Review: 9/10 a fav <3 <3 <3 and its got epilogues!
Lemme just say one thing about this story. WOW. God its good. I mean its also about as historically accurate as a fictional story can get. And yes some is out of the rulers of egypt are out of order but man... i used this infromation in my egyptology cause and the teacher was impressed with my knowledge. Also another thing man does she get kidnapped. But i guess if your in an era when slave trade is super common then whatever but jeez. Its hilarious, the number of kidnappings and the manga itself. But getting back to the story, its a wonderful story full of twists and turns that you are able to keep up with. There is drama there, but not too much drama. Not the bad drama where the man couple splits up and gets together and repeats the process. In this manga you don't get the bad highschool drama. These characters she comes up with are full of princely characteristics and flaws. You get mad at the character you love but not because he/she is acting out of their character but because that is who the character is. And the way Shinohara is able to make the villian you hate to death, actually get a little pitty from you is amazing. She is able to turn the evil queen into a 3 dimensional character that seems real. This manga at times though.... it is defiantly a little strange, so just roll with it. It is the most unique you'll ever read i think. And be careful don't get to attached to some characters... You'll see what i mean. I want to someday, when i have the money, buy the last of the volumes of the series.
please support shinohara, viz media , and the manga industry by buying atleast one of the volumes.. And not from amazon from a bookstore plz
