Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Historical(123)

Completed story Cute little story of Prince Ike’s sojourn to make a name for himself and become a hero. Any good human would believe that a personal quest to take out the demon king would be a worthy quest, but Noah, Demon King of Mano is not that easy to kill. Firstly, his guards knock Ike out. Then the Demon King takes him in to care for his recovery. Even worse when Ike wakes and persists in his plan, the Demon King proves too elusive to even touch. But it’s all over for Ike when he falls for the gentle gardener king who treats him like he is precious. This was a surprisingly fluffy story about love in unexpected places and I loved how even the scariest monsters had a reasonable side.

Top tier story for me. -Montague Joel Letreux, Lord Judiciary Montague. Serious, hard working, advisor to the king and law maker. -Viscount Adam Canning. Hired by the queen mother from her birth country Xehana to be a bodyguard for Lord Judiciary Montague. A beautiful, hedonistic charmer who has always been more focused on living for pleasure until he meets Joel. This story is well written, with interesting characters and a great background of political intrigue that lets both characters shine. I loved the Georgian fashions, and the friendship between the king and Prince Luca was adorable. I could rave more, but suffice to say it’s a favourite.

Story complete on WebComics -Xie Yanhuan: Sent in place of The Ninth Princess of Xie Huan to be wed to the Emperor of Ming Guo, Yan Gui. Under a curse and following the Ninth Princesses commands under duress, Xie Yanhuan’s sole hope for success is that the Emperor live up to the rumours that he isn’t interested in women and never visits the concubines of his harem. Because if the emperor were to visit, he would discover that Xie is a man. -Yan Gui, Emperor of Ming Guo: Known as the God of War, Yan stepped into the seat of Emperor following a thwarted attempted coup by Prince Anle. Now he wields politics in his harem and his country and deals with the machinations of those with their eyes on his throne. The story was enjoyable with its balance of harem political shenanigans, character romance, magical curses, and the shadow of a looming war. There were some unexpected moments, but on the whole the story followed a comfortably expected trajectory. Let down a bit by a rather rushed final chapter, but overall still enjoyable.
