I have only read to volume twenty-nine, but I would like to say that this is an EXCELLENT manga, and it contains a perfect balance of love and war.
P.S. I have cried about 14 times.

A lot of prophecies but altogether too much tragedy and ill-fated meetings. The clique passing by but not-realising-who-he-is parts. But still a much loved story nevertheless.

The series is good and i recommend this series. But the art of the mahwa seems to get worse later in the series and the story is complicated. This is a story for those who aren't people who read the simple romance shoujo manga and can understand the story.

I'm loving almost every moment and detail about this superly long manga, the political issues are just sometimes.. boring. otherwise, it's a lovely read

at first i tought it would be some kind of ordinary n usual kind of love story,, but im shock with it!!! its absolutely wonderful n great,, even tough the art was a bit less,, but the story is worthed it..,, i love the story between lala n the king,, but it turn really sad.. oh my god.. i cried a lot when she died..,,
all i can say is you MUST READ IT!! you wont regret it!!! i guaranteed that!!

Like many have posted already before, "Princess" is a very complex tale of Love, jealousy, hatred, revenge and a whole mess of other things. If you are used to, the simple romantic Shoujo boy meets girl plots then stay away from Princess.
To put it frankly, Princess story plot is for mature people who can handle in depth tales of pain and sorrow. I really wish this manhwa was turned into an Anime it so would be brilliant as one.

The story is captivating, the characters interesting, both politics and romance aspects are well done, and the drawings beautiful. The technical military aspects are naive to the extreme, but don't distract too much.

...why do people have the urge to give major spoilers for absolutely no reason on here? This whole series is basically about the different couples and their relationships and to give away some of the endings is so inconsiderate... Just say your opinions/thoughts and MOVE ON jeez...


by the way this series is pretty great and definitely worth checking out ^^

For those in love with history/tale that covers the span of multiple generations, and for those who don't scoff/break down reading about the tragic love that repeats itself from mothers to daughters, this series is nearly perfect. The tale has its tragic heroines and greedy antagonists, as well as men who just can't help but fall for the main character, who apparently has a smile as beautiful as the sun.

Unfortunately, after reading four volumes of this series, I can say that I've had enough. I hate to be the minority, but I personally just can't stand the choices the characters make, and I hate most of their guts too. So, I'm outta here.

Honestly, for a modern manga reader, this series will be hard to digest--Not because it's more intelligent or anything, but because its style is a lot different from the typical manga of today. The art, for one thing, will irritate many. The shocked face of blank eyes with no eyeballs just crept the heck out of me. And oh the horror, I could not shed a single tear at the epic, because it was too removed from reality for me to relate to.

But don't feel discouraged and give it a try....If you are emotional, bring some tissues too--although it turned out I didn't need any.
