SO much cute. I'm now a hippie.

This manga is pretty cute, but as many have mentioned, it is also really fluffy.

The main character is actually relatable, and most of the characters' actions make sense, but the author could've made this manga even better by going deeper into detail. The struggle of being a foreign queen paired up with a child king has been lightened by a lot, but the story is still enjoyable.

Niki, the queen-to-be, has a serene mind that tries to see beauty in all things (I've been trying to do this as well, and y'know what? The rain IS really pretty). She is also way more down to earth, due to her origin as more of a "tribal princess," this helps to show all the energy she has and stuff. Inevitably, her positive aura becomes a huge part of the king Livi's life--to the point that he becomes semi-insane if her life is threatened.

(I kind of understand that feeling. I mean, the poor dude has been in darkness for so long that he never wants to let go of his light again.) And despite being a child, he has the wisdom of a king, albeit he also has the cruelty of a conqueror. (niki is changing that side of him though, and I love that)

Either way, this one isn't all THAT cliche. Something about the two characters make me root for them...like a lot. I like both of them--thank goodness.

OH ALSO, if anyone is looking to propose to someone for marriage, this manga has some romantic quotes that just leaves people shivering.

One of the meaningful quotes (NOT related to marriage):

Niki is commenting on how the young king doesn't enjoy the beauty the world offers:
"Your majesty, even though you have conquered the world, none of it is reflected in your eyes."


So enjoy life guys! Go look at flowers! Go sleep under the sun~! Sing in the rain!

So far, at eight chapters, I feel like this manga has great potentional. I love the two main characters, I've been searching for a strong, independent, and smart female lead. The male lead was a great mix of childish, arrogant, and cool.

The art is good and I feel that the main characters are slowly being fleshed out. I sense a little insanity in the young king, especially at the end of chapter eight...Wow. I get the feeling he's going to be a little too possesive. (Btw, the age gap is like four years and it doesn't really bother you.) You get the feeling that he'll grow up into an incredibly handsome man.

I honestly can't wait to read more. You get a mix of really intense, almost evil emotions and a butterfly sweet feeling.

I really adore strong willed heroines like Nike.
He is not your typical shoujo heroines who always act weakly and cutesy and always easily swayed by emotions.
Nike is very likeable, she is simple, strong and independent.

Livius maybe a bit arrogant and immature at times but he knows how to protect his wife Nike.
Vice verse, Nile saves Livius back at times.

I really want to know how the story progress..
I don't mind the big age gap between them.
As long as their feelings are true and honest that's all that matters.

I was really touched when Livius told to Nike these lines:
"You don't have to worry about me ever letting you go"
"Even if everyone says we aren't suited for each other, the only necessary thing i'll ever need is you"
"In addition the difference in our height won't last forever"
kyaa!!!!! so sweet!!!!!!

This anime is so incredible and very overwhelming for me. It's touched of the bottom of my heart. This anime story is not just a love story or overcoming many challenges in life but also inspire us to my daily life. Its really touched my heart. Also this it made me realize how beautiful the world is and how important the music is. Its so very heartbreaking and lovable story. I will definitely support this until the very end.

I started this manga feeling "oww, it's cute and fluffy!"
Then as the story goes, I notice the plot is not only about cute and fluffy things, or those craps that usually show up in shoujo manga.
I appreciate the way author telling her reader about "king jobs", regional problems that happen within some unique kingdom in this manga's world (sea kindom, sand kingdom, rain kingdom, and I hope to see more biggrin), diplomatic issue (though not something super heavy), and those makes this manga meaningful.
This couple make me feel like I saw another karluk-amira (otoyomegatari), in different world with different setting and comedy, which is kinda refreshing! Their character is lovable! Nike has strong personality, yet she's not stubborn annoying and she can think what's best to do. Livi... aaagh, he's cute and handsome and cool at the same time. I really like this type character >v<.
I have no problem with art, actually. It's getting better, too.

I've only read the first chapter because that's all that is scanalated at the moment, but I love it!! The king is such a brat, but it's hilarious how Nike puts him in his place. Cliche, of course, but so sweet at the same time. Love it!!!!!

Series was okay for a while, until this current arc where Nike was kidnapped and almost fucking raped and in the end she forgives the bastard. Even pleads with Livius to spare his life. What. A. Bitch. Then I suddenly remembered the last time she was kidnapped by another dude (happens quite often actually) and held against her will while Livius goes batshit crazy trying to save here and OH YEAH SHE FORGAVE THAT BASTARD TOO. Seriously I felt the years reading this series was a waste of my time.

This manga is "by my opinion" a combination of The Story of Neverland (Natsuna Kawase) and Dear Mine (Takao Shigeru).

Welp. I don't hate it, but I don't really fangirling it like the other as well XD. Maybe since the romance is so fast that I can't really feel anything aside: "Well that's... Er... Maybe cute. But that's it."

i really love this manga. the art gets better.
not only dramatic, but very romantic, funny and sweet parts it has. the love between Livi and Nike is so warm and awww im going all doki-doki when i see them kissing!!~
i like the various kingdoms, i find the rain summoning interesting, and Livi being the king of the world while being a kid is so awesome. i wish they would make another season of the anime, coz there was Nike actually singing while in manga its not written what she sings x)
anyway its a great manga. i liked that Luna got a man too tho xD well i do like him too xD
Since i wrote this comment much happened, Livi is changing to the better, both Nikes and Livis love is growing, its still interesting and i cant wait for the next update which will be chapter 75!! I hope they would make a second anime season. Coz i love this so much!!

Not really for me

The manga overall was good-older female lead, willing to go against the odds to prove herself, stuff like that. Male lead, younger and shorter, arrogant, but amusing. An interesting twist to other shoujo mangas; it's kinda refreshing in a way. The art is also good, and the storyline is fine.

But I stopped around the 2nd book-it was like...the same thing happening over and over again. Female lead not allowed to be with male, proves herself, attempt is foiled, they solve everything perfectly OK. In the first few chapters, Nike said she called on rain but it was a sacred ceremony. But when the chapters went on, she seemed to call on rain for my trivial reasons.

The romance is there, cute, but somehow, slightly unbearable. At first the height irked me, but I got used to it. The humour was also there, slightly twisted, but good. Overall, it was average, if not tipping slightly towards the below average side. Though there are some really sweet parts-especially when Nike is trying to teach Livius about the world and stuff like that, and how Livius was treating her so sweetly in the background. But not really my cup of tea.

If you like shoujo with a twist, this is for you. But not for me.
