Story-9
Typical beginning, pretty boy must find a girlfriend, or in this case, a wife for some reason. The main character, Ludwig (Lui) must find a wife to be able to succeed his father's throne. So, he sets off with his gullible servant, Wilhelm. The two of them try to find a suitable (which means one who has a nice body and big-breasted in Lui's point of view) wife for the prince. Throughout the story, they meet many princesses/girls who ironically are from fairytales. However, like I said before, things are not all what the seem in this manga. Each fairytale has their own twist. Yuki Kaori did a fine job at changing some things that seem little which actually cause significant changes to the story. The twists are often disturbing, humorous, or maybe both. This was part of the reason why I liked this manga so much.
Art-8
After reading some of Yuki Kaori's other manga, I come to appreciate her art. Her art is truly beautiful. Lui's appearance suited his personality well. She also drew the princesses very well as if she was drawing from Lui's point of view. Haha. Death, passion, shock, and humor is displayed well throughout the story.
Character-8
Ludwig Revolution has an odd set of characters. Our main character, Prince Ludwig, is a perverted, arrogant, beautiful corpse collector. Then, there's the servant. Wilhelm is a careful, kind-hearted, gullible servant who ends causing up trouble rather than helping unintentionally. Unfortunately, he is treated like crap by Lui. There are many other characters but in order not to spoil it, I'll let you read it. However, I will tell you one thing, each princess is NOT like the ones you see in the book. This is also another reason why I like the manga.
Enjoyment-9
I enjoyed this manga very much. While at first Lui's personality can annoy you, it can also make you laugh sometimes. There will be times where you bite your nails in anticipation wondering what's going to happen next. There will be times where you laugh at the characters' stupidity or sarcastic comments. There will also be times where you go "WTF, how did that happen?" That could happen if something in the story happens unexpected and surprises you like that time about how Cinderella's prince actually-Oops, shouldn't spoil it for you?
Overall-9
This is a definite must-read. You will laugh, be shocked, or maybe both while reading this story. This is definitely worth your time.
