Sable Prince by Nesumi Chisato; a shounen-esque shoujo, but it's actually the romance (?) that's holding me (normally I'd go for the plot more) :D

Sable Prince by Nesumi Chisato is being scanlated by Scarlet Carnival, and they recently finished volume 1. I’ve been following this for a while (since the second chapter, I believe) but didn’t really find a reason to blog it until this one. :3

The story is basically about an heir to the demon throne (Vilof) who is travelling alongside a “mysterious” companion (Pierre). Despite it being “shoujo” and not “shounen-ai” I honestly thought it’d be one of those subtle friendship mangas at the very least. (Okay I lied; Hetalia has corrupted me, I was kinda thinking shounen-ai…)

Was I ever wrong.

FWAAAH PIERRExGIZELO! Click for the full version, if you're like me and can't handle mere thumbnails of such panels. *A*

Eff yes! Knight/princess love, and I’m loving it. Uh yeah, he’s a guy with really long hair (he untied it to give the ribbon thing to his lady teehee).

I want to know their back story; forbidden loves are always interesting, so I’m looking forward to this one. Vilof won’t seem to care though, so I think things’ll work out (save me the typical shoujo drama of a girl caught between two guys, please). He says he’ll write her “another” letter, which means he’s in regular correspondence with her?

Makes you wonder though, whether or not Pierre has an ulterior motive. :/

Otherwise, so far it’s been a series of stories about their encounters with random villages etc., so I’m hoping everything will culminate in the second volume and that little flesh-eating girl will come back. I kinda liked her, she was fun.
