The plot and art aren't quite as compelling as Bride's Story, but it's fun to see where she started. Plus I'm a sucker for sappy love stories.

No es malo, sólo que no me enganchó nada. No acabé de conectar con los personajes, y me pareció una historia muy simple. No creo que continúe.

There better be a happy ending!

Love the characters. I hope the story ends well for the two of them.

Gorgeously illustrated manga set in Victorian London? I'm all in! I only wish all of the collected volumes were out.

This was cute!! I really enjoyed the Victorian setting. I think I only gave this three stars because of the fact that there wasn't much development; however, I'm sure that will change as I begin to read future volumes. I think the artwork is good and I love that it's tackling social issues specifically in the realm of status in society and who can marry who. It reminds me so much of a Jane Austen novel and that's probably why I'm enjoying it so much. I definitely already have volume 2 & 3 checked out from the library.

ahhhh, the fantasy of Edwardian/Victorian UK life is so extreme, but it's also sort of fascinating to read it as a kaleidoscope mirror of what signifiers come through about the exotified English Other.

Bien. Mais légèrement simplet. Les dessins sont jolis mais certains personnages se ressemble trop.
L'ambiance victorienne est bien retranscrite.
Les postface sont adorable
