Story: 8 The story had a pretty interesting plot, not all that unique with the arranged marriage but it was interesting. The characters were hilarious too XD Art: 9 There hasn't been a manga where I didn't like the art and this was no exception, I thought the characters were drawn quite well Character:8 I think that Hanada went through the most character development if there was any though in the beginning she wanted to find her 'prince' in the the end, she did. Enjoyment: 8 This was an enjoyable read and it was short with just two volumes. Overall: 8 If you're looking for a quick, easy read, look no further! It's funnythat no one reviewed this manga yet, guess I'm the first ;)
When she stands, she is a peony; when she sits, she is a lotus; when she walks, she is a lily. Oozing sex, pheromones in full throttle, is the perfectly flawless princess, Hanada Ran. And now that she's transferring from her high-class all girls school to a co-ed school, she's decided to search for her prince! First she meets Kashiwagi Eiji, a pervert who insults her—he's the last man she'd ever want. Then she meets the student body president, Watabe Shizuru, a perfect prince, and sets her sights on him! But then her parents announce that she has an arranged marriage with the son of the people who saved their lives... the Kashiwagi family!? (Source: ShoujoMagic)
So a beautiful "rich princess" type transfers to a new school. She hopes to find her prince, and finds a princely type and a sporty/goofy/friendly type, and as much as she thinks she wants the princely type, she has been forced into a betrothal with the friendly type boy. Overall, the story kept my interest because it was just one big ride of humor mixed in with some romance. Based on that, I should address that all characters tend to be tropes. You got the rich princess heroine, the friendly goof love interest, the princely alternate "love interest," the girl that won't give up, and thefriends that support you through it all. The characters are mostly all outspoken, loud, crazy, and exaggerated if you enjoy the satire of it all, so this is not the serious romance manga you're looking for. It was a pretty good read. Short and sweet, and should be read as mostly comedy, making fun of the tropes to be enjoyed. The littlest things become aspects of humor, and there's rarely a moment's rest for the characters, or the reader. It can be tiring if one isn't used to constant loud, screaming plot progression from very open, outspoken characters like myself, but it swas still enjoyable.
