Synopsis

After a night of blissful freedom, Cinderella reluctantly returns to a life of mundane servitude. Only yesterday, she was the star of the royal ball—dancing with and captivating the prince. The toll of the clock striking 12 marked the end of that fleeting night and made liberation an impossible dream. But unbeknownst to her, she is being sought after by the kingdom. Will this bring about her salvation, or the exact opposite?

In this twisted take on the classic folk tale, Cinderella quickly learns that everything has a cost, and anything that sounds too good to be true almost certainly is.

Gothic humor filled with dramatic designs and quirky personalities, plus one awesome twist. This oneshot is a quick read, but it definitely had me smirking by the end of it.

Imagine if Cinderella wasn't as sweet or selfless as what we're used to seeing.

Without spoiling, all I can say is that it's worth the 5 minute read. The ending especially ...

This is a really twisted manga. It’s definitely not like the Cinderella story that we grew up with. In fact, I consider it closer to a Grim Fairy Tale more-so then a children’s tale with an ending that can make your skin crawl. It did for me and that is really rare. I do have to give you a slight warning if you really do not like spiders, this may not be the story for you. Other then that, Cinderella was really annoying when she started sounding like a valley girl.

The artwork is that of a fairytale, very befitting, and yet the proportions ...

It literally is just Cinderella with minor changes. The "comedy" is not very funny, other than the "evil?"ness and the initial dialogue of Cind at ball, also the horses a bit funny. Labeled as both comedy and horror, I was a bit disappointed that there was not a ton of horror (I like horror). There should have at least been the bare minimum of using the OG dark Cinderella foot chop off bird peck out eyes story (one could excuse that as the mangaka not knowing the original storyline, but if I was writing a twist on a story, I would look up the origins ...
