When Louis is called back to the palace by a strange twist of fate to take his father's place on the throne, Eva must decide whether to let him go or follow.
Review:
This is a sweet, kawaii-ful manga. It's nothing that really strays from your shoujo formula but it's done fairly well. The protagonist isn't especially exceptional nor is she annoying so I can't complain.
Male leads on the other hand is cute, lovable and hot. He's definitely belongs on some bishie list and I oggled over him as I read this.
I kind of wish the mangaka had the opportunity to expand on this story line since this had a lot of potential. Though putting my fangirl tendencies aside, it's mediocre at best.
Spoiler (but I don't think it is really):
Some people were complaining about how old the character was (like she was 110 years old) and how she acted like a "teenager". It's ridiculous to say that when it's published in LaLa magazine, which is shoujo mind you. Their demographic are tweens and older teens (deluded shoujo fans aka me) so to open up a magazine like this an expect a 12 year old to appreciate the wise teachings of a 100 year old witch is absurd. That's why I can understand why she acts young for her age. Guys don't nearly get as much flack as girls do.
