Prince and Sword

Reviewed by JuliaAerides

Genre - One shot, Historical, Romance


Chen is a swords-women assigned to protect the life of Anli who is on the run from his brother - the tyrannical King Hwan. On a treacherous journey to request aid from his uncle, King Shana of Aragon, Chen discovers that sometimes the truth is not what it appears to be.

As a one shot, there isn't much to elaborate upon. The premise of the plot is very promising and intriguing. However, there is much to be improved. Quite a lot of the plot of what I imagined to be a great storyline was not expanded, leaving the readers with question marks ~ "What thats it?!!"

The romance implied  between Anli and Chen was practically non-existent as the plot ended abruptly as things was getting started. The art was reasonable and I was able to distinguish between the different characters. This manga has potential if only the plot was further extended.
