In this delightful shoujo, a princess of the stars comes down to be a manga assistant for an artist struggling to take care of his family. He finds her beautiful and scarily talented, but one thing he didn't expect to find her as was his fiance! Suddenly engaged by accidentally starting an alien ritual, they have to juggle their work, their growing feelings, and figure out how to undo the engagement... or if they even want to. 

I'll admit, this manga had me kicking my feet a little sometimes. The art was gorgeous all around, but it was also just so cute! I loved the uncommon dynamic and all of the characters were so heartwarming. I think the pacing was a little fast with regards to their romance, but it'll be interesting to see where they go from here given the end of volume 1, and I'll definitely be continuing!
