Side notes: This manga has a diverse acceptance among readers. On MAL people give it barely a score that takes it into a good manga realm while on Baka the score is clearly higher. The art for this manga is on a good level though there are times when it's too plain and simplistic but I like the chibi moment so it's okay for me. The story is also promising with a lil comedy twisted into it. But... we have to have a but...when we get to character introductions the good vibe just pofs off and it takes a bit more effort to get back on the good pacing. Still anyow it's pretty fun to read but I'm not sure is it "a great manga" yet.^-^

P:S The Princes statuses and ages don't match on the manga so don't mind those. Also Reed's name changes suddenly into Licht (light in German).
