Pacing is very fast, almost concerningly so, but an unexpected twist kept my attention. Julius seems interesting. I like Alek with his determination and second lead-ness, but his brother Aaron could come off creepy, real “I’m a nice guy” vibes. Freya cries a lot, but she changes into the prince persona like a charm. I don’t believe she’s that good of an actor, so it feels so out of character for her to look confident so easily.

Very little is explained here, so the worldbuilding feels nonexistent. Because it's the first volume, I'm going to let the jerky pace and the lack of strong character personality (i.e, flatness) slide. I don’t know about this series, but I’ll read volume 2. 

The artwork is simply beautiful, but the pacing is too fast. Rangetsu is already ready to throw hands and kill for the prince. I liked the focus on some of the side characters.

Oh, wow. Everything about this manga is so adorably cute. I loved the artwork, the sign language, and the international club. It’s also nice to get a story centered around college students. 

Itsuomi (love-interest dude) is so tall and a lover of languages. Right now, Yuki, the main character, is just a girl who’s like “why my heart beating like this!?!” lol. But I’m interested in learning more about her. She has such a hyper-focus on the smoothness, elegance, and size of Itsuomi’s hands. Of course, she has to look at them when he’s trying to sign to her, but you can tell when it stops being from necessity to more of a peaked interest.

I didn’t know sign language users could’ve their own distinct styles. In the story, Yuki comments how some characters sign very sharply or strongly. That makes sense. People when they talk have their own distinct styles, so, of course, that applies in all types of communication.

Overall, I’m super excited to read more. <3 At the end is an interview from the author team, and I’m pleased at the time, research, and care they’ve put into this story thus far.

aw snap, I already see a love triangle forming. Childhood best friend rarely, if ever, wins. Oushi should give up, but I kind of think they would be cute together too. Itsuomi’s just more direct.

 The ending’s a bit rushed, but I thought the story was so charming and quirky. 

 The story’s still fresh and crispy like a new bag of chips. We add another addition to the family who’s just as fun. I love how much Anya loves her family and fights to keep them together. There’s also a nice tidbit that touches on the realities of war. 

So saving the world all comes down to a white girl.
