passing time, but really, it lacks that "spark" that most series have that draws you in. Yes, Anise is a good heroine, but the way the plot is thrown in circles along with some poorly placed humor and sudden romantic teases makes me really annoyed.
This is not a serious manga. Earlier in my review of volume 3, I mentioned that this was like Ouran Host Club in that it wasn't trying to take itself seriously. If you are, you will be disappointed. Even if you don't take it seriously the flaws stick out so obviously it makes me wonder at times what the point of certain things are there for.
In this volume, we have a showdown to win an "Arcana Card" at an idol competition against Rhodecia. It's obvious from the first meeting with Yako and Idel that they are possible enemies and are up to no good. The way the competition went was just way too unrealistic. Anise and her group have to come up with acts on the spot, instead of practicing for them. I would think that a flyer would be given out before or online somewhere for them to prepare for it, but this is not the case.
I won't spoil anything, but Idel and Yako obviously are enemies of a sort and have their own powers. Out of nowhere new enemies just conveniently show up to cause trouble at the perfect moment. And Aya Shouoto is starting to tease readers with many possible romantic pairings. Every knight gets his moment here-except for Tenjo-so if you are dying for some romance between Anise and one of the Knights, here is where that all starts.
I like the manga, but there are soo many flaws. The pacing is all over the place with oddly timed humor and then romantic tension. If Mutsuki and Anise were the canon pair, as cliche as it would be, I honestly believe it would be a good thing for the series. He is a complex character-more so than the other Knights-and his initial dislike for Anise and slow acceptance of her is written well. Not only that, but in this volume he is starting to regain his memories, and it doesn't look like he has the best past. If he and Anise were to get together, they would have a lot of hurdles to jump. And I really want to see that, but unfortunately, Kaede is quickly becoming the love interest.
A nice series, but not one you should be waiting desperately for the next release. I will be continuing with the series, but for now, this is one of the weaker volumes.

This one got a little bit confusing. All these new characters completely ripping the plot apart and sending us on a tailspin. Most likely all will be revealed in the next volume but it's almost as if the author was trying too hard to change the plot around. I mean, Cardcaptor Sakura was several volumes of Sakura just looking for clow cards ... I think so in all honesty, she probably could have milked that little plotline for a bit more. This is my least favourite in the series so far. And now so many romances are being suggested I don't know who to root for.

3 Stars.
Hahaha, this series is just so ridiculous that it works. I can't really see a cohesive story, but I'm enjoying the journey, so, give this manga a go if you just want a light, funny read!

I thought this volume was gonna be a little weird with the idol plot but I actually really liked that half of the volume and the theme park half was really interesting too! Some things are still a little confusing with the plot but I hope they’re resolved in the next one!

Kaede, my number one choice.
Mutsuki, my second.
Seiran, adorable but like a little bro not a lover.
And Tenjo, NOOO. Because he’s a weirdo lol

Anise and her knights are trying to win an arcana card by entering an idol contest. However, the prize of the arcana card is not the first place prize but the prize for second which makes things a little more difficult. While auditioning Rhodecia appears and something doesn't seem quite right about them but Mitsuki can't put his finger on what about them bothers him. There are several stages of the auditions and Anise is disguised as a boy because Seiran draws too much attention to himself because of his cute and possibly girl like appearance. Rhodecia decides to have a competition with Anise and the group while the auditions are going on and reveal themselves to be the orange and lime rose knights.
This was a good volume that really focused on Anise and the knights looking for the arcana cards and towards the end became interesting with the revelation of the "fake" knights and Anise's new friend Mikage seems a little strange which leads me to thinking that the future volumes will lead to more information on the fake roses as well as the introduction of the new character, Mikage. I love Aya Shouoto's artwork and can't wait to see more beautifully illustrated volumes in the future.
I received this advanced copy from VIZ Media through Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review.

After entering the idol contest and having to come up against the Orange and Lime rose it wasn't easy whenever they were all competing for the Arcana Card, but thanks to lots of luck they won the second place prize and beat Orange and Lime Rose. They immediately gave the Arcana Card to the demon lord seal and it fixed itself all the better. There is a girl who has a crush on Kaede and Anise orders him to go on a date with her, so he does. The girl is oddly suspicious and hasn't done anything crazy, yet. She gets Kaede on the ferris wheel with her and forces him to watch as the blood of people are spilled down below. She is definitely a bad person, she probably works for Anise's father. Mitsuki is acting very strange. Apparently he lost his memories and is going to lose himself in his past. He already did an interesting side of a confession to Anise and I am assuming that all of them will do a confession along those lines.
Anise is doing so much better at being the Rose Princess that it is really interesting. She is getting really good at her goals and is keeping the Rose Knights at a respectable distance so nothing happens. I can respect that honestly, but I bet it will happen anyways.

This volume was just okay. I was expecting more since the last three really held my attention.
I'm also ready for more background on our black rose, Mutsuki. He's my second favorite rose and I want to know what's up with his memories. On to Volume 5!

Meh, I'm done with this series. I can't connect with any of the characters, the plot is trite at best, and not even the pretty art can keep me coming back for more. Disappointing.

The rating is mostly because of the fantastic art style.
The plot in this one is a little weird. Suddenly they have to become an idol group. What?

Obsessed with this series.
May 31, 2015
Let’s be honest, the first three volumes of this series is a rough start. We have the barest outline of plot that everytime someone tries to explain something, the heroine brushes them off or blows up the wrong aspect of it. And everytime the plot develops into something interesting, the reader is then treated to wacky hijinx of Anise’s reverse harem until something needs to happen. And while this might work for some people, I’ve been fluctuating in this area of “I don’t know how much I like this?”
(Side note: I just started reviewing manga this year, and I think this is the first time that I’ve realized how much manga I have read just to read based on the promise of something more. I really do want to get back to rereading my old manga volumes and start looking at them with a closer eye, because I think this has been an interesting experience so far.)
I like that we’re getting more of payoff with the idea of the artificial Rose Knights, with the introduction of Rhodecia and a little more insight to what Schwartz’s plans are. (I would like to have some inkling of his motivations plzkthx.) I like that this ends with a hook at least, with Mutsuki’s memories slowly coming back to him and him going after Anise. (Again, kinda guessed it, but interested in how this’ll play out. Also, hopefully this is going to delve into his relationship with Tenjou’s church and especially their history of controlling vamp—excuse me, Dark Stalkers.) And then there’s the ending with Kaede and Mikage and what’s going on there.
And like the last volume, we get this to a backdrop of “Wacky hijinx because the plot demands it” with the Rose Knights (and Anise) entering an idol contest in order to win one of the Arcana cards. I’ll say this about this particular plotline, at least it’s self-aware enough to serve the plot. In the last volume, Anise realizes that it’s weird that a high profile idol contest just has a “Card” listed as one of the prizes, not to mention the whole idea that the Knights just have to do well enough to get second place. (And the reveal that first place is a set-up to promote another idol band, and that the Rose Knights would have gotten second anyway. I did have to laugh at that.) But as with the last volume, there’s more focus on the comedic antics of the group trying to figure out how they’re going to proceed in the contest rankings, rather than gathering intel on the card (I mean, they don’t even know if it is specifically an Arcana card) or their potential enemies. I did like the fight scene between the Knights and Rhodecia, and I liked their explanation as to why they became false Rose Knights in the first place.
I don’t expect this to be grimdark action fantasy all of the time, but there is a point where the comedy overshadows the plot, and I want the characters to find out something about what’s going on, instead of finding out new awkward plot lines for everyone to flail around in until it’s time to fight a false Rose. And every volume has ended with a hook that could go somewhere interesting with the plot, but it never immediately pays off. Seeing as we’re getting to the halfway point of the series, I want something to actually happen and have consequences, not just giving me an emotional scene that ends up just for laughs later on.
Again, I don’t dislike this series, and there’s a lot that I do like about it on the surface. But when I sit down to think about it and to write these reviews, I end up getting more frustrated with the lack of plot development and Shouto’s focus on comedy. I do think I am going to keep reading this, but…look, there’s gotta be a point when something happens, right?

In Summary
The fate of the world depends on… an idol contest? Anise and company have to keep evil from overtaking the world, but you can’t really tell from their attitudes or the opponents they face. Most scenes don’t seem to have much point other than showing off how hot the guys around Anise are. Meanwhile, it remains unclear why Dad/Schwartz is playing the part of Anise’s nemesis in all of this. If all you want are illustrations of a variety of 2-D bishounen, Kiss of the Rose Princess delivers. However, if you want an understandable plot, look elsewhere.
The Review
The events of Volume 3 finally give the Rose Knights something to do that falls into the fate-of-the-world-depends-on-it category. However, their first step to sealing the Demon Lord seems more of an excuse to show off the Rose Knights’ good looks and make Anise cross-dress. Their flippant attitudes toward the idol contest despite its supposedly vital prize makes it difficult to take any of it seriously.
When Rhodecia pop onto the stage and reveal themselves as Roses Lime and Orange, the story looks like it might rev up into battle mode, but the fight devolves into more bishounen strutting and posing. Not surprisingly, big bad daddy Schwartz, who’s strangely absent despite his new school position, is behind the idol pair, and their target is Anise. And like the Yellow Rose, Lime and Orange’s first head on confrontation with the Rose Knights appears to be their last.
Supposedly, Anise has twenty-two more Arcana cards to retrieve, and considering adversaries Lime, Orange, and Yellow have been such a short-lived challenges, I anticipated the process of collecting the remaining cards to be encounters with a rainbow spectrum of bishounen roses. As such, I was surprised to discover their next enemy is female. Although the amusement park setting for their showdown is almost as cheesy as the idol contest, Mikage Hiragi exudes a much more sinister aura than Rhodecia. That plus the Black Rose’s reawakening memories give this arc a much darker tone than the idol contest airhead silliness. Still, Shouoto-sensei has a way to go in balancing the comic and dramatic elements of this series.
Extras include the opening splash illustration and table of contents printed in color; character profiles and story thus far; a mini-manga about the mangaka and her editor; and bonus illustrations.

Re-Read Review (October 8th, 2022):
*Warning, there will be mild spoilers*
As Schwarz's role as an antagonist becomes more fleshed out, Shouoto gives each of her leading men additional page time, hinting at what's to come, or their romantic interest in Anise (though her former romantic interest in Mitsuru is long gone). Rhodecia aren't as cookie-cutter as you'd expect them to be after their introduction. There's this desperation of wanting to prove themselves in order to be considered worthy. I forgot they'll appear again after this volume, which makes me interested about how their role in the plot may expand. Same with Mikage.
The idol contest is the most entertaining part of the volume, although I do like the build-up for this next arc. It's clear from this re-read Shouoto is setting up Kaede as the main love interest despite Anise's insistence that he's too "plain." The moments where that happened in this volume were understandable given their relationship prior to the main plot. However, the reason why I docked a star from my initial rating was partly due to these feelings. While understandable, it can get irritating to see Anise continue to think this way without enough heft to signify them.
First Read Review (November 27th, 2015):
Original Rating: 5 Stars
This series is just getting better and better by each volume. The development of Mutsuki, along with the added conflict of the Fake Rose Knights, it seems to me that we're going to have quite the journey ahead of us.
Also, I think I've finally decided my favorite Rose Knight. And that would be Seiran. :3 He's just so adorable.

~4/5
The group is on the hunt for more Arcana cards, which drags them into a boys’ idol contest. We officially meet two new roses that Anise’s father made during this. Her father is clearly up to no good, and will be the big enemy in this series.
While some of the intense battles end in a humorous diversion, I don’t mind so much. I hope we get some real battles and resolve soon, but I don’t mind the humor. And I like the characters, so I’m okay with it. It doesn’t seem badly done to me.
After that, Kaede gets forced into a date with a classmate, to a carnival, which is clearly not going to end well.
The romance is sure building, though. I’m a full fan of Kaede at this point, particularly for Anise, but also in general. I love Seiran, as well; he’s a sweetheart. But all of the boys are starting to get serious about making Anise choose one of them. Seiran is going to step up, it sounds like. But the attraction between Anise and Mutsuki is cranking up fast. I don’t mind it, but I also don’t think it’s going to work out.
Either way, I’m excited. This volume was fun, and I look forward to the next one.

It's been almost two years since I read the last book and I have almost completely forgotten everything about this series...glad it's pretty simple.
Reverse harem rom-com shenanigans and suddenly we're introduced to two new roses! Orange and Lime...wha? That makes one...two... seven! And counting! To say nothing of the fact that we're almost halfway through this series and only have 1 out of 23 of these arcana cards.
ROMANCE UPDATE
This series has 9 volumes.

I'm still not happy with the pacing of this series, but the characters are proving more and more interesting as time passes. Do I sense a hint of romance? (I mean the real kind, not the kind that a certain pervvy knight has in mind!)
Overall, I'm interested enough to see where this is going. The character of "Daddy!" (sorry, couldn't resist) leaves me puzzled somewhat as he doesn't seem all that fatherly does he? Interesting....
I will definitely keep reading!

November 7, 2015So there are how many demon-seal-shard cards? Twenty-something? and we're working at a rate of about one card per volume? Yeah, we're gonna be here awhile.
It's like there's this fantasy veneer on a high school Harlequin romance series. Every time the plot gets interesting, there's a dance competition or something equally ridiculous. Ack.

There is a good amount of focus on the Black Rose Knight in this volume. I am in love with him, so this is cool. The chasing of the various bits of whatever that doesn't really matter has begun. Wasn't so terrible. Wasn't so Dragonball/Inuyasha/Princess Tutu, yet. Still looking forward to reading more. I am totally invested.

Ya know. Mangas are always seemed to end in suspense..WHY!?!?!??! Ugh. I never liked Mikage. Turns out she's the evil one...=/ Kaede belongs to Anis. Not the Knight to Domian ( Is that how you spell it?=p) way, but the romance way!

I can't deny that I don't care about the idol bit (at all), but I did enjoy everything else. The ending was excellent!

This book inspires me by not giving up especially the ones that you care for. If you don't know then why not at least try it.

In think this is the best volume so far. The rise knights are starting to show their true feelings.
