the story doesn't sound too exciting but it is funny, engaging, and well-paced with some moments of depth. The characters are also very lovable and cute (but thankfully not cute-sy). It doesn't sound like a story that should take up too many volumes. I think as long as the mangaka stay under 6 volumes- the story should be fine and won't drag.

Considering this was published in Lala, I wasn't expecting much, but wow, this was so bad I had write a review to rant/keep others away from this.

As previous reviewers have said, the female lead is beyond annoying. Honestly speaking, it's like she's pms-ing throughout the entire manga. The male lead is your typical cool-headed shoujo guy, but he's tolerable.

On the whole, the story could have knocked down the cliches generally associated with shoujo (the set-up was completely there), but it didn't get there. It didn't get there at all. There was a little bit of me that hoped that this would do that when I read the description, but really why was I so optimistic? This features your typical royalty shoujo/josei set-up mixed with superficial obstacles and annoying personalities. Ookami no Heika no Hanayome is a much better story if you want a well-executed shoujo about royalty.

Overall, if you're looking for a light-read, this is fine. If you're looking for something even remotely unique and different, look elsewhere.

Amazing manga! Absolutely amazing. I haven't read one this good in a while. Its only 4 volumes, but doesn't leave with the 'I wish there was more' or unsatisfied feeling. The couple is so cute and funny. They are pure awesomeness together. lol There is a good mix of romance, action, those tear jerking moments (I was balling near the end... lol) and humor (of course ). I give it an 11 really. But that's not an option for the ratings... So meh... ^-^

This manga is like a fairy tale with a little twist. It is for readers who like princess-prince fairy tales with a spin.
The drawings are very nice and the main couple is quite cute. Read it if you are looking for a cute typical shoujo manga.

I love this mangaks's drawings. But the intro in the beginning of the chapters explaining the situation gets tiring. But I like this series very much.

Okay, it was cute, I guess, but I never really understood why Euda hated the prince so much. She said it was because he killed people during the war.... but so did her brother? I just thought their whole love-hate relationship thing was never justified, and that she was just being all whiney over nothing. Everything involving the countries was solved easily, whereas their relationship was all rocky just because she was obstinate about her feelings. It was pretty annoying. The prince was nice, though. Pretty typical shoujo, but not really my cup of tea.

I couldn't finish reading this 'cos the lead female's character growth is super duper slow. It was really annoying how every chapter so far, involved her having to be "saved" and not once, does anyone have the common sense to increase security around her or take other counter-measures to protect her. Now, I don't mind some sentimentality like getting all weepy and mournful and so on(since it's human to show a range of emotions), but she never stops crying ever. After a few moments of putting up a strong and prickly front, she'll burst into tears after a while.

And worse, neither of the main characters ever learn from some of their mistakes. I'd normally ignore issues like these but the writing revolves around certain aspects of the plot. And not once have they picked up any hints! A shame since many other aspects were quite good and well laid-out: from the character interactions to the setting of this story and why it makes so much sense when a "forced or sham marriage" doesn't always work out. And for a shoujo, it does have a fair amount of realism about the effects of war and it's not the wish fulfillment type either.

However, those who don't mind such flaws would find the story really to their liking. It's got quite a spin on a normal shoujo romance and also, it's not about school life.

For those who liked or disliked this title, I also recommend The Prince's Cactus where the protagonists are quite strong and also spend their entire time bickering.

And that's exactly what it is.

The series is about 2 characters on opposing sides that have suffered years of war with each other. So when the Prince and Princess profess there love for each other they accept peace because both of them have very doting fathers (for real thats the reason). But in actuality they don't actually like each other at all both of them being not each other's type. But slowly they also fall in love with each other whilst also trying to get past the years the damage there countries have done to each other.

As you can probably guess, the series does not actually do anything unique, or that interesting. Usually the series just pulls the same comedic stuff over and over again so it really depends on your own mood or enjoyment of which clichés will click for you.

I think the most interesting part of the series was where the main character kills people and the main heroine who is a medical expert questions whether or not its ok to kill people under certain circumstances. Its too bad this is never really fully explored (though i will say that it is mostly resolved in its own episodic scenario that it was created in).

Another issue was the art. Everything is really pointy. The chins specifically.

I mean this is a short 4 volume series that plays it by the books. Despite there being some good moments and overall i did somewhat enjoy this series. I'd say your better off reading off better romance series instead.

TLDR: Unless you have literally run out of push and pull romance series and want to read more than yeah i guess this is good enough to be worth checking out. 5/10

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.
