Review for the complete series



Miyako is writing her master thesis on Princess Ritsuko - a Japanese girl who married into the Estorian royal family. As it happens, Ritsuko's grandson Prince Wilfred has come to Japan to study abroad. Miyako has her mind set on getting an interview with him to complete her thesis, but Prince Will shows her a different face than the one he wears in public.

In a broad sense, this is your typical royalty falls in love with commoner story, including the fact that Miyako is one of the very few characters who isn't interested in Will being a prince - well, beyond that fact that she wants information of him. The main aspect that's probably different from most of its kind is the fact that Will is said to be a bit of a pervert. To be honest, beyond the fact that he likes large breasts - which is also what made him notice Miyako initially - I wouldn't say there's anything perverted about him. It does make for a more comedic start to this series, though.

Private Prince became much stronger with the later volumes. While the first volumes were more on the comedy side of things and thus quite fun, I struggled to connect to the characters. Miyako is obsessed with her thesis and pretty dense about a lot of other things - Will was definitely the more interesting of the two. Once both had gotten over their pride and admitted their feelings for each other, the plot became more serious and I appreciated how the characters handled all the obstacles thrown in their way.

Rather than being all lovey-dovey, both had their share of doubts and had to give some serious thought in regards to their future. Miyako wanted to continue her studies and felt like this was not possible if she were to remain in a relationship with Will, and of course, he had a lot of things to consider given his title and all. I felt like their relationship developed well and all their worries and solutions were both mature and realistically done. I also started to appreciate Miyako's character a lot more once she wasn't in such denial about her feelings. While I still prefer Will as a character, she did show a lot of backbone in regards to her studies and research.

Private Prince also has a great supporting cast. Miyako's friend Chiri is easily at the top of my list, she makes such a great and supportive friend, has a fleshed-out personality and is an actual functioning part of the plot. For better or for worse, I also liked how Miyako's mother was written. She is far from a pleasant person but she does also show that she loves her daughter and she added some more depth to Miyako's side of the story.

Originally, I only read Private Prince because I enjoyed other of Enjouji's works. It is still not my favourite of hers, but it's a fun story, especially if you enjoy romances with royalty and don't mind Will's quirks about large breasts which seems to be a running joke throughout the series.

(stejná recenze u každého dílu)
Pěkná a roztomilá kresba. Musím kresbu opravdu vynachválit, protože byla opravdu úžasná, jelikož i u sourozenců, kteří normálně vypadají velmi podobně, byly detaily obličejů tak dobře nakresleny, že od sebe byli odlišní a přesto si zachovali podobnost. Vím, že to nedává smysl. :D Líp to vysvětlit nedokážu.
Vážně by mě zajímalo, co bylo s tou celou královskou rodinou. Každý člen byl zvláštní a úplně v jiném směru. To mi ale zas tak nevadilo, protože to bylo poměrně vtipné.
Princ Will a miss Melouny tvořili hrozně roztomiloučký pár. I když se mi nelíbilo, jakým způsobem dostal Will poprvé Miyako do postele. Za to jsem na něj byla opravdu naštvaná a Miyako jsem litovala.
Obálky vypadají pěkně, akorát by na nich nemuselo být tolik světlých prvků, které pak splývají s pozadím, kde se nachází nadpis.

As this story goes on I find myself disliking Will and Miyako more and more. They’re both very selfish, and I know that many say that “love makes people stupid” and that may be a bit true, but real love is not selfish. As the chapters go on Will and Miyako’s relationship just seems like lust to me, especially in Will’s case and I really dislike that, especially since he’s supposed to be a Christian, which is only mentioned in passing and not explored. He never shows any remorse for his lack of respect for Miyako’s boundaries, in fact he’s very prideful about it and that’s just a huge roadblock to me liking this couple.

Review (for the whole manga):
Didn't really enjoy this manga series. Too cliche, perhaps. Just liked the art. As usual for this mangaka, there are some explicit scenes (nudity / 18sx) in this series as well.

Series Review: This manga is a very cute and funny series that makes a quick and light read. The plot is not very original and often cliche but entertaining none the less. The characters are likable and often humorous. I recommend this manga for older readers as it has mature moments and those looking for a light read.

The first chapter is funny. The Royal family has a personal products maker XD

There's the impending problem in Will & Miyako's relationship: the difference of their status. Moreover, Makoto confesses his feelings.
