Description
From Aerandria Scans:
In this grim and realistic take on classic fairy tales, Prince Ludwig, a female corpse collector, is ordered by his father to find himself a wife more suitable than the women he often brings into the castle. Along with his servant Wilhelm, they travel across the land in search of fair maidens from classic stories in hopes of finding Ludwig a wife.

the artwork is gorgeous, the gothic ambiance suit the setting of the story. the characters are interesting and believable in their maniacal-ness. the twist presented is somehow in line with the original fairytale before the grimmification. the ending is somewhat non-closure but it suit this series as the 'plot' itself is not as important and as interesting as each individual story. a must read for all dark humour fan.

Not a typical shoujo to begin with. Very hilarious, so many twists in the plot. Good art. Kaori sensei is really a great mangaka. I'm not really fond of horror and gothic manga but this is one exception.

At first, the story was dark (the snow white chapter) and the prince's character creep me out
Spoiler (highlight to view)
collecting corpses and the later he killed the snow white ?
I really thought it gonna be a dark fairy tales manga. But as the manga progressed, the story went lighter. It also had some comedy scenes too. Overall, I enjoy reading this. What a lovely variation of fairy tale stories!

I, for one, am a sucker for fairy tales.
Ludwig Kakumei is fantastic for anyone who loves fairy tales (and doesn't mind watching their favorite princesses die). The characters are great spin-offs from their Brothers Grimm counterparts. There's an equal balance of humor and tragedy. It's just great. Also, don't let the early chapters of Ludwig Kakumei fool you; it's not just about a guy collecting corpses (in fact, he gets over this habit fairly quickly).
Overall, great, fairy tale-based manga. I'm very glad I decided to pick it up.

I had a looot of doubts when I first decided to read this. I've never ventured into these kind of dark genres but I was bored and everyone gave it wonderful reviews so I knew I should just give it a try. And boy, am I glad I did. I don't think I can ever see these fairy tales the same as I have before. The sadistic Prince Lui is just great; he's hilarious. Actually, every characters in this story gave me quite a laugh. Ludwig is probably one of my most awesome-est male lead EVER, with his obsession with corpses and big breasts.

Although I was sorta-kinda-in a way- disappointed at the end because he didn't end up with anyone.. However, the ending was really fitting so I suppose it was okay.


I really like this series & would recommend it to anyone who's trying to find a dark and twisted comedy. It's really great smile

I really like the drawing and the stories are so funny. It's crazy how the mangaka made the original story, twisted x.x. My most favorite princess was sleeping beauty in chapter three. That's the only princess he truly liked but too bad she passed away from sleeping for 100 years :< I didn't really like it that much ><

Man dis manga was crakup, original and i loved the twists. Art was also really good and story was damn interesting. The only problem i had is ludwig never finding love in his life. When he does, sadly she dies. So he can only find his true love after he dies. Really defeats one of the key purposes of da manga which was to find a bride and perhaps love. That is the only downpoint for me regarding dis one.

wow for some reason i hated this the first time i was lookin at it
however i decided to give it another go

and WOW

i loved it, some of the stories are twisted with ingenious twists on the original tales, and some of the stories are just plain heart warming ><
And is ludwig ever hot!!!
k but you dot have to be a female to love this because the story and the art is perfect (it was actually my hate for ludwig that made me drop this, but after the 2nd chapter+ ludwig's character really drew me in)
if you know some of the actual bro grimm's tales and the disney versions you will absolutely love this

the only reason im gave it a 9.1 was cuz the last chapter was like
WTF confused (to those that have read it you should understand the confusion of how the story went from
horror to shoujo >insert cheesiness<)
they should have just stopped with the 2nd last chap and it would have been epic

but even the last chappy was good
therefore you must read this

man, man....

this manga is hilarious... the art is perfect, and the characters are quite extraordinary : a protagonist that looks like a visual kei, a red riding hood that kill, a witch that loves cosplay and an insane snow white. and where again would you find a protagonist that sly, smart, mean, cruel, pervert, lazy and necrophiliac if it's not in yuki kaori's manga? a very well work of picturing dark side of humanity.
and the way she mixed and matched, and ruined the brothers grimm classic tale into a perfect combination that will deconstruct your mind of pure and kind princesses.. it's smart and brilliant...! the dark comedy's part is top of the top.

Spoiler (highlight to view)
the ending is quite a mess with so many previous characters came up, but it's sure a very entertaining way to end this series (the ending was come too fast though, i want more :'( ...


ok, have a good read... wish it would be a nice good-nite tale wink
