This manga is incredible. When people say fictional men are too perfect, Hatsuyuki Ichimonji is the fictional man they're talking about. The story gives me Ouran High School Host Club vibes, in that it involves a middle class girl surrounded by the richest of the rich and hilarious hijinks ensue.

The romance is my favorite part of this manga. Hatsuyuki is so incredibly loving and he doesn't hesitate to say what he's thinking at all times. This is a lovely contrast to our protagonist, Koume Yoshida, who's less open with her feelings. They make the cutest couple and there's a very early confession but it ...

Preliminary (45/74 eps)

This shoujo manga pokes fun at many of the shoujo cliches while also being an adorable and sweet shoujo! I laughed out loud so many times from the jokes, I squealed a little from some of the cute moments, and I even teared up at the romantic parts (maybe I'm just easily moved). The thing that this manga did was actually make me care about and like all of the characters, which is a MUST for a shoujo manga.
------------------------------------

STORY (6/10): Not the most original, I have to say. It hasn't done anything that hasn't been done before, really, but it does it WELL. I was ... never bored with the story despite the cliches because the manga was self-aware.

ART (8/10): The art is very nice. It also isn't the most original kind of art style, but I do love this style a lot! The use of screentones and the mangaka's style of linework make it pop! It is not boring-looking at all. It's very lively!

CHARACTER (8/10): As I mentioned before, all of the characters are likeable. Some side characters bugged me a bit at first, since they were rude, but they grew on me. They were mainly for comic relief and got quite a few laughs from me. As for the two main characters, I LOVED their development. Both the "prince" and the "commoner" girl changed throughout, and it was at a good pace.

The girl didn't have time to know how she felt about him in the beginning because she was just kind of thrown into crazy situations. The boy doesn't understand normal social interaction very well, he's just innocently interested in her and wants to get to know her. BUT he doesn't realize how much trouble it causes (due to his popularity and high status in society). He is so wholesome though! You can see the girl gradually come to love him because of his honesty and genuine desire to be with her, despite the fact that they are from different backgrounds. She notices that he does everything in his power to remove any obstacles between them, and finds herself wanting to try just as hard.

They are seriously adorable together because of how opposite they are, and they both change each other for the better. They weren't static characters and they learned from their experiences, which is what I like. Many shoujo mangas don't do this.

ENJOYMENT (9/10): It was never boring and I read it all within a few hours (at least what I could find, which was like 45 chapters.) It was a fun read and I enjoyed the romance aspect a lot. I seriously did tear up at the sweet and genuine things the prince would say and do for the girl. It's something anyone would want to hear from the person they love! (And you could tell she was moved by it too)

OVERALL (7/10): So it isn't the most original shoujo manga ever, but the characters make up for it for sure! I recommend it to any shoujo manga lover looking for a good read! The characters are too cute~

Sadly, I can't find any more chapters past chapter 45 as of 2021. I'm not sure if it is still ongoing or just not scanned and translated yet. Amazon only has it up to volume 8. Fingers crossed, that the rest of it will be available. At least it had a nice stopping point which tied together well despite it having a small cliffhanger at the end, indicating that there's more.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (10/74 eps)

The story of a prince out of touch with how to have normal human interaction tries to date a regular common girl.

This manga does manage to feel different from many shoujo manga in that it (intentionally for stylistic reasons) chose a rather off kilter setting, that is not supposed to be a fantasy setting, and yet at the same time, does not resemble real life either. It's this supposed to be Japan? Europe? I honestly have no idea.

The part that's disappointing to me is that while it feels like it has potential, it never feels like it manages to get off the ground. It ...
