hanasan's manga / #Magic(6)

It's reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast. A cute romance between sweet floofy king that pretends to be strong, and a brave girl that was raised as a human sacrifice.

It's only been season one and i already cried like a little baby. This is one of the best fantasy stories I've seen to date. I love that the main character is reflecting on his past life and the points where he just wanted to be with his family, growing his connections, it's really poignant and beautiful.

Crying like a bitch at this.

The most recent chapter, Chapter 18, turned this story from a 4 star to a 5 star to me. I literally cried hearing him talk about his intentions of leaving his name behind in case he wasn't around when she woke up from her petrification. Now THIS is a Yandere I love. He's truly dedicated, and although a little insanely obsessed, he did a lot of Good for the world in her honour, and I appreciate him a lot for that.

The title and concept doesn't do enough justice for how actually wholesome, comedic, and positive this story is. Yes, it's a little bit "love and friendship conquers all"-y but in a world where those type of stories that are actually pretty well-written and not just something that leaves you wanting more, this is a fantastic example of a well-written happy ending for everyone that doesn't leave me unsatisfied. Do I want more extras to flesh out some of the children in the future (especially with how many there are)? Yes, but that's just because I'm a sucker for learning how children characters grow into their own and have their own stories. But we can't always just pump out sequel after sequel about the same characters' children. Sometimes, we have to be like the ending here in this manga, and carve the happy end into stone and leave it at that.
