“I read the novel and…” Are These Real Spoilers? Maybe not

Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of comments and reblogs on posts with “spoilers” from the novels of popular novel-turned-mangas/comics/animes and I wanted to comment on this growing trend. I didn’t think it needed to be said before, but as a reminder: Each version of the story (novel, manga, and/or anime) becomes its own story. I have, as I’m sure all of us have at some … Continue reading “I read the novel and…” Are These Real Spoilers? Maybe not

The Obelian Royal Family and Magic

This is a topic I’m revisiting after my first theory about the royal family’s magic was shown to be dismally wrong (I said that it might be light and black magic in my post, The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir). But what is their magic?  Well, let’s review what we know so far:  1. Strong magicians are said to “freeze” their hearts because emotions can cause them … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family and Magic

Taking Too Long: A Review and Critique of Daughter of the Emperor

I remember finding Daughter of the Emperor about a year ago and reading late into the night to catch up on the 80+ (maybe even 100+ at that point) chapters that were already out. I loved it then–but now its been a year and I’m growing impatient. Let’s jump into why: The story begins much like other reincarnated-as-a-princess stories of the isekai genre–in childhood. Daughter … Continue reading Taking Too Long: A Review and Critique of Daughter of the Emperor

Side Note for Light & Shadow Series

A lingering question I have following the series… I wonder why no one considered Edna to be a bastard child or hidden daughter of King Ducaine. I mean, the story was easily set up for the possibility of Edna being viewed as a lost twin to Edan when a few characters recognize her as identical to “Prince Edan,” like Kain and McFadden never reach this … Continue reading Side Note for Light & Shadow Series

Spirit King Elqueeness: Review, Analysis, & A Plea for More

Please like and share this post! Currently unlicensed in English (BUT NEEDS TO BE). You can see the Korean version here. According to the baka-updates, the manga has over 100 chapters out and according to me, this series deserves more attention, more love, and more translations!

The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia, Revisited

If you’re reading this, you might have already read some of my many other posts on Who Made Me A Princess, particularly the post I made on Claude and Athanasia’s father-daughter dynamic. In this analysis, I want to discuss how their relationship is shifting in the opening chapters of Season 2.  Last time, I said that I thought Claude’s personality was appearing in Athanasia, “This aside, … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia, Revisited

Theory: Athanasia’s Request

theanimeview: theanimeview: In chapter 45 we see the hint of something Athanasia asked Claude for–I believe that she asked for a portrait of them together. Here is why: First, in chapter 45, we see what is very likely to be the feet of an aisle twice:  I haven’t seen much discussion about the gift before, but that’s my theory. I bet that as season 2 … Continue reading Theory: Athanasia’s Request

Chapter 47

Okay, holy smokes. I just read chapter 47 and how shocking!  Claude is suddenly acting all cold like he was in the book, and I wonder if it’s because he lost a good amount of magic or because of some curse that has been hinted to earlier. It might be a while before we find out completely, but–in the meantime–let’s look at the imagery of … Continue reading Chapter 47
