Don't expect this manga to be a deep, intricatly plotted out shoujo romance, it's just a light, fun read.
The story may not be anything particularly special but it is fun. The main secrets of the book are told early on and the book is mainly made up of the pirate's adventures. It sort of reminds me of "Pirates of the Carribean" if it was a shoujo manga.
Hino's art is fantastic, the characters and their costumes look great.
Wanted is a good one volume work that might be worth your time if your looking for a light romantic shoujo manga to read.

But, well, trying to analyze the story without focusing on how quickly it happens, we have something that you don't always see, a romantic shoujo manga that takes place in the times of king and queen with pirates and knights, but, I admit that I have prejudice with the author of “Vampire Knight”, so I was ...
