A very entertaining read! Somehow I feel like it painted a different picture of royalty/royal marriages than I'm used to seeing. Not as dramatic as reimei no arcana but still had some substance. Either way, it was a solid story, really likeable characters, well paced plot, and art that really did leave me wanting to quickly start the next chapter.

I really liked this one! Though the art wasn't my favorite thing at first (probably just scan quality), I genuinely started to enjoy the characters and story by the second volume.

Somehow I really liked this series. I genuinely can't tell you why (the kids? the fact that she was really good at shogi? the double crossing?) but I did. And I liked the characters as well as the way the plot flowed. I'm not a big fan of this author's other works either, so this really made an impact on me :)

Honestly, I'm rating this pretty much based on the first story alone, that's how great it was! Their little moving montage was so adorable! And that line "your proud animal and my anus". Oh god I nearly died! XD

It was a very good manga- it could have gotten 5 stars from me tbh. I had to knock at least one off for the dragging on towards the end, though. Around chapter 15/16, all the problems were resolved and the two should have started dating, but then one ridiculous misunderstanding carried over for 4 chapters for seemingly no reason. It just seemed like a unnecessary way to milk a bit more money out of the story for me. All in all though, good plot, great art, and really likeable characters.

I quite liked this one, though I hadn't expected to at first! I've read several like this before that I didn't care for but, for some reason, I really enjoyed reading this one. Go figure!

I really liked this one! Cute story, no big issues with love triangles and whatnot, and the love interest was never a d-bag at any point. The trifecta!

I rated this so highly mostly because of the main character; I find her absolutely hilarious! And, as someone, with a bit of an older sister complex myself, I completely understand her do or die determination to protect her nee-san. Main guy was an idiot, but he was funny! The ending was a bit...rushed I suppose? I'm surprised it jumped to him being engaged so quickly but it was funny to imagine her as something like a professional wedding crasher lol.
