Adarshan no Hanayome

Contrary to the summary, the overall plot has very little to do with the relationship between the girl and the prince, it more focuses on the politics of a faltering monarchy. Even the end doesn't really tell much about their feelings, and when your done, it leaves you with a feeling of dissatisfaction. I would recommend looking for a different manga if you want a good romance.

Well this is actually me first review even though i have been on MAL for nearly a year back to the topic. The manga is one i quite enjoyed and actually hoped it continuied as it is quite good. the story has very good pontential but it is not exploited.

Story
the story is well set and if the aurthor wished this manga could have been turned into something like 20 chapters at least. the story is too open ended at the end but never the less it is still amazing. the story has a lot of untaped pontentials if they were brought out this would be at least a 9 if not 10 for the score

Art
i am not a art person but i believe the characters are all well drawn as there was a cover picture of the princess in an older form and her younger form and you can tell with only thr face alone. i didnt have problems recognising people like i do in other manga.

Character
The main characters' fears and joys are expressed very well and you can fell for them. i mean the princess is engaged to someone who she hates with a passion. this passion is brought out of the character in such a way that someone her age would do but yet she still has a air of maturity round her so we know she IS a princess. Alexid is not really bother by the engagement as he has other things he fear (will not go into details as i think it is a spoiler) this fear it part of the main story and is brough out very well.

Enjoyment
i absolutly enjoyed this but i really wished it continued till she was much grown up so that the fact that she is a child no longer hinders them. i also like the king although i would have liked to know the plan he was planning for Alexid

Overall
i loved it but it only lasted 8 chapters which is a pain as i read it all in under two hours

This manga was short, touching and sweet. The main character is viewed as a horrible monster but due to a political arrangement marries a 10 year old princess from the neighboring country to maintain peace between the kingdoms. From that point on the view of the black knight is changed and he is quite likable throughout the series.. The animation was nothing out of the ordinary but pleasurable. I liked the characters though due to the length weren't indulged in too much which was a bummer.

This manga talks about a prince having a nine-year old as his future wife. The manga can develop, plot-wise. Personally, it ended too abruptly for me. The art was very good. This make reading it a little more enjoyable. The characters, especially the main hero, developed and matured nicely. It is an enjoyable manga, but not one where you would want to read over and over again. Overall, it was fairly good manga, though there are better romance, shoujo manga than this.

~Story~
The story is about a ten year old princess who is forced into a political marriage with a prince who happens to be an illegitimate child of the previous king. At first it’s a rough relationship, the princess is stubborn and refuses to admit her budding friendship with her new husband. There are hints at a political plot, I noticed that the politics were really not a big plot in the story, it was light, nothing overly confusing.
Was the story good? Yes, it was. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of plots very similar to this one in the respects that political marriage mangas are quite common. However, it took that idea, twisted it around until it became something else. Completely unique? No, it was very clique but it made up for that with the all around cuteness (Oh god I can’t believe I just used that word) but thats exactly what the manga was, cute.
The manga wasn’t deep, the romance was nonexistent (Come on...she’s ten what do you expect?) The political parts were kept light and didn’t overpower the relationship between the two protagonists.
~Art~
The art was actually pretty good, it flowed nicely, nothing was overdone to a point where it was unrealistic. The characters were drawn nicely, they were beautiful but not overly done. The scenery was alright, I personally didn’t pay too much attention to what the tree’s looked like because I was so caught up in the story. Is it the best? No absolutely not but it is good art and its certainly worth taking a look at.
~Characters~
Alexid “Alec” was the black sheep of the manga, he was hated by some because of his skills in battle, they called him a demon. Throughout the manga you could see what he had to go through because of his heritage, he is the illegitimate child to the late king. At first he gets into a lot of fights with Justinia (The princess/His wife) however his affection for her grows rather quickly as he sees her child like wonder.
Justinia was the princess forced to marry Alexid in order for the alliance between the two nations to be complete. At first she had Alexid (I’ll try not to spoil it) because he indirectly took someone from her, she however realizes that although she thought he was a monster that he is just lonely.
The king is the one character that didn’t change much, you understood more of him as it went along but he never changed as a person. At first it appears the king very much hates his brother Alexid but eventually you realize he does indeed love him but was simply trying to protect him by staying away.
There are other characters but i don’t want to spoil it so i will leave them a mystery.
~Overall~
Overall? This manga was not the best i have ever read, it was made to be light and easy to read, something that made a smile sneak onto you face, it was not make you think or to be dramatic and a big thing. It flows easily and is easy to read, nothing goes unexplained for long periods of time. The characters don’t grow a lot but this manga didn’t require them to, their feelings grew but their personalities didn’t. The plot was good, it would have been a mistake to make the manga serious and overly political, they did a good job on keeping it very innocent.
Would i advise it? Yes but not if you’re looking for something with a huge plot and a lot of heavy material, this is a light and very innocent manga. If you’re looking for something that makes you grin a bit then i suggest this wholeheartedly.

Even though on onemanga.com they only have up to chapter 3 out, I really enjoy this manga! The art is wonderful and I've already fallen in love with the Prince! *faints* The characters are mysterious and makes you want to know more about the story. And it is an interesting tale!

Summary:: To settle a war between 2 rival countries, The Prince of one land must marry The Princess of the rival land. Only problem? She's only 10!!

:D It's really good so far and I can't wait to see what happens next!!

From a romance lover point of view, I'd say that the romance here is near 0. In fact, I'm still wondering up until now why this is tagged as romance given the fact that there is only a chapter left for it to end. Though it's given that way, I really do enjoy reading this manga.

The story took place in a fantasy kingdom where there is war. And to avoid more bloodshed, a treaty has been agreed upon by the two kingdoms involved - marriage. Indeed, the prince and the princess of the opposing countries then got themselves in a political marriage. Sounds familiar, right? But their edge on this kind of "rusty" plot is the age of the princess - she's just 10 years old. The grade I've given to the story is 8 which is pretty high. The reason behind that is not because I have a thing for lolicons (which is the exact opposite, thank you very much) but rather for the phasing of the story. The princess is just 10 years old and with that age, the love/affection she's showing to the other party is considerable of her age.

I find it hard to judge the art simply because I talk IT in me. I am in no position to judge whatsoever since I am not someone who can magnificently draw something. Obviously, since it's a good drawing... I easily give it a 10.

For the character, I have given it a perfect 10 simply because character development is very much present. Moreover, the development of characters is neither rapid nor slow considering the length of the manga which is 2 volumes only. Because of this, the manga is really amazing and it won't bore you out.

As I've stated above, I really enjoy reading this manga. It's such a shame that there isn't much romantic development between the main characters. But I guess, I wouldn't be able to take it if there's much on romance considering the age of the lead female character. Also, I find it refreshing to read since this 10 year old girl can act maturely, still with consideration of her age of course!

The overall score is 9/10.
