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!
