What can you say, it's shoujo. I really did like the plot development, and the romantic development was fine, I suppose. Cliches were obvious, but it didn't bother me that much. Once again, the female lead is weak and lacking, but she was somewhat cool at some points. The male lead is "cool", just like every other male lead. It's not particularly special or outstanding in its genre, but it's cute, and I like the world it's set in. Therefore, 6/10.

I think the story started out kind of slow and a bit shallow--like not much depth in the characters or the plot, but the manga improves with every chapter. You really get to learn about the characters and the overarching story.

A decent story with a kinda cliched romance on an original setting, for some reason it felt very similar to shirayuki hime at times.
In any case, it's a fun light read, the comedy is not bad and the chars are decent, even if the main male lead is too perfect/idolized and the main female lead is childish.

Yes, I normally hate shoujo, I'm a guy and I can count with the fingers of one of my hands how many I really like, but this one is so cute that I can't stop saying how cute this damn manga is... cute.

The main female character starts being a little bit annoying but after a couple of chapters you start to notice things aren't as they seem to be, she is just the master of all Tsundere, but it does not feel forced or anything, she really does not know how to cope up with the situation and forces her way out clumsily... just to come back again, and the story telling lets you notice it and understand it.

If all Tsundere in history and that will come had to be represented with a character, the one on this manga should be the profile picture.

As I said, totally shoujo, but I like the genre so I liked this. And it's not long and quite funny. I would recommend it to shoujo lovers. There are two extra stories, not just one, so look for them.

    At first glance, this manga seemed like a typical shoujo, but having read other work by the same mangaka, I continued. Once one gets past the monthly serialization recap, one finds a fascinating story, filled with complex primary characters (especially Johanne and Yuda); serious thoughts on the effects of war/ international relations on personal relation ships, and taking action or not; and just enough sweetness and well-done humour to prevent the reading from becoming too heavy.
    I understand why some people would lack the patience for it or would find it not to their preference. However, if you manage to get beyond it, it really is worthwhile.

Correct me if I'm wrong but after reading (skimming rather) the first chapter and then reading a few more pages of the second I felt a formulaic pattern coming for each chapter: state the premise (two people become a couple to end the war but they hate each other) -> some incident -> resolution that brings couple closer -> but they go back to step 1 in the next chapter anyway. Not my cup of tea.

The only reason that kept me from rating this a 1 is the premise. It was interesting enough that it got me to pick it up, however everything just felt flat for me. The whole thing oozes typical shoujo characters, scenes, and narrative. When I see the female MC cry in the first chapter, I hear warning bells in my head; I dropped this after 10 minutes of reading.

This manga is nothing particularly groundbreaking in the world of shoujo, but it is pretty cute and has lots of "doki doki" moments. If you're an avid shoujo reader you'll predict what happens every step of the way, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't have its merits.

I like the art, it was very cute. I love this mangaka's chibis. The hero is a nice balance between the normal jerk and nice guy troupe. The heroine, while having to be constantly saved, is adorable and she is not completely useless due to her practice of medicine.

For some reason every single chapter was prefaced with the summary of the whole story, and that did get old, but other than that I don't have any major complaints.

I will say the MU summary is a bit misleading; you find out from the start that while the girl hates the guy, he has never actually hated her. ^^

this series has the cutest couple ever! The girl wasn't that annoying, so I don't know what you guys are complaining about.... She got kidnapped, but how can that be helped? It's not like she's supposed to have a black belt or something! And the prince was just beautiful.... It makes me jealous... I need a man like that too

Even though this series fell right into the shoujo world of cliches, I'll let it go this time because it's just so adorable!

When I read some of the comments, I got annoyed pretty quickly. It was quite obvious some of you didn't understand the setting of the story and most of you were hating on the female lead, Yuda. Sure it was repetitive, I won't argue with that, but you are missing out the fact that this was a monthly updated story. Many shoujo mangas that update monthly refresh the story's plot. I don't mind with people who say you hate the tsundereness in Yuda, because some people don't like tsunderes but when you say she can attack Johanne but not the bad guys, in which situation has she ever not tried to? Like for example the first main incident, when her country men lured her into a trap, she was freaking pushed down for god’s sake, and she had a knife to her throat like really you think she can do a back kick and beat the shit out of them? When she was held by the pretty lady, she freaking bit her hand and jumped into the pool so that she wouldn’t cause trouble for Johanne. Yuda can do the back kick things on Johanne because obviously he is not holding her with any force.

Yuda may be weak physically, but she has the strongest, bravest mind than all the other characters. Another thing I really also find quite irritating is the person who said she didn't do anything when he was being farmed for the massacre. It’s not that she didn't do anything, it’s that she wasn't allowed to do anything. Does no one remember that she couldn't see him? And that's why he had to sneak in her window, and dress up as a girl to see her. Did you not remember that she refused to take cover and sacrifice the people during the rose thingy? And also protected the girl from being shot? Sure if Johanne wasn’t there then she’d die and so would the girl but she went in to protect her anyways. She did NOT know Johanne was there, and yet she still tried to save the girl. Some people obviously do not understand Yuda’s character, and how brave she actually is. And some people probably didn’t read this till the end, so I’ll just stop here. 10/10 for this, very nicely developed plot and feelings. I cried at the end.
