Description

The powerful kingdom of Sigurd has slowly been conquering all the lands that share its borders, and now it has turned its voracious attention to the small, resource-rich Tyr. Tyr cannot hope to match Sigurd in strength, so in order to survive, it must rely on the intelligence, skill and cunning of its prince and his loyal knights. But should their prince fall, so too shall Tyr…

Freya thinks of herself as a simple village girl, but her idyllic life is shattered when she is caught up in the aftermath of a treacherous Sigurdian plot. She bears a striking resemblance to her country’s beloved Prince Edvard, who lays dying from poison. Without its ruler, all of Tyr will quickly be engulfed by Sigurdian violence. Now Freya must take Prince Edvard’s place and lead his valiant knights in defending the realm!

This was very good. Not only did I enjoy the art style, but I also enjoyed the story and the characters. I can’t wait for the second installment.

My second ever manga to review and this one is amazing! I'm intrigued to see how Freya manages to overcome her insecurities in order to better imitate Prince Edvard. The Prince and Freya both look similar and she's been tricked (sort of) into playing his role when he dies unexpectedly. Freya's friends Alek and Aaron come to visit after being way. Freya is beyond excited to see them again and it even seems like Aaron has romantic feelings for her. And then everything goes unexpectedly to hell xD. Freya is attacked by soldiers of an enemy kingdom but thankfully Aaron steps in to save her. She is taken the Prince Edvard's castle hold where she runs into him, ultimately setting off the events that lead her to take over his personality. I don't want to give away too much but it was a great read!

Keiko Ishihara's art is stunning, and she gives so many expressions to the heroine it's very nice to see. Freya is from a small village and her two child hood friends come to visit and protect her rather than take her like they had been ordered too. Freya is a crybaby but she starts to grow a little by the end of the chapter having her world tossed upside down and having to be someone that she is not. There's secrets wrapped around Freya and her mother that leaves you wanting to know what else is going on. I can't wait to get my hands on the second installment to see what else Freya is going to get into and watch her grow and her child hood friend.
