The one thing I'll probably take away from this series is, "A person's education is a priceless asset that will pave the way for their future."
Also in the next book, we finally get to see who will be named the successor. I'm thinking either Kai or Bruno or Eins. I just don't think Leonie and Licht are old enough or mature enough. If anything it's going to be Kai.

This was a lot of development but it did help understand Eins and Ern. Ern is still ever the schemer but it's good to see the truth behind them and in a believable way, not some out of the blue redemption arc.

4.5/5
FINALLLLY we get all the answers that have been drawn out for so long. And not only do we get all four princes together but all four princes coming together to rescue their eldest brother by stopping him from taking his own life.
The story about his love for Matilda was bittersweet - I hope he finds her and they get back together in the final volume.
I have no idea which of the princes will be chosen to be king - my hopes are on Leonie since he’s worked hardest.
I thought this was a great volume but wish we’d known more of these details (or even little hints) sooner I think I would’ve enjoyed the earlier volumes more.
I almost gave it a 5/5 but I thought Kai punching Eins because he didn’t agree with his assessment of himself was a bit much… and it slowed down a little in the final chapter (but that just might’ve been me being tired when I was reading it. I did like seeing how each of the princes has grown).
Really wish the quality would’ve been this good all throughout, it would’ve been a candidate for my favourite manga series if so (I will miss the characters once it’s done though)!

In Summary
Count Rosenberg has a change of heart about Heine and his princely pupils–just in time to call on their help when Eins disappears. Drama runs high, complete with a race against time, the breaking down of doors, and a scuffle over a deadly weapon. However, once the danger is over and the truth about Eins comes out, it’s a bit of a letdown. At any rate, harmony is restored to the family, and you’ll never look at the eldest prince the same again. That leaves just the teeny issue of succession, and now that Eins’ fatal flaw has been revealed, I’m curious to see how the king will decide.
The Review
After volumes and volumes of playing the bad guy and interfering with the younger princes, Count Rosenberg finally views them as Eins’ concerned kin, not enemies for the throne. However, no sooner have the princelings and their tutor gained Rosenberg’s trust than they discover Eins has fled town – taking a firearm with him.
A suicidal Eins is unimaginable for the princelings, understandably so. However, Rosenberg’s uncharacteristic panic at his disappearance sends the foursome and their tutor rushing to the countryside in search of the eldest prince. Akai-sensei does an excellent job keeping the tension high for the dramatic rescue – then everything kind of deflates when we discover the truth behind the dark prince’s brooding behavior.
On one hand, it’s understandable. On the other hand, it’s kind of ridiculous. Especially after delving into the 14-page flashback about the woman who left Eins not only heartbroken but socially incapacitated. At any rate, the meaning behind the king’s cryptic assertion that Eins is unfit to be king is made clear as are the reasons behind Eins’ past actions. His brothers, of course, refuse to leave him in such despair, and in true Royal Tutor fashion, each offers his own personal bit of encouragement or problem-solving to uplift Eins and restore him into their brotherly circle.
Thus, the arc ends on a happy note. Where once there were four princes making a lively racket in the palace, now there are five. And a sort of nicer Count Rosenberg is hanging around, too.
With so many long-standing conflicts getting resolved, the series is clearly coming to a close. Volume 16’s last chapter launches what looks to be the final arc. After pondering how his younger sons have blossomed under Heine and learning the truth behind Eins’ canceled marriage engagements, the king decides it’s time to decide the successor.
Extras include bonus manga and illustrations and the first page printed in color.

"...measuring up to every expectation of those around you and your own notions of an ideal self is a feat not a single soul in this world would be able to achieve...we are all imperfect, so long as we are human beings."
The reason behind Prince Eins's mysterious isolation is finally revealed and it was shocking and not what I expected. A heavy-hearted conversation ensues that ends on an even brighter hope future for these brothers no matter who ends up being chosen as king. Lots of funny and jovial moments throughout this volume all ending with a heartwarming chapter following the king of Granzreich as he goes about his day. Sad that there's now only one volume left. I have been loving this series so much!

Finally settles the question of what is going on with Eins. The resolution is pretty satisfying, and it makes a certain amount of sense here. It looks like the next volume will be the last, and it feels timely.

Really cute and momentumy and I am excited to see where this goes. The utter refusal to be dark and grim is actually nice.
