Introduction:
Basically, Legend of the Sun Knight is a story that reveals the secret daily life of being a Holy Knight. The funniest thing about the Holy Knights is that, all 12 of them have their own 'predestined' character which they have to uphold in front of people. For example, the Sun Knight SHOULD BE compassionate, sympathetic, always smiling, elegant, has blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin. But in truth, except for the point regarding his appearance, the Sun Knight is the exact opposite of all the attributes. Using the first person narrative, the novel and the manhwa give readers access to the Sun Knight's ... most secret inner thoughts, which are practically all curses, complaints and schemes.

Story:
The story takes a few chapters to build up. The beginning is admittedly rather bland and boring as it's basically all introductions - introducing the continent, the country, the religion, the church, the holy knights... But once these are over, it gets really interesting. Right now the manhwa has only covered the first novel, but having completed the entire novel series, I guarantee it's going to get way way way way better. The plot twists will become more and more unpredictable and one can't help but wonder how on earth did the author come up with such crazy and shocking ideas.

Art:
The first volume (manhwa) went a bit too far with the glittering effect and chibis, but luckily the artist toned them down considerable later. The story is full of bishies, so if you're looking for a treat for your eyes, LSK is your choice.

Character:
This is one of the strongest points of LSK. The Sun Knight alone is fascinating enough. Watching him struggling to put on a facade every day while venting his anger in hilarious ways is funny, but that's not all there is to him. As the story progresses, you will realise how intelligent and unfathomable he really is. He is an expert at using (often dirty) schemes to achieve his aims, but ultimately he is a kind and extremely loyal person. Simply put, he is a wonderful friend and a horrible enemy to have. As for the other characters, each of them has their own quirks, but all of them (except the old King) are charming folks.

Enjoyment:
If you have read 1/2 Prince, you'll know how humorous the author is. Reading LSK will bring you much joy and laughter. Though only in later volumes, when the story gets more serious, can readers feel the full emotional impact that the story has.

Overall:
The manhwa of Legend of Sun Knight has a lot of potential, while the novel is simply amazing. If you feel bored after reading the first few chapters, don't be so quick to judge it yet. Carry on and you'll begin to see the charms of LSK. Just be patient.

I encountered this novel right after I finished reading the novel counterpart of 1/2 Prince manhua (at www.princerevolution.org). And I started reading it, and all hail, I liked it! The story is different from what I usually read, the typical shojo mangas... but I was surprised when I was hooked by this story until I can't get enough!

This is freakin' hilarious. So if you want to laugh, go read this one. The main character, the Sun Knight, has this split personality (the one he IS required to do and say being the Sun Knight, and his hidden personality, the one he truly feels). Because of ... that, one will laugh at his quirks and all his scheming plots.

And the art is good too. Though, one may say that they looked like girly boys, with their hairs long and perfect features, a bishie is still a bishie. And they are really eye-candies.

Story-wise, it has a good plot and the suspense will make you long for more chapters.

Overall, this is a great read! And even though you are not novel-lover, you prefer the manhua better, you will really pick the novel and read on afterwards just because you want to know more.

(when I read the manhua at mangafox, chapter 10 is the latest. On the novel counterpart, chapter 33. :D So much win! ♥)

The sun knight is a forgiving person (as the continent knows)but the truth is he is not. His smile may looked dazzling to you but who knows ? he might be trying to think of ways to get rid of you.

the other knights have their own likable personalities .




Why is my rating 10?

-Because it is so funny especially the sun knight
... -Creus/Grishia is a powerful magician but doesn't know how to use a sword even thought he's a knight.
-All the characters have their own looks and personalities and their names are easy to remember ex. Sun, Storm, Judge
- the characters are all cute cool and funny
-their personalities are not really what 'the whole country knows' but they are trying there best to live up to there name, especially the sun knight.

JUST READ IT
