About: The Royal Tutor is a graphic novel written by Higasa Akai. It was translated by Amanda Haley and lettered by Abigail Blackman. It was published on 5/23/17 by Yen Press, an imprint of Yen Press LLC, paperback, 192 pages. The genres are comics, graphic novel, manga, young adult, and historical fiction. This is volume 1 to the Royal Tutor series and originally published as a digital from Japan.
My Experience: I started reading The Royal Tutor on 6/17/17 and finished it that same day. This is my first time to ever read a graphic novel. Imagine my confusion to figuring out how to read it.. haha.. after a few trial and errors, I finally read it from the back to the front and from the right to the left. It’s an unfamiliar reading style, but I love it. I love the drawings! I love the humor and characters in this book! I now understand why graphic novels are such a hype! This series definitely is a must read!
In this graphic novel, readers will follow the point of view of Heine Wittgenstein as he accepts a position of a live-in royal tutor from the King of Granzreich. Heine is a unique character. He’s naturally gifted and appear like a child even though he’s a grown adult. He is responsible to tutor 4 princes to prepare them for the crown, ranging from 14 to 17 years old. Each of the princes also have their own unique personality and learning capabilities. Prince Leonhard, 15, has a head for sport. Prince Bruno, 16, a genius out of the 4. Prince Licht, 14 is a ladies man. Finally, Prince Kai, 17, mature and gentle but with a glare. So many other royal tutors came and went because the brothers band together to drive them all away. Other tutors are not smart enough to teach Bruno or fast enough to catch Leonhard or patience enough to keep Licht from his distraction with the ladies or calm enough to talk to Kai. The position of a royal tutor looks to be more challenging than Heine had imagined because the princes all refuse Heine as a their tutor and Heine has a vow to achieve his personal goals. Can Heine win their attention or will he run off like all of the previous tutors?
I love reading this graphic novel! I love the individual unique story of each of the princes and the royal tutor Heine. There is so much humor in this book. I have a good laugh at the tutor’s style of riding horses and his explanation for it! I love how the princes grill Heine about his educational background. The drawings are so cool to look at. I love the cover! I am really interested in reading the rest of the series. I highly recommend everyone to read this book! I guarantee you will read it all in one sitting because it’s that good! :-)
Pro: unique characters, cover, humor, drawings, couldn’t put down, fast paced, page turner
Con: none
I rate it 5 stars!

Iseng nyobain ini karena lagi diskonan karena katanya genre komedi~
Gambar oke juga, khas shoujo yang dipenuhi bishie XD
Bedanya, tokoh cewek di sini (yang muncul di vol.1) cuma Ibu Suri dan Putri yang masih balita.
Sisanya 4 pangeran 'tampan' (*tergantung selera XD) dan 1 guru imut-imut, yang sering digambarkan dalam bentuk chibi (>u<)
Dan ceritanya, tipe bego-bego-koplak yang sayangnya kadang-nyambung-kadang-ndak (ke aku ^^;)
Karakter para pangerannya,
Dari cerita mangaka di bagian belakang, ternyata beliau juga terkejut dengan perubahan ini XDD Aku suka pengakuannya (^..^)❤
Satu tokoh menggemaskan: ❤ si guguk peliharaan Pangeran Kedua..
...tapi sepertinya aku cuma nyicip volume 1 ini saja (^///^;)>

A fun, cute manga with pretty flower boys, a no-nonsense tutor (think Sebastian from Black Butler without all the demon baggage) and a hint of something deeper.
Prince Kai is my fav so far. I'm going to go ahead an assume this is NOT meant to be shounen-ai since Heine is an adult (of indeterminate age) and the princes are 14 (Licht), 15 (Leonie), 16 (Brunie) and 17 (Kai). Despite the fact Brunie & Leonie at least act yandere and tsundere towards Heine.
I'll keep on with it because I want to see Heine's secret.

Cute art, interesting characters and a promising storyline. I am sensing my next potential personal favorite.

Disclaimer: I watched the anime first before reading the entire manga series till the current latest chapter. I'm writing this review in general because I'm lazy to write a review for each and every volume.
OK first off, the manga is better. Now hear me out first. I like the anime but manga is better (just my opinion). The story builds up better in the manga and the character developments are done at a better pacing. I learnt much more about the characters in a few panels of the manga than I did in 1 episode of the anime. Heine's "past" is portrayed quite differently in manga compared to the anime. The motivations of the princes are more clear in the manga. Plus their personalities and mentalities mature quite nicely as the story goes on. Other kingdoms and their royalties are introduced in the manga as the plot thickens. I like seeing each prince changing as they slowly discover who they are and what they really want as they meet other royalties. The rivalry between the eldest prince and the 4 other princes are shown better in the manga as multiple sabotages occurred to each of them. Plus there are hints that showed not all of the princes want to become the next king.
If you enjoy the anime series, I highly recommend reading the manga as well.

I haven’t laughed this hard over a manga in a longggg time
January 3, 2018
I was really worried this story was going to be a about a small child being lusted after by a bunch of hot adults, but it is about a tiny adult trying to teach a bunch of teenage princes, who happen to be hot, how to be proper princes and get some book learnin'.
There are five prince is being groomed to be the king some day, just in case, and it is the tutor's job to gain their trust and teach them what they need to know. Each prince has a vastly different personality from the others, which makes the story varied and keeps things interesting.
The small print and all the action going on can sometimes be very hard to follow but it does end up having some flow to it.
I think it is a great first book in a series that is, so far, very cute and worth reading as a change from something heavy.

This was actually way more adorable than I expected it to be.

Lu après avoir vu l'adaptation en anime il y a quelques années (et l'absence d'une seconde saison laissant des mystères encore dans l'air). Je semble me souvenir d'encore plusieurs moments et cetera donc au niveau de la narration pas de surprise, mais j'ai été agréablement émerveillé par le dessin du manga, les décors et la caractérisation des personnages, il y a une grande attention mis sur le dessin ce qui complimente vraiment bien l'atmosphère princier de luxe du château et des environs.
J'ai beaucoup aimé l'idée du scénario derrière la série, dans un pays imaginaire d'inspiration allemande, un jeune tuteur (Heine Wittgenstein) doit enseigner à quatre jeunes princes suppléants tous réfractaires à l'idée d'un nouveau professeur et tous avec des personnalités très distinctes. Les quatre apprendront à aimer le tuteur et auront tous droits à une attention et des leçons différentes de la part de Wittgenstein. Outre les personnalités distinctes qui portent à des moments comiques, beaucoup de la comédie (trop même) porte sur la très petite taille du tuteur qui est aussi grand qu'un enfant. Il y a beaucoup de moment où le tuteur est dessiné de manière chibi, mais une grande partie du temps, il est aussi dessiné très attentivement, de manière extrêmement jolie et élégante (ce qui a pour but de rendre l'effet de contraste d'autant plus comique). Un autre élément que j'avais oublié de la série était les nombreuses références à la nourriture (et toujours élégamment dessinées). La série porte aussi ses moments plus dramatiques et n'hésite pas à montrer beaucoup de moments de tension et de drame (bien que pour le moment, c'est surtout lié à l'univers intérieur des personnages) qui balance la comédie. Il y a aussi une petite tension sous-jacente de boys love/harem entre le tuteur et les princes qui, je pense, ne devrait pas conduire à rien (et je pense que le contrat avec le lectorat est aussi assez clair là-dessus, bien que la tension reste présente).
Je continue à apprécier la série en la relisant, même en l'ayant assez fraîchement en tête (ce qui m'informe surtout que j'avais porté assez attention à l'anime) bien que j'aurais certainement aimé en avoir oublié un peu plus afin de reprendre la série avec un peu plus de surprise narrative.

Jadi ceritanya lagi milih-milih komik on-going yang belum sempat terbaca. Akhirnya memilih komik ini dan seru juga ceritanya :D
Sempat ragu sih awalnya. Cemas kalau komik ini mengarah ke shounen-ai XD *sampai searching di google buat dapat kepastian kalau ini bukan shounen-ai*, tapi sampai akhir tidak menemukan hal yang dikhawatirkan ^^
Ada juga pikiran "Jangan-jangan ini gurunya ternyata cewek lagi *kebanyakan mengkhayal nih XD*", tapi lagi-lagi terpatahkan setelah di halaman akhir diperlihatkan kalau gurunya aseli laki-laki :D
Ceritanya sendiri lucu. Keempat pangerannya jadi berubah gitu sifatnya semakin ke belakang halaman. Pak Guru Heine juga, tidak tahu umurnya berapa, tapi kelakuan seperti anak kecil *menyesuaikan porsi tubuhnya mungkin hahahaha*

Volumes read:
1-3 - 4.8.2024
4/8: I don't want to put in all the volumes separately, as it messes with my statistics :')
But I've really enjoyed this series so far! The premise is cute and I liked all the characters. There are some mysteries to be resolved, and I'm looking forward to reading that.
Now to first find the remainder of the volumes, as I've bought the first three only today..

This was a lot better than I expected, tbh 😅. It was very enjoyable to read. I do give a content warning for suggestive dialogue though.

So cute, and just the right amount of funny. Want to read the next one to see where this goes.

Cute and thoughtful! The princes are real personalities.

Okay so, I literally just started watching the anime, but I really need to catch up because I'm behind. I was super excited to read this manga, and I wasn't at all disappointed! I really, really like the artwork for this manga, it's cute and a little bit decadent at points.
This first volume covers the first 2 episodes of the anime for sure, I haven't watched episode 3 yet but I don't think there's much if any of ep 3 in this volume! The manga actually fills in more than the anime, there's a clearer understanding of scenes and motivations. Some of the anime scenes are missing, like Heine doesn't meet the Princess until later in the manga.
I have to say, Licht is totally my favourite, he's such a cutie but I think he's a lot more intelligent/sly than he lets on. His comments have made me curious about who/what Heine is, even more so than before! Licht is definitely the pretty/playboy Prince.
Kai is my second favourite, he's the Quiet one and bless him, he's so sweet. I totally relate to him as well, I too have resting bitch face problems. Not quite as severe as poor old Kai, but still.
Bruno is the Brainy Prince. He's super intelligent and completely loved Heine and it was hilarious. I wasn't sure I'd like him much at first, but I could understand his behaviour...or you know...arrogance.
Last but not least we have Leonhard. The Athletic one. He's a little bit ridiculous with his running thing, but I can understand why he does it. He hates studying and I can't say I blame him to be honest. I'm intrigued by him because he likes to make it known he doesn't care but he really kinda does.
As for Heine....I'm just so curious about him and his past. I'm intrigued to see how he'll work with the Princes and I need to know what he is!
I really enjoyed the world of the book, it's heavily German influenced or maybe Vienna judging from the translation notes! It's kind of a little bit historical, judging from how everyone dresses, and I can picture the world as if it actually exists/existed. Not hard to imagine it back in the day basically.
The Royal Tutor is an intriguing start to a new series, I found the story amusing, intriguing and kinda cute too! I loved the world and the art work, and I'm so intrigued by each of the princes and their personalities. Licht is clearly hiding something for example. Not to mention I'm curious about the oldest prince we haven't met yet and Heine.....I have so many questions! I'm also intrigued to see where this manga is going to go, and how it's going to develop! Especially after something the King said....

I love the art style n the background of it. This story about the tutor guy who teach the four prince to educate them.The tutor guy name haim if I get the name right, he meet the four prince whom he's meeting but turns out into nightmare. One of the prince name leon hates the teacher even though he doesn't like to study. Tutor haim meet the four prince in individual for interview just to get to know them much. This story so far, it made me laugh 😂 literally between the four prince & the tutor moment. I feel ouran high host school vibe in this manga. Leon childish act kind remind me of tamaki suoh from ouran high host club. The licht guy - the long hair dude - kind remind me of Cheshire cat from are you alice? manga. Someday I will read the volume 2 manga ⭐

This is a weird one, and yet not weird as far as anime goes. The main character is an adult who looks like a child who is assigned the task of being the teacher of 4 sexy-anime-trope princes.
It's pretty much just one anime sexy guy trope joke after another in this book with a couple of "adult looks like a kid" jokes thrown in for good measure. It's mildly amusing for one volume, but it's not my thing and probably wouldn't keep amusing me long term.
If you liked Ouran High School Host Club but thought, "You know, I'd rather it be an entirely male cast and there be even less semblance of plot," judging by this first volume, The Royal Tutor is for you.

This was so cute and hilarious. Honestly the best part is seeing him drawn as a tiny squishy they carry around. That poor tiny man. I do like how each of the princes have different personalities and struggles to explain why they've had issues with previous tutors, and not necessarily like they're snobbish. Though that ending was a cliffhanger.

Diese und viele weitere Rezensionen findet ihr auf meinem Blog :)
Der Manga wurde mir freundlicherweise von Carlsen Manga zur Verfügung gestellt. Meine Meinung wird dadurch nicht beeinflusst.
Klappentext: Professor Heine Wittgenstein ist der neue königliche Lehrer im Reiche Glanzreich. Klein von Gestalt, aber - oho! - mit enorm großer Intelligenz und Wissen ausgestattet, soll er die vier Prinzen des Landes in Anstand und Benehmen unterweisen. Und jeder der vier Prinzen ist eine Herausforderung für sich! Eine große Aufgabe für den kleinen Professor... und ein Riesenspaß für alle Leser.
Das Cover
Das Cover finde ich richtig gelungen. Es wirkt durch die Ornamente, die übrigens Gold schimmern, richtig edel, was super zum Manga passt - da man hier den Alltag einer Königsfamilie miterlebt. Das Cover zeigt Heine Wittgenstein und ist wunderschön gezeichnet. Ich habe nur einen Punkt zu bemängeln, der für mich nicht so richtig in das Gesamtbild des Cover passen will: Die Schriftart und ihre Farbe. Das stört mich aber nur minimal, weshalb ich den Manga im Laden dennoch in Augenschein genommen hätte, da der Zeichenstil super schön ist.
Meine Meinung
Starten wir direkt mit einem kleinen Bonus. Der Manga beginnt mit zwei Farbseiten, eine davon zeigt nur die Kapitelübersicht, die Andere zeigt ein super schönes Bild von den vier Prinzen und Heine Wittgenstein.
Das war's aber noch nicht! In der 1.Auflage bekommen wir eine total niedliche Postkarte dazu, die Wittgenstein mit einem yummy Kuchen zeigt. Ich bin echt ein kleiner Fan des Zeichenstils und der Farbillustrationen, und das obwohl sie sehr bunt sind. Gaaanz toll *.*
Der Manga ist in Japan schon längst bekannt und super erfolgreich. Dort wurde er direkt als Anime umgesetzt und sogar als Theaterstück aufgeführt. Diese Begeisterung finde ich genial und ich kann es nach Band 1 komplett nachvollziehen.
Wir bekommen mit "The Royal Tutor" einen total doof-witzigen Manga.
Ich musste so oft schmunzeln und hab mir direkt zwei Lieblings-Prinzen ins Auge genommen, bei denen ich besonders oft lachen musste - Leonhard und Kai.
Die vier Prinzen sollen von Heine Wittgenstein (allein der Name :D) unterrichtet werden, damit jeder von ihnen auf die Königsrolle vorbereitet ist.
Die Prinzen haben leider so gar keinen Bock auf Unterricht und ihren neuen kleinen Tutor, weshalb sie Heine Wittgenstein direkt sagen was Sache ist und ihm klar machen, dass er direkt verschwinden kann.
Hier beginnt es einfach schon super witzig zu werden, denn der kleine Tutor lässt sich von den Prinzen so gar nicht beeindrucken und knallt ihnen eine trockene Antwort nach der Anderen hin. Die Situationskomik ist einfach riiichtig toll :D und man hat richtig Spaß beim Lesen.
Ich möchte euch nur einmal von Leonhard erzählen, den ich so lustig finde :D
Die anderen Prinzen lasse ich mal im Dunkeln, damit ihr noch ein paar Überraschungen erlebt.
Leonhard ist der 4. Prinz, 15 Jahre alt, und er HASST lernen. Er bekommt totale Panik vor Tests und versucht auf jegliche Art zu entkommen, auch wenn das auf dem Rücken eines Pferdes ist und er über das ganze Anwesen jagen muss - Hauptsache dem Test entkommen.
Er wirkt super kindisch, ist jedoch sehr selbstkritisch, was einem im Laufe des ersten Teils klar wird und man ihn immer mehr ins Herz schließt. Definitiv mein Liebling, gefolgt von Kai.
Der Zeichenstil ist wuuuunderschön und Chibi-Fans kommen hier voll auf ihre Kosten (*.*), da der kleine Wittgenstein sehr oft in ulkiger ChibiForm gezeigt wird 💙💙.
Das macht die Situationen noch einmal viel witziger und passt richtig gut in die Story.
Man merkt beim lesen, wie viel Liebe zum Detail in diesen Manga gesteckt wurde. Die Outfits und viele Hintergründe sind mit einer Menge Details versehen und wirken bombastisch in diesem Manga.
Manchmal habe ich mir richtig gewünscht, dass es sich hierbei nicht "nur" um einen Comedy Manga handelt, sondern "mehr" dahinter steckt.
Das klingt jetzt doof, aber oft wünsche ich mir in tiefgründigen Manga mehr Details und so einen schönen Zeichenstil, wie bei "The Royal Tutor". Wenn ihr versteht, was ich damit meine :D
Damit möchte ich jetzt nicht sagen, dass "The Royal Tutor" keinen Tiefgang hat, denn das hat er dennoch. Jeder der Prinzen hat seine Probleme, Ecken und Kanten und versucht auf seine Art und Weise damit fertig zu werden. Dass das mit ganz viel Humor verpackt wird, zwingt den Leser etwas genauer hinter die Fassade zu blicken.
Gerade das Ende hat mir auch noch ganz viel Hoffnung auf die Fortsetzungen gemacht, da man Heine Wittgenstein in einem ernsten und etwas düsteren Moment erlebt. Ich bin super gespannt, was es genau mit unserem Tutor auf sich hat und welches Päckchen er zu tragen hat - außer seiner kleinen Gestalt :D
Für die Prinzen scheint er jedenfalls die Rettung und Lösung zu sein.
Ich freue mich schon super auf weitere Einblicke und darauf die Prinzen noch besser kennen zu lernen, denn ich denke, da gibt es noch einiges zu entdecken und vorallem - zu lachen.
Fazit
Super witziger Manga, mit vielen Überraschungen, tollem Charakterdesign und wunderschönem Zeichenstil.

Ich habe nur einen Punkt zu bemängeln, der für mich nicht so richtig in das Gesamtbild des Cover passen will: Die Schriftart und ihre Farbe. Das stört mich aber nur minimal, weshalb ich den Manga im Laden dennoch in Augenschein genommen hätte, da der Zeichenstil super schön ist.
Meine Meinung
Starten wir direkt mit einem kleinen Bonus. Der Manga beginnt mit zwei Farbseiten, eine davon zeigt nur die Kapitelübersicht, die Andere zeigt ein super schönes Bild von den vier Prinzen und Heine Wittgenstein.
Das war's aber noch nicht! In der 1.Auflage bekommen wir eine total niedliche Postkarte dazu, die Wittgenstein mit einem yummy Kuchen zeigt. Ich bin echt ein kleiner Fan des Zeichenstils und der Farbillustrationen, und das obwohl sie sehr bunt sind. Gaaanz toll *.*
Der Manga ist in Japan schon längst bekannt und super erfolgreich. Dort wurde er direkt als Anime umgesetzt und sogar als Theaterstück aufgeführt. Diese Begeisterung finde ich genial und ich kann es nach Band 1 komplett nachvollziehen.
Wir bekommen mit "The Royal Tutor" einen total doof-witzigen Manga.
Ich musste so oft schmunzeln und hab mir direkt zwei Lieblings-Prinzen ins Auge genommen, bei denen ich besonders oft lachen musste - Leonhard und Kai.
Die vier Prinzen sollen von Heine Wittgenstein (allein der Name :D) unterrichtet werden, damit jeder von ihnen auf die Königsrolle vorbereitet ist.
Die Prinzen haben leider so gar keinen Bock auf Unterricht und ihren neuen kleinen Tutor, weshalb sie Heine Wittgenstein direkt sagen was Sache ist und ihm klar machen, dass er direkt verschwinden kann.
Hier beginnt es einfach schon super witzig zu werden, denn der kleine Tutor lässt sich von den Prinzen so gar nicht beeindrucken und knallt ihnen eine trockene Antwort nach der Anderen hin. Die Situationskomik ist einfach riiichtig toll :D und man hat richtig Spaß beim Lesen.
Ich möchte euch nur einmal von Leonhard erzählen, den ich so lustig finde :D
Die anderen Prinzen lasse ich mal im Dunkeln, damit ihr noch ein paar Überraschungen erlebt.
Leonhard ist der 4. Prinz, 15 Jahre alt, und er HASST lernen. Er bekommt totale Panik vor Tests und versucht auf jegliche Art zu entkommen, auch wenn das auf dem Rücken eines Pferdes ist und er über das ganze Anwesen jagen muss - Hauptsache dem Test entkommen.
Er wirkt super kindisch, ist jedoch sehr selbstkritisch, was einem im Laufe des ersten Teils klar wird und man ihn immer mehr ins Herz schließt. Definitiv mein Liebling, gefolgt von Kai.
Der Zeichenstil ist wuuuunderschön und Chibi-Fans kommen hier voll auf ihre Kosten (*.*), da der kleine Wittgenstein sehr oft in ulkiger ChibiForm gezeigt wird 💙💙.
Das macht die Situationen noch einmal viel witziger und passt richtig gut in die Story.
Man merkt beim lesen, wie viel Liebe zum Detail in diesen Manga gesteckt wurde. Die Outfits und viele Hintergründe sind mit einer Menge Details versehen und wirken bombastisch in diesem Manga.
Manchmal habe ich mir richtig gewünscht, dass es sich hierbei nicht "nur" um einen Comedy Manga handelt, sondern "mehr" dahinter steckt.
Das klingt jetzt doof, aber oft wünsche ich mir in tiefgründigen Manga mehr Details und so einen schönen Zeichenstil, wie bei "The Royal Tutor". Wenn ihr versteht, was ich damit meine :D
Damit möchte ich jetzt nicht sagen, dass "The Royal Tutor" keinen Tiefgang hat, denn das hat er dennoch. Jeder der Prinzen hat seine Probleme, Ecken und Kanten und versucht auf seine Art und Weise damit fertig zu werden. Dass das mit ganz viel Humor verpackt wird, zwingt den Leser etwas genauer hinter die Fassade zu blicken.
Gerade das Ende hat mir auch noch ganz viel Hoffnung auf die Fortsetzungen gemacht, da man Heine Wittgenstein in einem ernsten und etwas düsteren Moment erlebt. Ich bin super gespannt, was es genau mit unserem Tutor auf sich hat und welches Päckchen er zu tragen hat - außer seiner kleinen Gestalt :D
Für die Prinzen scheint er jedenfalls die Rettung und Lösung zu sein.
Ich freue mich schon super auf weitere Einblicke und darauf die Prinzen noch besser kennen zu lernen, denn ich denke, da gibt es noch einiges zu entdecken und vorallem - zu lachen.
Fazit
Super witziger Manga, mit vielen Überraschungen, tollem Charakterdesign und wunderschönem Zeichenstil.

This is a manga I picked up at my local library. Check out your own. They likely have great stuff. This story is a comedy about a tiny man, Professor Heine, teaching four difficult princes. This first volume is mainly set up.
The professor arrives and meets the princes all at once, discovers that none of them want to be tutored by him, and then sets up interviews to get to know them better. That is the framework of this volume. It's a great framework because it plays to the strengths of this story.
The characters are vivid and detailed, practically life-like. Even before the interviews that focus on each prince, they are distinct individuals. Trust me, it's difficult to set up five characters at the same time, while also introducing the setting and conflict of the story. Naturally, this distinction increases over the course the story.
The traits initially introduced are developed further and further traits are added, complimenting and contrasting the original ones. As a result of Heine's interview with the prince, some conceptions are even turned around, revealing hidden depths. Of all the princes, it is hard to say which makes the most dramatic turn. My vote goes to Prince Bruno.
It is a satisfying story that resolves its initial conflict.
Though I wonder how much tutoring is going to happen in future volumes, the story addresses this as well. Heine states that his purpose as a tutor is not only to teach the princes academic subjects, but other subjects as well. It would appear he is intended to be something of a life coach, because the king considers all four of princes unfit to rule for reasons of their personalities.
The artwork certainly looks good. In fact, I'd call it beautiful. It has this regal feel to it, fitting with its setting and premise, but it is occasionally softer and sillier for more comedic moments.
And that is where my only complaint comes in.
The story has a "Heine is tiny" running gag that I generally find to be lame. Some of them can be funny, such as when guards mistake him as the royal tutor's son, or palace ladies gush on how cute he is and he reacts favorably to the attention while remaining stoic. However, others are not funny.
In fact, they exaggerate his tininess to the point where he seems to actually get even smaller than he already is, rather than just drawn smaller for comedic effect. The most egregious of these is when he rolls off his bed and gets stuck in the tiny space between his bed and the wall. He seriously can't move until a maid checks on him in the morning. That pushes the gag too far.

Probably closer to 3.5/5
A fun read and strong introduction to the series.
Heine, so far, is a pretty easy to like protagonist and his small stature and child-like appearance are simple yet effective ways to have the characters around him instantly underestimate him. A good way of building some dramatic elements and show that Heine has to do more than the average person may need to in order to be taken seriously as an academic.
The introductions of the four princes are also really affective. Akai has done a good job of introducing each brother and their seperate quirks, flaws, and individual strengths which I assume are going to be approached further as the story progresses.
Most of the humour is well approached, using Heine's experiences with the vastly different personalities of the brothers, as well as their interactions with eachother, as the main source of comedy. I also enjoy the fact that the information Heine recieved relating to the boys is purely based on public speculation, forcing him to learn everything about them from scratch by interacting with the four directly. The expectations vs realities displayed in each chapter was really fun.
So far I am particularly fond of Kai and Bruno.
I do take some issue with Licht in particular, however. Though there is nothing particularly wrong with or strange about a teenage boy being "girl crazy", as this is a perfectly normal part of puberty for many people, the way his interest in women is characterised is quite uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this is not a rarity in manga, it does still bother me. So far it has not overstepped into anything extreme, and though I do not necesserily expect it to be addressed properly, it would be significant to see Heine approach Licht's situation with tact.
The art style is charming, I am especially fond of "chibi Heine".

Den Manga hatte ich mir wegen des niedlichen Covers und der schönen Postkarte, die es zur Erstauflage dazu gibt, gekauft. Der Zeichenstil ist wirklich toll - witzig, dynamisch und abwechslungsreich. Sowohl vom Zeichenstil als auch vom Charakter und Humor her, habe ich mich total in einen der Prinzen 'verliebt' – Prinz Kai.
Die Story finde ich sehr einfallsreich und innovativ umgesetzt. Ein Professor, der wie ein Kind aussieht, wird von einer Königsfamilie als Privatlehrer für ihre 4 jüngsten Söhne angeheuert. Schon allein wie er versucht ins Schloss zu kommen, zeigt schon den Humor des Mangas und der gefiel mir unglaublich gut. Sowohl in Text aber vor allem über die Zeichnungen kam der Humor unglaublich gut herüber. Natürlich war es auch sehr albern, aber hier passte es. Die Prinzen waren alles andere als begeistert schon wieder einen Lehrer vorgesetzt zu bekommen. Schließlich hatten sie mit viel Mühe seine Vorgänger vergrault. Natürlich schafft Heine (der Lehrer) es die Prinzen in den Griff zu bekommen, sonst würde es wohl nicht so viele Bände von dieser Reihe geben. Wie er das ganze aber schafft ist sehr originell und für jeden Prinzen eine andere taktik. Das hat mich sehr gut unterhalten. Auch das die Prinzen so unterschiedlich von ihrem Charakter her sind, macht das ganze interessant. Ich bin sehr gespannt wie es in den anderen Bänden weiter geht. Es wird mehrfach angedeutet, dass der Professor ein Geheimnis hat und wohl seine ganz eigenen Ziele verfolgt.

Loved The Royal Tutor so much! I cannot wait for volume 2!
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ♥♥
It's been a while since I've really gotten into another manga series and this one was fantastic!
It centers around a new tutor who finds himself working with starkly differing princes who he has to ensure will be ready to potentially take the throne! They've caused all the previous tutors to quit, but Heine isn't giving up so easily!
I loved how all the princes were so different and unique!~
There is so much comedy/comedic moments I loved that so much~ It was so entertaining.
Over the course of the story, the princes (while despising Heine @ first) begin to warm up to him and he finds himself better understanding each of the princes.
I loved the comedic banter among the princes + with Heine it was so well done!
While Heine is definitely a mystery, there are tidbits of background that we learn about him in the beginning and a little by the end.
As for cons, I did want more background on the world + just a little more depth to the princes + side characters, like the Queen, but I'm sure there will be more background revealed in later volumes!
Both comedic and entertaining, The Royal Tutor had me hooked till the very end!
This manga was so much fun to read and I cannot wait to read Volume 2!

The first volume of the The Royal Tutor by Higasa Akai introduces the new royal tutor Heine Wittgenstein. Heine has been hired by the king to teach his four youngest sons to become better heirs to the throne. But Heine has his work cut out for him--the princes don't want a new tutor.
This manga has an interesting premise. I honestly chose to read it for this and for the artwork on the front cover of the English edition. But it is hard to tell from this first volume whether or not I wish to read on.
The four princes--Kai, Bruno, Leonhard, and Licht--are all interesting and, at times, funny. But nothing yet screams to me "read more about me". I am assuming there may some political intrigue later that might make them more interesting to me. For now, they just seem like normal, squabbling siblings.
Heine, however, has some amazing skills. I am very curious about his background. Even though the point-of-view of the series is from Heine's perspective, you do not get many clues in this volume about his background. And the ending leads the reader to suspect Heine has a lot of secrets.
I would recommend this manga series to any readers who like shounen manga.

This manga's premise is a the story of Heine Wittenstein, a common man who gets hired to be the the royal tutor of Granzreich (a fictional country inspired by 19th century Austria). At first, the princes he has to teach seem uncooperative and unreachable, but soon their backstories and motives are reaveld, leading to the formation of a great friendship with their tutor, who is also not who he seems. All of this, topped with the return of mysterious Crown Prince Eins and his high steward, who seems willing to do anything to put his Prince on the throne, creates a perfect atmosphere for a very fun and lighthearted read (of course with some dark twists and political intrigues)!
I loved this manga, particularly the relationship between the tutor and the princes and the tight-knit bond of these brothers!
If you're looking for a fun manga too read without a lot of angst, then your in for the perfect ride!
Trigger Warning:
-Xenophobia (in 2 or 3 chapters)
-Light violence
-Suicide attempt

4.5/5
Loved it! Lighthearted, lots of comedy, enough mystery/intrigue to keep you interested to read more, but also enough movement in the story to show that it’s fast moving. I was worried the princes would be stand-offish for longer but I’m glad they mostly all came around to Heine the Professor and that that won’t be the whole story.
I am also glad that they all look distinct enough that you can tell them apart and each have unique personalities. Kai is a sweet, mature, quiet type, Bruno is smart and proud of his smarts, Leonhard is a jock and youngest, Licht (whose name means light in German) is the playboy with the rizz.
(Baby Adele isn’t being tutored by Heine but she’s adorable too.)
I am curious to find out more about their professor - why is he so tiny! Why didn’t he go to university? Who is he?! (Tbh I thought it was a female tutor from the cover at first…). And also find out about the heir eldest brother too!
I knocked it down a 1/2 star because the action scenes were a little all over the place for me but it’s a strong start!
