Secret of the Princess · review
secret of the princess is a beautiful and sweeping princess x princess love story set in an all girls school (。• ̫ •。)♡ omg the characters r super cute and realistic and the milk morinaga art is literally gorgeous (╥ ̫ ╥)♡ idk how i’ve never read any of her manga before now cause this is literally the shoujo, yuri im constantly looking for more of. even though it's only one volume i felt like i rlly got to know the fashionable, princess-like miu and the cool but kind of dorky fujiwara within these 7 chapters. im (mostly) femme and half ofmy outfits r j-fashion inspired so i loveeeeed miu’s cute himekaji coords :D her chapter 2 going out outfit was my favorite !
it’s crazy how natural this manga’s dialogue and pacing felt like all the emotions and the drama made sense for where the characters were at during that section of the story. also loved the references to cinderella and mentions of princesses, princes, and fairy tales :)
*slight spoilers*
ahhhh the last scene in chapter 4 really made this a 10/10 for me (╥ ̫ ╥)♡ the scene is executed so well like miu’s nervous yet emotion filled rambling and fujiwara’s initial surprise turned into reassuring smile feels soooo in character for both of them. the beautiful morinaga art rlly just heightens the scene too.
*end of slight spoilers*
so yea, if ur looking for a short shoujo, yuri with cute and realistic characters and beautiful art i def recommend this manga :D after reading this i will def look into more of morinaga’s manga cause i adored everything about secret of the princess \(。☆ ▽ ☆。)/
