The Prince Doesn’t Cry From Mere Onions

Ongoing | | 2022 released

50/ Not your typical shoujo fantasy story. This one commits to a medival post-war setting and takes the time to explore its setting and characters. FL is this somewhat world hardened yet optimistic country girl while ML hides a genuine heart under a dark fassade. They come from two different worlds but are brought together because they're openminded and sincere in their feelings, which is really sweet. I really like that ML doesn't drag FL out of her cottage-core lifestyle into high society but participates in her life instead. Not only does he have good reason to, but it's a nice twist on your typical cinderella plot if you think about it. A lot of romance fantasy stories tend to ignore the culture of small town folk and commoners to focus on shiny high society and what not, so it's nice to see it explained and shown so much here.
