I sort of have to laugh because I picked up this first volume on a sale because I thought the cover was super cute and also thought it had an interesting premise.
However, what's funny about that is that I thought the main guy was a VAMPIRE, not a DEMON!
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'm not a huge vampire fan, but I was disappointed that our main guy was indeed not a vampire. Nonetheless, this was a really cute story!
I really liked how Sakura was different after chapter one and wasn't fully what he seemed to be. I thought it made him more compelling as a hero and really enjoyed the brief flashbacks we get of him and how that effects him in the present
Hana was SUPER cute! I think the mangaka did a fantastic job of weaving in some mystery with her character because I am very curious if she is who I think she is.
Combine both our hero and heroine together and they made SUCH an adorable "couple"! I loved the small bit of romance in there and deeply enjoyed the reverse gender roles! So so so cute!
Overall, this was a cute read! I don't think I'll continue the series, but I did really enjoy what I read in this first volume!

Mengecewakan.
Ah, lebih tepatnya ga sesuai ekspektasi saya. Soalnya info singkat yang kudapat tentang komik ini: Square Enix. Shonen. Iblis. Jadi yang kuharapkan adalah sesuatu yang dark, mencengkam, berdarah-darah, dan... penuh kegilaan.
Dan sedikit bumbubromance tentunya
Tapi yang kudapat malah seperti ini
Dan yang membuatku tambah kecewa:
1. Cerita maupun gambar lebih berasa shojo-nya daripada shonen. Manis sih, tapi tetep aja.....
2. Hubungan antara hero dan heroine-nya terasa kurang nendang.
3. Sifat si hero yang terlalu... polos dan 'bersih' untuk ukuran pangeran iblis.

Hadiah dari lomba ngisi balon dialog SDS - Elex ♪ヽ(^^ヽ)♪ Thank you!!
Gambar : 3 bintang...lumayan lucu dan manis, walau belum semanis kovernya (^ ^)
Cerita : 2.5 bintang...aku gagal menangkap "pelajaran kimia" di antara Jiro x Hana.., atau mungkin bel pelajaran belum berbunyi?
Tapi dari percakapannya kayak udah mulai, hanya aku gagal tertarik... ""( >..<)
Bingungnya, dulu juga kayak pernah pengalaman kayak gini dan di volume-2 selanjutnya jadi suka...
Nah, ini mau "kita temenan aja" atau "dijalanin aja dulu" ya? 、ヽ(ノ＞＜)ノ ｀、ヽ｀ #galaukayakbiasanya

Kurenai Ouji follows the demon prince to the human world, where he meets and moves in with a human named Hana and her grandmother.
DNF - Abandoned at Vol. 2, Ch. 5
This story feels like a simplistic rendition of other similar shoujo manga and reads like it was intended for a particularly young audience. I really wanted to like it, but the story lacks complexity and the pacing feels disconnected. There's a lot of lingering on daily interactions, while also jumping from one scene to the next without any real character or plot development, like the author wasn't entirely sure how to move the main plot along and just stuck a bunch of ideas together. Overall, it feels like a rough draft rather than a completed work. It's a cute idea, but I got bored quickly.

3.5 ⭐️
Première expérience de manga pour moi. À ma grande surprise, je me suis habituée assez rapidement à la lecture « à l’envers » typique de ce genre.
J’ai bien aimé l’histoire. Je n’ai toutefois pas compris pourquoi, en plein milieu du livre, une toute autre histoire (avec les mêmes personnages) prend place. C’était tout de même une belle première expérience!

A fun opening volume that sees a demon prince visit the human world with a mission to steal someone's soul, but things take a turn for the adorable instead. I suspect there are twists ahead.

This is a seriously adorable manga that's had the misfortune of not being licensed in English yet! There are many shoujo mangas out there that have the theme of a demon and a human girl falling in love even though it is forbidden. This manga is sort of like that, but it stands out above all of those other titles. Amazingly adorable artwork? Check. Strong, loveable heroine and a surprisingly bashful Demon Prince who is more human than he is demon? Check! Heartwarming tale of sweet, young love? Check check CHECK! This manga should be classified as a shoujo, but because it is published in a shounen magazine it is considered otherwise. Nonetheless, it's a heartwarming read that will leave your melting heart just yearning for more! To my knowledge it is currently licensed in Japan and France. If we can get enough fanfare from it we can hope that it can get published here in the US(:
Recommended for everyone, really. If you love Akuma to Dolce or Hana to Akuma, then this series is highly recommended for you!

I've been resisting the e-book manga releases, mostly because I prefer hard copies. But I have a commute after dark and patchy lighting on the bus, so sometimes reading on my phone is my only option...and it's a good thing, too, because otherwise I wouldn't have read this book. A charming combination of romance and fantasy, there's just something heartwarming about the blooming relationship between the devil prince protagonist and the human heroine. I may try to find the French editions just so I can own a physical copy, but I'm also very much hoping that Yen Press decides/is able to give this a print release, because it really was a great read.

A Shojo Story through and through.
Coming from Yen Press a Shojo Story is a welcome change of pace. A seemingly classic love story between a demon prince who has been ostracized for his intelligence and charisma, and a human girl, who has been through some pretty ruff stuff. Come on a journey where a demon tries to put new feelings that are arising within him into perspective, while also meeting a girl who has changed his beliefs on humans and their fragile nature.

Her sayfasını okumaktan zevk aldığım tatlı mı tatlı bir manga. Cehennemin Prensi Sakura Koujirou görev için Dünya'ya gidip bir insanın ruhunu almak zorunda. Hana o kadar tatlı ve yardımsever bir kız ki Sakura onun çekimine kapılmadan edemiyor. Tabii ki görevini unutmuş değil. Ama onu kral yapacak gücünün arkasında bambaşka olaylar var ve onu bir sürü sürpriz bekliyor.

Angels and Demons, I really liked it. I have read 8 volumes now and the best thing just happened and I love it.

Cute
This was a very cute first volume to a funny and lighthearted manga. I definitely will be getting the next volume and think that this story has a lot of potential.
