Hello there, are you feeling under the weather? Recovering from illness, perhaps? Or maybe you just need a smile? Then Ookami-heika no Hanayome is what you need!
This series is 80% fluff/20% plot, but it's very good fluff and the plot makes absolute sense in a court politics sense. It just takes very long to take off, so you're left with the quality fluff for about 40 chapters. But, hey, people that can't take 40 chapters of pure romance have no business reading shoujo manga.
The premise is a classic shoujo story-type, even if some of the characters are more modern (the tsundere prince is not that common of a character), the setting is a generic feudal east-asia type of country which is very slowly fleshed out and the stories aren't anything very original, but, goddess, they're sweet and entertaining. It gets progressively sweeter and more original, as time (and chapters) passes and then it hits you with the plot. But talking about that would be spoiling.
As for the characters, Yuurin (Yuu Lin?) is all I dislike about a lead: naive, hard-working, innocent, no idea what it means when you get the hots near a guy, even less idea of what it means to be a consort. Yet, somehow, her ways are endearing instead of ennerving. I root for her.
Reishou, the Wolf King, is a very special kind of romantic hero. He's a guy that keeps an incredibly complex facade going all the time, regardless of who is with him. A complex character, slightly dark, very intelligent and absolutely conscious of how much his relationship with Yuurin ("acting" or not) is a whole bunch of indulgence.
The art starts as regular shoujo fare, but gains genuine style after some 20 chapters. By chapter 40 the narrative is fluid enough you won't feel the pages turning. Also, the men are pretty, which is *required* for this kind of story.

Recommended for shoujo fans and people that need to smile. ^^
