Lol they are two completely different mangas Charlotte only aged backwards to her younger body enisha was put into a completely different body Charlotte and enisha have completely different personalities and they look nothing alike and enisha gets a whole new (blood related family) while charlotte just gets "adopted" for a few years and especially how charlotte lost alot of her powers while enisha keeps hers and will probably be even stronger in the future. I dont see how you are comparing these to in the first place and they both have their own charms and I personally enjoy reading the youngest princess just as much as I enjoy Charlotte's 5 disciples.
I agree with the reply above me. The two stories are completely different. Enisha/the archmage didn't even want to get turned into a baby. She went to sleep and some magic circle came out of nowhere and forced the event. Also the youngest princess focuses heavily on enisha and her new life. Heck even the most recent chapters are about her trying to find out more about some dude that proposed to her. Charlotte's 5 disciples seems to focus more heavily on how the mc can't get rid of her past so easily cause of how much her disciples seem to need her. They're both great stories and sure might share a similar element or two such as magic and both mc's having disciples but the stories themselves are completely different
Good point.
But I favor more the characters and world of Charlotte.
How could I not? The basic idea is the same: Archmage gets younger and doesn't know why, Her loyal disciples are searching for her and gets doted/cared by influential powerful dudes.
Charlotte was literally trying to die lol. Then she goes on to live life and her new childhood is barely shown. The main story revolves around her as an adult again trying to stop her disciples from doing bad things to find her/fix whatever bs they got into while she was gone. Enisha's story (so far) revolves around her childhood and her life as a princess. Although we're repeatedly reminded she's actually an archmage, her power isn't being thrown in our faces. ALSO, charlotte isn't being taken care of by some rich, handsome dudes, she's literally out trying to ger her 5 kids to behave. Enisha was also found, might i add, by her two disciples and they don't bother her now since she decided to stay as the kingdom's princess. BASICALLY the two stories are different, completely unique to one another. Other than both being amazing and great reads
Yes the two stories are different but they started with a similar concept. Just like how many stories already overused the idea of reincarnated as a Villainess or being reborn as baby in royal (tyrant) family.
By the way, when Charlotte was a child again she was taken care of by Archduke Jeffrey Lewister.
What exactly do you like personally about the story of Enisha? As I mentioned she is now a princess who is basically on top and having many priveledges given to her. Her life is basically perfect. I like that the alphaholes treats Enisha very well but I don't feel comfortable how they are to other subjects especially the pitiful ML.
Of course her life isn't less easy. She still has to figure out why she was turn into the star princess baby, deal with assassins and political situations.
I still get the impression that she is quite well off with her current position and high social status + access to her Archmage's power, knowlege + resources.
You do realize that there are a shit ton of stories/books/novels etc. that start the same, have the same basic premise, have similarities, etc. and not be a knockoff of each other? How many anime/manga/manhwa/manhua start by someone getting into an accident and then die by that accident, then reincarnating into either a baby or taking over someone else's body, then for some odd reason the baby is overpowered/royal or the overtaken body is noble/royalty but then guess what. All those stories go on to their own little paths and be completely different of each other and without being a ripoff of each other? 6 of my favorite novel series have so much similarities because they share the same basic concept and none of them are knockoffs of each other. (〜￣△￣)〜
Yes, I do know and I don't disagree with you. The idea of Age progression isn't knew.
I believe Charlotte was the first one which started the idea of an archmage that unexpectedly turned radically younger into an infant/child and has to cope with it.
Just like how Sailor Moon was influential to other Magical Girls Stories or how My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! started the whole unwilling reborn as the villainess trend in many storytellings in Novels, Mangas, Manwahs and Mahuas.
There is a webtoon called "The Youngest Princess" and it came after "Charlotte".
I suspect it kinda ripped of "Charlotte" or borrowed certain elements from it.
Personally I think "Youngest Princess" is inferior than "Charlotte Has Five Disciples".
Enisha/MC was originally an Archmage who has only two disciples (They are so obssessed with her and missing her so much that they are willing to sacrifices any lives) until she got for unknown reasons reincarnated by a magic circle as a baby in the most powerful and richest patriarchal royal emperor family in the world. Turns out she is the long awaited third child/star princess. Her hottie father and two brothers are devoted and doting on her but they are also too overprotective and crazy about her. The male family members are also arrogant murderous psychos who would look down on anyone or anyone they just don't like especially when they are too close to the princess. The ML is a sad brooding simp. Many other characters are at the mercy of the tyrannical family.
For me this story is so glamorized and pretentious because everything in the plot revolve around Enisha being super shiny cute, being envied by anyone, getting superspoiled, being targeted, chased + desired by many men and how bloodthirsty talented superior the Emperor and his sons are.
That character has it too good. The elitist Princess has already everything.
The story about Charlotte has more interesting side-supporting characters who are not subservient or only focusing on a royal family. I think the disciples/other main characters are more endearing and complex. There are much more stronger girls and women. The power balance is more diversivied instead of being concentrated on an imperial family. I like MC Charlotte because she is a no-nonsense mature empathetic calm witty kickassing independent badass/weirdo who struggles to live her second life and find+experience love.
How would you describe Charlotte :)
