Very ordinary short stories. Normally when see short stories being serialized in one book, they would have a common theme or common /repetitive facial characteristics. This one was a contrast to the norm.

All the stories were rushed and very forgettable. I would say that the first one was the best and most satisfying one. Other than that, less than average.

The 3rd part of the Princess series and the Kidnapped King..
This sequel is on as good as the first one, but the problem is that the repetitive nature of the story is getting boring. Same attitude by the men who fell in love with the first sight and the women are so stupid that they are swept away from their feet when they are being praised!
In addition, It is interesting that we see a child being featured in almost every single story and most of the time he/she is being raised by a single parent!!

Finally, this kingdom is such a lousy kingdom that they don't have good detectives investigating the disappearance of the king and all efforts to find the kidnapped kings is being made by his family members.
Surely, the kings daughter will not by sharp the lead investigator of the case!

The hormones of teenage high schoolers are not something that I'm familiar with. This manga depicts the life of 4 teenage boys who are exploring their sexuality.
They are moody, full of hormones, angry and exploring every single position and they want to experiment.
Not my style but it was entertaining enough to finish it

I'm surprised! in spite of the cliche, I liked it and read it as soon as I finished my first read! Yuki, an alpha male host who speaks his mind in addition to holding himself very well, works in a club called (Your princess), isn't it supposed to be (your princes?). One night where he was taking a customer for dinner, he meets the handsome Sakaki when some of Sakakai Hosts attach a co-worker of Yuki. It seems the formidable and the Yakuza heir has was captured by Yuki's handsome looks and the way he carries himself. Their relationship takes a toll when Yuki gets an anonymous letter with pictures of Sakaki holding and kissing different men. He gets angry and lash at Sakaki telling him that he doesn't sleep for fun. The second event comes into place when Yuki decided to break up with Sakaki in order for Sakakai to succeed without any complications or embarrassment. Both of which cements their relationship and I would say the final scene, where both of them meet the leader and Sakaki introduces Yuki as the person who would spend his life with is the climax. Such strong scene is worth the read. The supporting cast was great and all of them, added an additional layer to the story in addition to some comedy relief. On the other hand, the drawings are not up to the bar, it seems that the facial features lack additional lines as they seem washed out!

Fate has a mystery way to reunite long lost friends, family members and even lovers.

A promising high school students, who had the opportunity to enroll in a great University vanishes for 4 years. He left everything behind him including his Lover.
He spends his years being a bartender in a bar and offering his body as well. He doesn't demand any money, but it seems that this is how he deals with a stressful situation of he wants to lay off some steam.

Then, he meets him !!

What a notable portray of a man who is afraid of commitments and facing his own emotion, a man who runs away! It is easier, less painful and there is no need to talk! We see how under the persuasion of his lover, their communication methods have changed which made them realize how empty their lives when they were not able to share together!

We are still investigating the kidnap of the King and this sequel involves the No1 suspect, the king's nephew.
Compared to the Part1, this was better in terms of character development, mystery levels and even the pace of the events. So far, we have no idea who kidnapped the king, but a suspect was eliminated and a confirmation on the king being alive have been established.

So, the baby princess of the royal has returned and not only that. She is still lusting over the counsel to the King.
The princess is smart, courageous and had changed to be a very capable woman, but there is a secret.

This was full of cliches which didn't prevent me from enjoying this nevertheless. The princess was my least fav character, she is too irresponsible for her own good!

Interconnecting stories where the main sitting is the mansion where high-class prostitutes -called Hana- entertain the nobility and royalty. These high-class male prostitutes have a great privilege due to their associations with the high-class society in Alexxa, but they have obligations. One of those is not be loved by anybody but to choose patrons who look after them.

We meet Tubsaki, a boy who is currently the main Hana of Rose mansion. His heartbreak to have taken a patron other than his lover is breaking his spirit, however, he is a man with a high sense of responsibility that he won't run away but he will ensure that pain of being embraced by somebody other than his lover.
Then, we meet a younger Hana-to be, who falls in love with a Japanese man! Problems arise because he has a patron ready for his debut!
Another perspective is when see a master of a beautiful Hana dying and leaving his Hana to his heir!

Finally, we see a deal that has been struck between 2 nobles where one noble has to pay with his body in exchange for money.

I loved the story concept and I was eager to read this manga, However, I felt quite disappointed. All stories felt short or in another term, they lacked the completion feel. It is a shame that mangaka vision was not translated in her stories. However, the drawings were very beautiful and elegant.

A very weird tale of misfortune in Korea just before the end of WW2.
The story lacks the smooth transition from a scene to another. In addition, it was too long. I think 3 chapters would be more than enough to resolve this family unrealistic drama!

The ending where we see the truth behind the 2 brother was not handled very good, it was a disappointment! Furthermore, the drawings were really not my taste but the designs of the clothes and the city landmarks were good.

Nothing spectacular. The pace of events was fast and I expected when we reach the moment of climax, everything will be resolved. however, it was not.
Additionally, Grabe looked a teenager and it is totally unrealistic for somebody to go from being a president to suddenly turn fisherman considering his savvy investment?
How about Andrea? She used have an important executive job and now, she is happy being a fisherman wife!
