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.
