Chapters 1~5
Your typical 'princess' and prince charming. He seduced her with a big library, and that was almost enough to seduce me. Unfortunately, it's nothing special, rather very generic.

學了新單字：Bibliophile（書痴）
算是王道的展開，但開頭的誤會花了四回才解決，
不知道追連載的讀者會不會覺得節奏有點長（？）

The angst this manga has it's just 'wow'. I'm still mad at everyone but I can see this becoming an amazing story. Really, I need more angst! Eli cannot forgive everyone just like that!
P.S. She did forgive everyone just like that.

I don't know what has taken me so long to read this. The title alone screams that I would like it. And the art is lovely.

This wasn't very good. It is very generic and annoying. All of the problems in this volume could have been fixed if the main character opened her mouth and talked.

VIDEO REVIEW HERE: https://youtu.be/N5sjHe8B5Jk
I AM SQUEALING!!!
I'm also like WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS?!!
This has been on my TBR for YEARS and I finally started to read it simply because there was an upcoming Top 5 Wednesday prompt and I was considering featuring this book, but GAH!
I LOVED IT SO MUCH!
I would quickly say there is nothing "ground-breaking" or "new under the sun" with this story, but I deeply love it for what it is! There is drama that unfolds that had me gasping, to deep anger, to sadness, and then shock, all within at least half the volume! LOL!
Truly, I LOVED Eli and her family because seeing a family of book nerds was absolutely the best part of this volume! It's fun seeing their bookish love unfold and how it plays a role in Eli's everyday life, and even her engagement! It was also cool seeing how her love of books has changed the lives of those around her even though it wouldn't seem like it necessarily would.
I really liked Chris! Though I won't deny that I got SUPER upset with him when it came to a new character on the scene about halfway. I felt frustrated because I'm like how blind are you to not catch up on what this person is doing?! However, the ending had such an amazing payoff, and was SO relieved because he's such a gentleman! Plus, him realizing gifting books is the best gift to give Eli had me sold! LOL! I also liked how he sort of "bribed" her into marrying him, even if that sounds wrong to say. LOL! It's just how many princes would be like, "If you marry me, I'll let you have all the interrupted reading time you want. Plus as my fiancee, you can check out the royal archives as much as you want!" I AM SOLD PRINCE CHRIS!! LOL!
I also like the variety of characters and how each one has different quirks. When things started unfolding where they treated Eli differently, I definitely caught myself getting upset because they were SO kind to her in the beginning. This led of course to me wondering what in the world is going on and if they are going to continually treat her like that (because she deserves to be treated SO much better!!). However, that ending made everything come to light and honestly was SO relieved. I think it's been a while since I was SO upset with characters only for it to lead to HUGE relief that everyone hasn't changed.
The art of course is what first led me to want to read this story and it is breathtaking! I loved how the artist really brought out Eli's emotional expressions, especially considering that the artist said it was a lot harder to gauge what Eli was thinking/feeling in the light novel.
Overall, I'm head over heels for this first volume! I hope it continues to go on the up and up because I will be heartbroken if it doesn't! LOL!
I definitely would recommend it if you're looking for a "simple," down-to-earth story with a girl who loves to read and a prince who seems to love said girl, but who doesn't quite realize it (at least yet hopefully!). Very great first volume!

3.5 rounded up because I really like the art. This is a very well-done adaptation that manages to retain the feel of the original novels while making small changes to ensure that it functions as a manga.

Such a cute and fluffy manga about a lady who only cares about books and a prince who wants nothing but her.
can't wait to see her grow and develop as she navigates the palace and gets out of her comfort zone.

Awww super adorable!! A princess who loves books - literally me😌💅🏻✨💕

She’s drawn a little young looking, but cute story. On to the next! 4 stars.

That was so cute🥹👸🏼📖

J'hésite entre 3 et 4, parce que le principe est très chouette, le dessin très beau, mais Elianna est tellement passive... Une princesse qui préfère lire et se retrouve malgré elle dans une intrigue politique, j'aimais le topo. De beaux garçons, des livres, une princesse douce, du shojo comme on aime. Mais j'espère pour elle qu'elle va se bouger un peu les fesses, elle ne fait quasi rien pendant ce tome, ce qui rend la fin un peu étrange où tout le monde semble l'adorer, elle-même ne l'ayant jamais vraiment remarqué. Bon. Pas sûre de lire la suite, sauf si on m'assure que ça va mieux après !

Empieza el tomo algo flojo y confuso, pero conforme avanza la historia mejora mucho. Es una manga que me ha despertado emociones y con un dibujo precioso ❤️

I loved this story so much. It's great how the characters develop in not so long amount of time, we could say it's quick, but it doesn't feel forcible. I love Eli so much, she is cute, sweet, inocent and such a bookworm in a literal way, but I love her because of that. And the love that she has for books is what makes her be who she is and what gives her value. I sobbed so much during chapter 2 and 3, I felt her pain so much. I just love this manga is so romantic and cute. Great shoujo.

Eine zuckersüße Geschichte über die Liebe zu Büchern, die erste große Liebe und Intrigen bei Hofe.

This was cute and the art style was really pretty. Reminded me a bit of Arina’s style
February 13, 2023
Okay, das Ende hat mich echt überrascht. xD Dachte das geht in ne Richtung die ich nicht mag, aber ich fand’s klasse! Werde auf jeden Fall weiterlesen. :)

I am obsessed. I loved it so much. I got invested way faster than I expected to. Eli is such a fun main character and honestly so relatable as a reader. I need more asap!!
November 15, 2025
Love the art style. Super cute. Kinda funny.
Now that she knows she likes the prince and he isn't trying to get rid of her, I'm interested in where this story will go.

No me lo esperaba tan interesante. Quiero leer ya el segundo tomo
May 21, 2022
Elianas Leben besteht aus Büchern, Büchern und Büchern. Eines Tages bietet der Prinz Eliana den Zugang zur königlichen Bibliothek an. Die einzige Bedingung ist, dass die Beiden sich verloben. Eliana kann ihren Ohren kaum glauben und willigt ein. Obwohl sie denkt, dass die Verlobung irgendwann aufgelöst wird, so hat sie niemals an die Möglichkeit gedacht, dass sie wirklich Gefühle für den Prinzen entwickeln könnten. Wie gut, dass eine Mitbuhlerin ihr die Augen öffnet.
Das Cover ist unfassbar schön und ist ein wahrer Eyecatcher. Die erste Seite ist bunt und einfach nur ein Traum. Zudem ist eine kleine Karte dabei, die ebenfalls wunderschön gestaltet ist. Der Zeichenstil ist verträumt und verspielt, genau wie es Eliana ist. Vor allem ist der Zeichenstil sehr detailliert. Besonders die Charaktere werden gut in Szene gesetzt.
Eliana ist eine verträumte junge Frau, die am liebsten den ganzen lieben Tag lesen möchte. Sie kann sich eine Welt ohne Bücher nicht vorstellen. Sie zieht sich zurück und ist eher eine Eigenbrötlerin. Obwohl sie eher schüchtern wirkt, kennt sie fast jeder. Sie begegnet den Menschen stets mit Freundlichkeit und macht keinen Unterschied bei den einzelnen Gesellschaftsständen. Der Prinz gibt sich auf der einen Seite nahbar und auf der anderen Seite unnahbar. Es wirkt als wenn er sich seiner Gefühle nicht sicher wäre.
Die Geschichte gefällt mir sehr gut. Ich finde sie leicht, witzig und unglaublich ruhig. Es ist total angenehm Elianas Geschichte zu folgen. Sie ist mir unglaublich sympathisch und ich kann mich ihn ihr total wiederfinden. Ich kenne Tage, an denen ich mich am liebsten auch mit einem Buch zurückziehe. Es ist zwar nicht so extrem wie bei ihr. Aber ich kann mich in Zügen von ihr wiederfinden. Vor allem finde ich die Geschichte zwischen Eliana und dem Prinzen süß. Die Beiden kommen sich auf eine Art und Weise näher, die sie selbst noch nicht ganz verstehen. Ich glaube, dass man noch viele witzige Geschichten zwischen den Beiden erleben kann. Daher freue ich mich auch schon auf den zweiten Band.

Cute but not my favorite. The art is fantastic but the story was just a bit lacking for me. Nevertheless, this was still a fun read!

友人(KK)と本屋をぶらぶらしている時に「この本の主人公、私達みたいに超本好きなんだけど...売りポイントはそれだけ。凄くつまらないよ」と言われたので、試しに読んでみた。
友人の言う通り、主人公は無類の本好きで、無条件で博識で可愛くて皆に愛されていて、「悪役」は簡単に見分けがついてあっさり成敗されて...読んでいてどうなるんだろう、というワクワク感がゼロ。
「なろう系」「ラノベ」にありがちな、主人公が全く努力せずに初めから全てを手に入れいて、葛藤もなにもない（一応形だけの不穏な空気が醸し出されるシーンもあるけど、全て上手くいく）ので、読んでいてひたすらつまらない。
勿論、自分がなるならこういうキャラの方が良いだろうとは思う。けど、物語としては、ただただ予定調和でつまらない。
そして、正直、ひたすら大人しい（けど一応「頭の良い事」は考えてる）主人公にイラついてしまった。
もっと発言する、行動的なキャラの方が読んでいて楽しい。主人公が存在する意味がない気がする。（だからこそ、自分を当てはめて読めるから人気なのか？？？）
４巻まで読んだが、それぞれの感想をGRに入れるのが面倒なので、記録として１巻だけ。
ひたすらつまらないのに４巻まで読めたのは、絵がそこそこ綺麗だから。
けれど、特に特徴のある絵でもないし、正直人物の描き分けもできてないので、このシリーズはDNF。
ちょっと時間の無駄だったかな。（☆１つにしようか悩み中）

Muy contenta de haberme pasado al manga. Eliana y Christopher me encantan, y estoy tan feliz de que esta historia halla llegado a mis manos...
Me veo reflejada en Eliana y el amor que le tiene a los libros, por lo que su historia me ha conquistado desde el principio y estoy deseando continuarla.
El dibujo me parece precioso 💙

A bit of a twist on the standard villainess plots - not executed the smoothest way, but it wasn’t bad. As a book lover myself, I appreciate the underlying message that reading books excessively can actually be quite useful.
May 23, 2023
ya está...... ya tengo una nueva obsesión. Me encanta la historia pero es que encima el dibujo es PRECIOSO. El único problema es que la serie está abierta y en España solo han editado los dos primeros TODAVÍA.

Pero que preciosidad de manga!! ❤❤
La trama es muy buena y el arte es simplemente hermoso. Muy buen primer tomo para introducir la historia 🥰🥰
