This manga is beyond frustrating. I feel so bad for the female lead in this manga; I've read my fair share of manga with pushy characters that force the main character into roles and situations that make them uncomfortable but I've never read a manga where EVERY character has those traits. Genuinely there is not a single character in this manga that actually cares about what the female lead WANTS, no one cares at all about what's she's been through and they are SO dismissive of her feelings. I have no idea why the author thinks showing the readers how badly she suffered through those ... lessons; her crying during punishment, having no friends, and losing all her interests would make us want her to end up back in that same position, especially when we find out that the prince implies he knows "everything about her" yet does nothing to help for the 10 years she's suffers.

I genuinely had to check who the author of this was because I was so shocked by the treatment of the women in this manga and how honestly sexist some of the characters act at points. The best way the manga could of gone was if it ended Chapter 1, 1 page before the prince finds her again.

If you are into male characters that completely disregard everything you want and only care about themselves and female characters that will change their entire personality and world view because a guy pressures her, this is the manga for you.

"I want freedom" "It's it about time you gave that up"

I recently found this manga was getting an anime, it seemed right up my alley so I checked out the manga only to find I had already put it into my list years ago. Why did I rate it so low? It looked like something I'd enjoy!? I cautiously checked out the manga to find out this story weaponizes all of it's troupes in the worst possible way.

Leticia very clearly does not want to be in a relationship with Crown Prince Clarke. For the past 10, torturous years, she has sent him romance partners ... to try to get him to fall in love with someone else so she could leave. She hates the stuffy atmosphere in the castle and wants to leave and live free as soon as possible. And yet when given that chance the prince, her brother, and a woman who is just kind of there (not to mention every other person in the manga) stops her continuously because the price is in love with her.

I don't care that the prince is in love with her. She didn't notice him for 10 years and is desperate to escape. This does not make a cute dynamic, This does not make a fun dynamic. This just makes me feel sorry for her. I want her to escape and yet I know she will eventually fall in love with him and stay in the castle and theoretically that could be done tastefully but this is not the way to go about it.

Ultimately I find this hard to read as it's all about forcing a woman to marry a prince she is not in love with in a situation she is desperate to escape. And even worse, it constantly focuses on how much she doesn't want to be there for the sake of "comedy". Skip this one.
