Developing to fast

This manga... I don't know what to say. I mean, the art, the genres and the story itself, I like them all. But what disturbs me is that the story progresses too fast. A few moments ago Sakura was a cute, fourteen girl who refused to marry the prince and now she's this strong, fighting girl who just accepts it without quiestions, fighting of the demon - and this is just chapter one. That doesn't work for me. I'll see if I'll continue reading this manga...

It was intressting reading the description, but it developed too fast...

true, it's pretty much the same but that's her style. You actually can tell who who is but it is indeed annoying that the character traits are always very similar.
Well, more or less every manga-ka has characters/looks they prefer, so what?
Sakurahime Kaden is at least much better than Mistress Fortune, that was a total failure (in m opinion).

I love Arina Tanemura, I'm a huge fan of her art and stories and I always will be. I'm loyal and I have all of her stories but...
I'm definitely a little disappointed. Her art's beautiful as ever...but as a lot of other people mentioned, she seems to just be recycling characters...
The concept was pretty good at first, but as I read more I started to feel...meh

and she only has like, three different type of guy designs, most of the males in her manga all look the same...

Decent at best

The one really good thing about this manga is the art work. The character designs are good though for the most part they look much like many other character designs in manga.

The story is not really even decent. There is little consistency or normal reactions in the story. Nothing seems to be right. Maybe if we go further into the chapters there will be explanations for how the characters act and how the storyline develops though I doubt it. I just do not see anything here that makes any sense. Then of course I do not like how the story develops either so that may have a bit to do with not thinking the story is well written.

This is not something that I would recommend to anyone so I will not be reading any more of it even once it is complete.

Typical Tanemura. Girl with a painful past and tries to hide her pain with a beautiful smile that make the boy wants to protect. It is so predictable.
The drawings are beautiful, that is the only reason I rated it a 1. Also. What is with the getup? It is like a high school uniform glorified.
While the drawings are beautiful, the heroine is still the same. She is literally another Maron with the only difference being a historical setting.

Edit:
I would like to elaborate a bit on my criticism after reading the comments defending this manga.
One of the things I liked about Arina-sensei's works is that she is actually capable of having a darker genre. It's only that the darker romance is always reserved only for the side characters. WHY? This is a personal opinion, but her main characters always have a more light hearted romantic plotline. It is banal and boring, since it basically is the same recycled plotline.

Another thing I would like to point out and this is the main reason to why I cannot take it seriously at all. We are talking about Heinan dynasty Japan. Why oh WHY is the magic girl get up designed after a high school uniform? It is so skimpy and highly inappropiate for someone who is meant to have been born and raised in the first century AD! If she wanted to have some type of magical element in her plotline, she needs to re-think in how to approach it. I am actually surprised that no one else had commented on that. It is so wrong on so many levels. The plot has potential and I am not against having a magical element in a historical setting, but in her haste to satisfy the early teen audience, Arina sensei has made this whole thing more of a joke than anything else.

Like sunnysun said, I'm not expecting much from Tanemura either, but I'm mostly in it for the art. lol.

When I saw Sakura go all fantasy on us, I immediately thought, "Oh look, it's KKJ all over again, but this time, she's pulling a sword out of nowhere."

Her heroines always seem to be the innocent little girls that were lonely, needed a person to talk to, and have a past where it's all full of drama.

Also, like sunnysun said, I think Tanemura is going pretty dramatic with her newer mangas. Like the end of SDC, the last few chapters were like, "How did that happen? I thought this was supposed to be a real-life high school girl...not a girl jumping off cliffs, surviving, and getting shot without getting seriously injured." ...but I won't go into it.

I just hope this manga will get better, though.

Ugh...Sorry to you all Arina Tanemura-sensei fans, but as much as I may love her art...her stories are always so TRITE. =____=
Always, there is a pure heroine, who has some kind of painful past. Really, is she only good for writing those kinds of stories? It's always way too dramatic. I've read a lot of manga, but her stories are really always the same one way or another.

I thought I was the only who noticed and complained about her art. But as windshadow mentioned, it's been a long time, and the characters' faces look the same as always...it doesn't matter if she changes the hairstyles, cuz the eyes and face are the exact copy of another character she draws. And not only that, she loves long haired girls. Really. Something new perhaps? When she draws the hair, she always makes it different length. You can see from the part where "aoba-sama" pulls her off the tree, that her hair is extremely long in that scene. But in the next few, her hair is shorter. Oh yeah, and even if her art has improved a lot since her debut days, I would like to say that sometimes, the body structure is kinda awkward...yes I remember reading one of her sidebars that she likes a heroine "with curves and boobs," but I mean, sometimes, it's TOO curvy that's it's impossible in real life. Well, that's just one of my pet peeves because I like people to be drawn proportionately and realistically. (PS, I don't like the way she draws the hands. I think she did a better job with hands in Fullmoon)

Anyways, like sunnysun says, I'm not expecting much either. But hey, anyday, she might make the story a little different from the others. (tho who am i kidding)

I wouldn't recommend it if you're not into the magical girl genre...and even then, I think this is one of the worst. Her KKJ was much better than this. Well maybe I'm just biased because I've long graduated from reading magical girl stories, and especially from shallow manga with little or no character development. But that is just my opinion.

I can't say where this series is going or how good it will be, but so far, it has the typical super-cute Arinacchi art style, immediate romance, and the mix of Arinacchi predictable/unpredictable plot twists. If you're a fan of shoujo fantasy or of Arinacchi, this will probably be right up your alley.

Arina Tanemura seems to be doing more action packed mangas as apposed to more shoujo-y ones. But i think she's going back to making girls have magical powers, yay! I love her heroines cuase they aren't cheesy and don't say some stupid incantations to transform. xD. The story was little confusing due to too much info stuffed in 1 chapter, but the mood is very light hearted and comical. And I have to say, the ending was pretty funny. I can't wait to read more!

My Favourite Historical Manga~!

At the beginning, the series didn't seem all so captivating, but as I read on, it got better. I ended up reading the whole series (all 12 volumes) with a smile on my face - and reread it a couple of times too. The last few chapters are the best. They are so emotional and filled with meaning compared to the first few. The art and plot was perfection although the heroine wasn't my ideal type. Like calm down Sakura, don't take Chizakura out ever 10 seconds, please.
