This manga is primarily a love story, a light and pretty fluffy one at that. But that doesn’t mean the plot is simple. No, there is some pretty interesting and unique ideas in here that make this manga, while still light and fluffy, worth the read.
Plot- The plot seems relatively straightforward, a political marriage to halt a war, however it is no a simple story. The story dips into the world of politics, the two main characters soon getting caught up in the middle of many different political agendas that they must carefully navigate through, for one wrong step could mean their death (literally). I like how this story brought in some politics while remaining a light read, there’s not going to anything that makes your brain hurt just reading it, but the different ideas and opinions about war and peace and other political things were interesting, and yet easy, to read.
Characters- The two mains, Johane and Euda, make a very cute couple. Johane is pretty straightforward, confident and yet caring. Euda levels Johane’s violence off with her gentle spirit and love for everyone. They are really a great couple and you can’t help but love them. The secondary characters aren’t bad either, but they don’t stand out to much, you learn at least a little about each secondary character to at least be able to like or dislike them.
Art- The art is nice, boxy but nice. It may take some getting used to but once you do the art is actually very nice and portrays the story excellently.
Other- I have two main issues with the story (not that they make me like it less or anything…), one is that annoying recap we get like…every chapter! I get it, I’ve been reading the story, you don’t need a recap every single chapter! The second issue is Euda, she continually ‘defends’ herself against Johane (yeah, she’s shy…) and yet when she’s attacked (which usually happens…) she is completely helpless. I understand that she isn’t a fighter but really, she’s in danger and she can’t do much. Other than those two little issues the story is very nice, with enough mystery and action to keep it from being just a boring love story. I definitely recommend this manga!
7/10- Really liked it
