From Taciturnity Scans:

For generations the Kurono family has served the Ohtori family as their First Knight, but 11 other lower knights with ill intentions of using the Ohtori family's authority vie for that title.

As I was reading this manga I was so afraid that it would go from good to bad. Thankfully that did not happen. The the storyline was great and not too long and the art was beautiful. I just wish that the ending could have been better.

I wanted and ending showing Ran in girl clothes together with Ibara rather that the picture at the end with the back shots of Ibara and Ran (who now has long hair and not wearing that black suit) along with Sei and Rei that depicts their future.

It was very thrilling manga with beautiful art and very interesting characters. I would have loved it better if the Managua had drawn her as a a girl at the end, we really only saw how she looked as a guy. The only time we saw her in a dress was when she was a little girl. Overall I highly reccommend this manga to anyone wh enjoys shoujos with a badass female lead who doesnt have a potty mouth or is super rude.
No. Just no. This manga is what you expect of a typical cliched shoujo gender bender manga with some vague "I trust my allies, nothing can go wrong themes." Ran and Sei are too good to be true and pretty one-dimensional characters.
As far as love-interests go, Ibara is your typical good looking, get out of mess and make bigger ones kind of person and Rin seems pretty disposable to me.
Art is great but slightly over the top.

This manga covers a wide range of aspects that create a successful mangaa 
Firstly, Nishikata's artwork fails to displease once again as our heroine this time is bound as a male butler and attends to her female master's needs.
There is that ever now and then humor that just gets you smiling but generally, its a manga thats all cool and butler actions type >.<
The storyline is quite unique and fairly indifferent from other stories so cliches aren't a constant.
its an AMAZZZIIIINNNGGGGGG MANGAAAAAAA

I must agree that there is not a lot of character depth, but I liked how Sei and Ran gathered allies over the 5 volumes. For satisfying my graving for gender-bender and some action this was quite alright. Ran and Sei appear very even-tempered but for graver situations, and their feelings don't come over very well.
I give this a 10 because I started to read it without any expectations and thus could enjoy this story together with some of my favourite music.

Hana no Kishi had potential and the thing i hate the most is when a great manga finishes in it's most crucial moments, it seems the mangaka had some urgent things to do because obviously the ending was so rush, I didn't even see it coming. 
but it was great while it lasted.

Like everyone else I didn't really like the ending. I felt the ending was rush, the manga from the beginning had great potential but somehow lost it towards the end. Maybe a little more about how everything came together and then ending it would of been a good way to put an end to a good series, but it's just me.
Hmm...I like the story. Although there are some parts that are cliched, the plot is still great. You can see the growth of the characters and they will give you a very deep impression. At least that is how it is for me. The only thing I don't like is the ending. It is very abrupt. Like the author got bored with her work and just decided to end it. Yep! you read that right. This manga is finished. 
Is it wrong of me to want Sei with Ibara, her rightful fiance? I just can't grasp how down to earth and open hearted Sei is. She's actually happy that Ibara and Ran are developing feelings. She doesn't look hurt from her expressions either. Both Sei and Ran are lucky to have each other (girl bonding!!).

I have to say that the set-up is pretty good. It's interesting and hooked me because of how the series is currently going with the introduction of its characters.
Right now the manga is up to chapter 8 and I'm kinda frustrated with the relationship status of
I guess I'll just have to wait and see
UPDATE: I really didn't like the ending. I felt that the manga could have done more to make it more memorable...well at least for me.

Ran and Ibara. If this manga continues with normal shoujo mangas, then those two will get together in the end. I understand that Ran has gone through so much and she deserves a great guy like Ibara. But I'd rather see Sei and Ibara get together, however that's most likely not possible. It's probably because I'm more of a fan of Sei than Ran. I'm sure that they will probably bring in another character that will compliment Sei's characteristics.
