Thank you Net Galley and Mika Sakurano for the free copy of this book in exchange with an honest review!

This is my first time ever reading a manga and I have to admit, I enjoyed it so much! It was a bit of an adjustment at first, reading from right to left and not the opposite, but I got the hang of it and it didn't bother me at all after the first couple of pages!

The story was very fun and entertaining and it ended in a cliff hanger and I was like: "Where's the next volume???" It really left me wondering what will happen next and to be honest, what happened at the end was something I was wishing to happen from the start and that's mainly why I'm so anxious and excited to get my hands on the second volume as well!

As far as characters go, I didn't fully relate to Yua-chan but that didn't mean that I didn't enjoy the manga! Marrying your teacher is something that you don't see often but it also adds originality to the story and I liked it a lot, because it spiced up the plot and led to many funny and embarrassing moments for Yua and Sensei. I believe that I didn't relate as much as I hoped to Yua-chan is due to the fact that the character development wasn't complete, since there are more volumes to read. I'm sure that if I read more about her and how she delt with being married to her teacher, I would be able to fully understand her and her motives.

All in all, "The Lion and the Bride" is an exciting manga with original and fun characters, that will definitely keep your interest and have you want more after you finish!
