Agathe's manga / #Smart(14)

4.5 -there’s a difficult story about family abuse , outside of fiction world, there supposed to be one to three kids in every family with that type of problems It’s written in a. Very smart and subtle way, managing to brush the subject without getting to deep in the dark Maybe there’s naivety to that as the neglecting family leaves way for another family warmth to save the kid without cold social services Nonetheless it’s sweet I also appreciate the underlying talk about differences - whatever labels making one different, even « good » ones can just be a pain W ehave a culture of comparing and pointing hierarchy - it’s obviously pretty painful

4.5 It’s a light yaoi story - few explicit pages, and not too deep - yet it’s Beautiful and strangely meaningful Both trapped in the cage of their birth right which is also the cage they made for themselves by only watching the limits it gave them , finally change their views and become free Full of flowers, it’s a rather enchanting tale

43 - 4.5 - on manga tree - It’s very cute, the universe is just a bit original ( foundation myth in which the emperor is a dragon and his aristocrats are magical beasts in humans shape, even if so far all that magic is just a story ?) it’s lovely that the MC is a real little girl with a strong and beautiful heart and a head in its right place It brings a totally fresh vision to the castle - as the emperor gave her status she’s well surrounded, and can keep a beautiful kindness that her brethen can uphold Her mom did travel back in time - coming back to life she reformed into a good and protective mother - She has strong hint on the future and is probably trying to prevent succession war to happen to save her girl - but luckily, these angsty and now too common plot are left in the background so far, leaving us to a delightful little girl adventures The art is beautiful Plot wise, there’s a big background (mom rebirth, castle potential conflicts) , but we see very little. It’s interesting that we get get swept int the pace of a little girl story telling, sticking to a partly naive, partly wise vision of the world. She also bring a child point of view into the wicked and painful ways of the noble kids : why should they fear or embrace the adult conflicts ? Catch c43

26 - Sweet poetic and smart, full of heart with an amazing art ; what a great fairy tale
