Fun bonus chapters lampooning the original story.It avoids the trap of similar stories by having showing the good and bad sides of humans and beasts.Wholesome, heart-warming, this manga just feels good.This manga has my unreserved recommendation for anyone who enjoys shoujo romance manga, this is one of the best of its genre. As I said, there is something to be said for an old idea done well. Delightful read, this story has been done many times before but I enjoyed every page of this manga. He has to grapple with what it means to be king as well as coming to terms with his secret.Īn adorable classic shoujo romance. Sariphi is a simple character, naïve but compassionate, while the King is more complicated. Not much to say here, just has good art.Īs I said, no one here is something you've never seen before or super interesting character concept but they're simply so endearing and well written that it makes up for all of that. I really like the design of the king as well, it's quite regal. Good character art, with lots of cool beast designs. solved too quickly and/or easily sometimes. We see Sariphi gain more allies and open up people to the idea of peace with humans however there are other issues to ensure it doesn't get repetitive. There is some drama due to Sariphi being a human. I like the trials the main characters are put through, helping them grow.

However, what it lacks in originality it makes up in execution. Look, this is a rehash of beauty and the beast with plenty of clichés to boot.
