Manga: Royal Fiancé

Royal Fiancé   is the work of Kamon Saeko (art)  and Asuma Risai (story). It is scanlated by Shinmakoku Scanlation and Black Lilac Scans.

The characters are drawn so beautifully especially the seme. With the uke, he may look like a bit like a girl, but it's not a cross-dressing manga (I'm glad about that!). The only time he had to wear something long is during the wedding ceremony. This story is not gender-bias whom you're going to choose as a lifelong partner.


The story is about two young boys, both in their blooming teenage years where they have to sacrifice self-gratification for the sake of others. But in the end they found their way to each others hearts.

Honami Kairi (Uke)

Kairi is a poor kid that got engaged to a royal prince, unknowingly. His parents run away because of debts so he was left to his Aunt who works as a cleaning lady of the school dorm where he studies. But recently she is hospitalized and Kairi decided to stop schooling, instead accepted a job offer from an old man he helped along his way home. He was offered a job as a housekeeper. Kairi asked for advance payment for his aunt's surgery and he was given. On the day he had to start his job he was picked up without the knowledge that he is the future partner of a Prince from Ecuratan.

 Limnio "Shou" Ecuratol (Seme)

A royal prince and also the next king of the country, Ecuratan, he is required to marry someone he had never met before. His country lies in the Mediterranean ocean and was once protected by Japanese , thus where the friendship between two countries was born. It is  customary for the citizens to add Japanese names as their middle name. "Shou" has a very Japanese feature that's why it was added on Limnio's name. He is also called "Shou" often.

He went to Japan to meet his fiancé as decided by his grandfather. He is infuriated but cannot rebel since this is part of their culture. He thought at first that Kairi only wanted his money but he was wrong after he followed him to the hospital where his Aunt is resting. He bought flowers to his Aunt and he's been described by her as "a tall man with golden, shiny hair, just like a prince from fairy tales." 

His country Ecuratan is known as the best producer of wine in the world. He told Kairi about the sparkling vine tree that lies somewhere in it. According to folklore, the couple that vows their love under it would be happy forever. He believes in it and so he hope to find that person to love someday. 

He did not expect to fall in love with Kairi until he got kidnapped and he met him under that "legendary" vine tree where they made their everlasting love vow.

Other Casts:

Kousuke

 

He is the uncle of Shou who is fond of Kairi. Perhaps he's one of the rarest characters you see smiling other than Kairi.  ^_^

*I like him, too! He's handsome and sweet, that's why, hehehe*

Shiori

The big brother of Shou but they have different mothers.  He may look aloof but he protects his brother and Kairi from the assassins.

Mifune

 

The person that picked up Kairi on his way to the royal's place. He is also his teacher as well as a secretary to the King. It looks like he is the "male lover" and true love of the current king of Ecuratan.

King of Ecuratan

 The father of Shou and Shiori. Before he got married he already had a lover, Mifune. But due to tradition, he had to marry the one his family chose for him. After his wife runaway, he secluded himself with Milfune and deprived Shou of attention. Despite of this, he chose him to be the next king. 

Grandpa King

This short, chubby, white-bearded old man is the reason why Kairi had to marry Shou. He was lost along the way and Kairi offered him help. In return he asked him if he wants to work as a housekeeper. The match-maker of the story, is no one else but the previous king of Ecuratan himself who is known to have huge liking with Japanese.

My Notes: Ooh it's so cold tonight, it's past 3 a.m. so the heaters are not on! I wish to take a warm bath...

This series is one of those that you wish it could've been longer. The art is gorgeous, no doubt about it. I can't help myself to add the other characters, so this page is loaded with more of them. I made the description short as much as I can. Happy reading!
