Forbidden Wedding is a Shoujo, Smut, Romance, Comedy with the sort of story that any experienced shoujo manga reader is familiar with… but shorter.

Our heroine, Hana, is a childish girl who’s always dreamt of one day meeting her prince and that day eventually comes, but he isn’t the sort of prince she hoped for. Queue typical shoujo romance storyline, about a girl that reluctantly falls in love with her perverted prince. Sure this is classed as smut; however this is a fairly cute shoujo romance manga, with not much drama to complicate matters. The couple in question are quite fun to follow, with plenty of sensual situations they get into, nevertheless the entire set-up is unoriginal.

Hana Akiyoshi is you typical naïve, innocent girl who’s fairly easy for our hero to take advantage of. As for Ichiya Toujyou, all I can say is that his character is full of contradictions. He’s genuinely nice but can be cruel; furthermore he’s a sadist but can be fairly sweet. Bottom line is, this is a shoujo manga that allows the pair to become a perfect match and though there are other characters, you can pretty much ignore them.

The artwork is probably the best thing about it, with some detailed character designs; on the other hand it’s easy to tell what areas that little effort has gone into it.

Overall this manga turned out to be a good read, for any ‘romance’ or ‘smut’ lover with less than an hour free time but the problem is that the story lacked depth and originality.
