Amazing manga you can read again and againFeb 04, 2006
By Maddiemook I loved this manga. It's somehow different from others, maybe a little in the artwork (stunning) but mostly in the way it is written.
There are no holes in the plot as the story wraps up each loose ends as it progresses. The emotions woven into the story are so real and intense that it is impossible to put down. The sad parts make you cry and the happy reunions make you feel as if you're really there.
One more great thing about this manga: While it is about a Japanese schoolgirl, It's not about her school life. She has been transported to an ancient empire. the change of scenery in a manga is refreshing. It's nice to have a manga for once that is not about high school romance, but about a genuine prince that is impossible not to love!
My review can't do this series justice-you'll have to read it for yourself. Trust me, it's worth the money.

why so much?Oct 25, 2010
By J. Banks the series is wonderful and i love it. i came across it and was missing 2 volumes. when i was looking for volume 9 i noticed it was the only volume that wasso expensive. all other volumes you can find used for under 5 dollars but the cheapest ive seen volume 9 was 23 dollars. I have yet to find any cheaper anywhere on the internet and have yet to find an answer to why this volume is so much. i gave it 4 stars for the wonderful series but missing a star for this volumes wierdness in price. if you have anyideas im welcome to it. but do read this manga.
