narutolvr's manga / #Romance(290)

The summary really didn't do this manga justice -it turned out to be so much better than I expected! Despite the less than stellar scan quality and somewhat incomprehensible translations, I would reread it. The plot really took a good right turn somewhere! Plus, the surprise actually surprised me and I loved the impromptu economics lesson.

Meh. It was a nice, fluffy little story to entertain me for an hour or so.

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.

Normally, a story with such a lack of impact would probably have gotten a 2/3 star rating from me just because I didn't care enough to dislike it but this story is the peak of unremarkable stories I've read so far, and I feel it deserves some sort of recognition for that. It has a paper thin plot and the most boring characters I've come across in a while. The plot development was virtually non-existent -it just sort of coasted above actual drama the entire time. And the one possible source of drama was cleared up without much trouble (maybe it was an issue with the pacing?). If I were to describe it, it's like the feeling you get when you realized that you've just finished watching an entire TV program, but can't recall anything about it. Long story short: if you're looking for a manga that will evoke an emotional response, keep looking. If you just want something to kill 20 minutes...also keep looking; you can easily find a better way to waste time on this site.

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.

Originally tried to read this and was so bored I had to stop. Tried again a few years later and was still bored but...the side characters like her friend and his brother were interesting enough to keep me going. Lots of pointless drama and such mostly resulting from the fact that the guy is a grade A idiot who doesn't seem to understand that girlfriends and girl friends don't get treated the same and the girl is a weak willed child who doesn't know how to voice her opinions.

Cliche after cliche after cliche mixed with a plot that needed a horse and wagon to be carried...but I finished it and didn't absolutely hate it so 2 stars

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 :)

What can I say- I'm a sucker for historical mangas ^^. I really do prefer Japanese history, though, and the art was a bit...freakish

You know what? I loved it! I literally have no complaints about this one; the art was great, the characters were likeable without being over the top, the plot flowed nicely, it showed a bit of the stigma about being homosexual without sermonizing...just a very well done manga.
