Current online bestseller in Korea! Boy Princess is a pulse-quickening tale of swords and sorcery, far-away kingdoms, and the fairest princess in all the land. Except?this is a fairy tale with a twist. When a prince's soon-to-be-bride elopes two days before their wedding, her desperate family dress up their young son and send him to get married in her place. With his deep blue eyes and flowing blond hair (and strategically placed apples), nobody bats an eye at the pretty pubescent standing before them. But how long can he keep up the charade? Despite the odds stacked against them, the two princes share adventures and intimacies in a story filled with imagination and visual delight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected., September 3, 2006

This review is from: Boy Princess Vol. 1 (Paperback)

I originally read this story off the Netcomics.com website. Boy Princess is one of the most unique romance tales I've read in a long time and I mean "unique" in a good way. Volume 1 begins the tale of Nicole, a young boy prince forced by a freak set of circumstances to impersonate his sister Princess Elena and marry a foreign prince to maintain peace between two nations. There's no doubt about it, this novel is definitely aimed at a certain market. For those with an open mind, you'll find in Boy Princess, Volume 1, a very new twist on medieval-era romance. This story will appeal to those who like Romance, Comedy and Drama. Make no mistake, there are Action sequences, but that's not really the main focus here. The writer has a very easy style to read and the interaction/relationship between the two princes is very well thought-out. I found myself enjoying the story a lot more than I had expected. Boy Princess, Volume 1 has a certain charm that sneaks up on you and before you know it, you find yourself very curious about what's going to happen next in later volumes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The cutest shonen-ai title!, February 22, 2006

This review is from: Boy Princess Vol. 1 (Paperback)

If you are a shonen-ai fan, you just gotta read this.
The book's unique drawings first caught my eyes and the plotline was the second thing that interested me. This book is about a teenage boy (Prince Nicole) falling in love with an older guy (Prince Jed) not even know that he is. The naive boy gets married to another guy! only to save his kingdom. Why? his sister runs away with some poor guy just a few days before her arranged marriage is to take place!
I'm not the biggest shonen-ai book fan but I give Boy Princess two thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised at how good it was!, November 19, 2006

Angel "Sunshine Review" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boy Princess Vol. 1 (Paperback)

For a long time, I didn't bother picking up this title because of all the negative reviews it got. But one day, I was browsing through Barnes & Noble and though "what the heck." Well, needles to say, I was surprised at how GOOD it was. I mean, I had to suppress my laughter, and was thoroughly enjoying myself (amid all other readers). The art seemed, roughly put, ugly at first, but after getting into the story, I got so used to it that I began to see the beauty of the characters. From a distance, it's still a little sour to the eye, but the story really makes up for it. Take it from someone who is just about the pickiest buyer ever, this is worth to get. I might not keep it in my collection, but I definitely don't regret buying.
