lilithespark's manga / #Shoujo(174)

Once upon a time, there was a simple girl named Aristia from the noble House of Monique. She was groomed to become the empress of the Castina Empire. She watched and fell in love with the stone-hearted prince from afar. But one day, her future is stripped away when an otherworldly girl appears. Aristia’s life comes crashing down piece by piece. Perhaps she wasn’t the one of the prophecy after all? When her miserable life finally comes to end by execution, she suddenly wakes up as her ten year-old self! What will she do with this new chance to change her destiny once and for all? Review: The art is always a main variable in determining whether how fit a comic is as a whole to your tastes. As for mine? I would like to think that they are pretty refined because of conditioning from other books I’ve read that have impacted my standards for novels and comics alike. The art is aesthetically pleasing to look at. Besides that, the plot is fairly interesting. I anticipate what Aristia’s new future looks like. I give the artist(s) props for drawing such an ornate comic such as this one. Overall, I feel that this comic deserves the five stars. Comment: Soo.... There’s a love triangle. Wait-no. A love square. You know what? I don’t freaking know. There are just so many potential love interests. You know that feeling that you’re so hellbent on? That feeling when this thought is constantly running through your mind-“If this ship isn’t cannon, I swear to the gods-“ Yeah, that feeling. A ship can either make it or break it for me. If I don’t like the main couple, then I’ll surely have trouble reading it, whether it be a manga, comic, novel, or fanfic. I ship the protagonist with the prince. I believe that people can change, so the prince is the new timeline isn’t the same as the one in the old one. I feel like they just-CLICK! You know what I’m sayin’? Like they were destined to be one another. Update: OH MY FREAKING GODS! I FREAKING KNEW IT! THE MALE LEAD IS THE PRINCE! HELL YEAH!!! MY READER’S INTUITION IS NEVER WRONG! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (｀∀´)Ψ P.S: Left off on chapter 129.

Review: I love the relationship developed between her siblings. Chapter 2 was my favorite chapter for that reason. I love her character and how romance isn’t a priority. Things aren’t overshadowed by it. The story is truly beautiful. 10/10. One of the best isekais I’ve read. I love the system aspect of this. It’s unique compared to other isekai. The art is also— *chef’s kiss* I really hope the crown prince didn’t die.... （πーπ) Update: he's ok thank the gods it was just her being worried Update: Okay, this is truly unlike any other shoujo I have read. The story isn't black and white. Even the "typical" MLs all have their own motivations and don't act purely out of affection for Penelope. i absolutely adore the complex relationships Penelope has with all of the love interests, especially Callisto and Eckles. Even her relationship with her brothers is extremely nuanced. *cough* Derrick. We can't forget to mention her father and maid as well. The art is freaking gorgeous and consistent. It conveys everything so well. I need to thank the author so much for existing because this is such a freaking masterpiece.

Ianna and Arhad were alike in numerous ways—their passion for the sword and their obsession with each other. Rivals that could not live without the other, almost like their other half: these phrases could be used to describe their relationship. However, that could not possibly verbalize how their entangled fates looked like. Ianna died with no regrets at the sword of her enemy, Arhad, the emperor. No regrets? No. . . Perhaps she did have one. In another life, if Ianna was granted one—she would serve by his side until she met her end once again. After her death, she opens her eyes to find herself back in her old life, alive and breathing as her sixteen year-old self. What will Ianna do with this chance to fulfill her promise to her soul’s counterpart? Review: The art is splendid, and yes. I am talking about both art styles, but I have to admit I think that Arhad looked more attractive in the previous art style. Regardless of art style, I am thoroughly enjoying the storyline and watching the characters. This world is filled to the brim with intricate details and mythology, magic, and discovery. I’m addicted to it. This comic definitely deserves the four stars! (*￣▽￣)ノ”(^ー^*) Comment: why is the fire sprit so friggin cute?!! (｀ε´)
