I was really disappointed in this manga. When I read the back and the first few pages, I thought, "Hmm. A real historical setting with demons and gods thrown in? Interesting."
It was NOT really interesting. Seto's falling in love with Marie was apparently supposed to go without saying (I really wouldn't have guessed he had if it weren't so predictable from the start), and so were her feelings for the prince. The characters were all really dull, and there wasn't much plot. Most importantly, it was very silly and immature, when I had thought by the setting that it would be slightly more serious and ... historically authentic. I prefer a touch of solemnity to something that's supposed to foreshadow a tragedy. It wasn't just silly, it was silly in a painfully cheesy, stupid way, and it was really, really boring.
I don't think it's worth the time to read, and definitely not worth the money to buy.

I feel that the plot fell flat. There was so much more that could have happened. Marie a baroness falls in love with Prince Rudolph. Marie is a goofy, cheerful, blundering character. She gives you a small smile. However her obsession with Rudolph turns my stomach, and makes her a one sided character. She's too busy with Rudolph to receive any real character depth.

One day she manages to set free a god who has been imprisoned within a book. Seto the god who is released, ends up being released as a demon, under the control of Baphomet. Baphomet's only command is that he needs to ... make the person whom he releases him from the book suffer. However Seto is eternally greatful and instead ends up trying to help her receive happiness from Rudolph.

Seto is a fantastic male character. However because the main character is so stuck only wanting one thing he doesn't get to do much. Overall the art is pretty... I liked the different clothes, it was a nice change. But I feel it was too stifled and the plot should have been more free flowing.
