After a long time of hesitation I bought all 3 Volumes of this series even though they are so expensive （/TДT)/ (...and I really hate buying english mangas... - german mangas are cheaper and french mangas mostly too - so why must english ones be so expensive ┑(￣Д ￣)┍)
Even though it was expensive I still think it was worth it, because I really enjoyed reading it. (I also liked that already in the end of volume 1 everyone knew that Makoto and Alice swapped bodies - so that there are no misunderstandings when they say they like Makoto ^^).
However, it is sad that it ended how it ended. They solved their problem with the king of hearts, but nothing more.
Also, they couldn't swap back into their bodies in the manga. There is a game (only in avaiable japanese and even boyx boy i.e. Boys Love Σ(っ°Д °;)っ) which is supposed to be like the sequel of the manga where Makoto and Alice can switch back when they participate in a fashion contest and win it. And you can chose with which you want to pair Makoto while you are playing him. But this joy is not really avaiable for people who don't know the slightest bit of japanese (￣∇￣")
So if you don't care that there won't really be an ending and that there are a some open questions left in the end and if you have nothing against Hatter (who is kind of being paired with Makoto a lot in the manga) and have nothing against the fact that Makoto will be in Alices body in the whole manga, then you can buy it if you have enough money at leat in my opinion
Oh my gosh, these Gaitous are all such an eye candy~ ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
And as the numbers of the manga chapters increases the numbers of these bishounen increases simultaneously, too! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
First was the beautiful, good looking Gaitou Alice, then the handsome Gaitou Mad Hatter, after that the cutie Gaitou Cheshire Cat and now this gorgeous Gaitou Queen!~ ヾ(☆▽☆)
I wonder which bishounen awaits us next ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I still remember that I read this manga again and again years ago and I still do it now....
AND again I ALWAYS end up disappointed because this manga is still on Hiatus... ╥﹏╥
But I cannot stop myself from reading these 7 chapters... Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
It is just too nice not to read it again even though it is not finished yet and might not get finished ┗( T﹏T )┛
Same her !
yeah me too. I remember reading this 8yrs ago and i keep coming back because its one of my first BL mangas. Just sad
I kind of like that sensei puts in another sports for a short while ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
It somehow makes reading this manga even more enjoyable than with only volleyball (at least for me) ヾ(☆▽☆)
the handball short dude wants him to leave volley and come to handball ,and he got sad seeing it can't happen （/TДT)/
And I actually thought of this scene as super cute (ノ≧∇≦)ノ (seems like I am a bit weird ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ )
Even if he doesn't join the handball team they can still be good friends
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
it okay i tough the same (≧∀≦), yeah they will be friends (●'◡'●)
I just read the raws and couldn't believe that this should be the end. Hence I looked up the mangas status on mangaupdates ( https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=19434 )
....then I found out that this manga is on Hiatus and I am like why the hell must it be on Hiatus!? Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
I just hope the mangaka will at least finish it so that their will be at least the possibility of reading it until the true end.... ┗( T﹏T )┛
I hope so too but it's been so long, I wonder if the Mangaka even remembers it unless one of us readers send a letter to them concerning it.
Oh~ it's so fluffy and cute ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I could die because of this cuteness ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
The first 2 chapters got me really interested.
So I bought an english licensed version of this manga, ''The Complete Collection'' version which was almost half the price in comparison of buying the 3 volumes each for each.
And I think it was totally worth buying it because the plot got more and more interesting and even though it felt a bit rushed in the end I really loved the story with all its characters.
(little Spoiler:
And I had to totally squeal when the scene showed up in which Cinderella kisses Otogi ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ(- even though it didn't have any romantic meaning ) It made it so worth again that I bought it!! ლ(´ڡ`ლ) )
Yeah, I have it too! On the side it says book 1-3 so I think there is more.
Then again, I'm not done reading it, so I don't know.
I don't think there are more than 3 volumes for this manga because in the afterword of the complete collection the mangakas first sentence is >>Thank you so much for reading Dictatorial Grimoire right up to the end<<
So even though it is sad there surely won't be more volumes ╥﹏╥
Yeah, I finished it awhile ago and I was like..."I WANT MORE!" I wasn't done when I made my first comment but finished it a little afterwords and I finished it all in one day!
I understand your feelings! I wished thre would be more, too! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I've already reread it so many times and it makes me so sad again and again that there isn't more .... ╥﹏╥
It's quite interesting and has got a lot potential~
Actually..., I wonder whether the sister maybe wished for Ataru to become an outcast or for all the bad things that happened to him in the past because she wanted to be his number one person or because she was envious of him or some other reason? It was the first thought that popped up in my head when I finished chapter 2. Ataru didn't seem like a good-for-nothing when he was younger...
But I hope it is not the sisters fault and just some weird thought of mine... because it would make me kinda sad and pity Ataru...
I really love this manga!
The mainstory with the arabian prince was so cute! <3
I cannot remember ever reading about such a pure and gentle arabian prince. Normally, in these arabian themed mangas the princes are always... you know... the exact opposite of a gentleman and they always rape the poor uke. But this is not the case here. It is so unbelievable cute~
Same here. This manga inspires me to imagine enjoying romantic moments rather than melodramatic moments. With mangas where rape acts mainly as romance and the communication between the leads revolves mainly around betrayal, slavery, jealousy, abandonment, obsession, differences of power or status, and other main conflicts that are melodramatic. When reading them, I can only imagine the same melodramaticness of endless tears I would be shedding, were I in the lead's shoes. But with these type of manga, where the leads are amicable, respectful, and causal with each other, I can imagine so many simple romatic moments. I like it that the couple, even if revolved around their romance, talked about matters about others, and places like when Suzuki and the prince went on a date looking at the places they passed by. With this type of romance, I can imagine myself being completely relaxed around that person, eating meals face to face everyday, converse with each other about faily life or debate, learn about the world from each other, go on picnics, argue with each other over trivial matters, and other romantic stuff that are mundane. I just love this manga for being able to imagine enjoying mundane activities in life, without dramatic things happening make it interesting.
Yeah arabic princes are always made aggressive semes that seizes their first opportunity. This one is a little different. He was willing to offer him to his brother even though he loved him. I'm happy he saved him at the end. And I guess the Khalid or crown prince didn't give him a severe punishment bc it is his brother afterall... And he wouldn't just for a woman the crown prince had a physically attraction to.
Oh my gosh~
That guy, Angel is so beautiful that since his appearance I always got so distracted from the story because I had to think of his beauty ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
