She's My Knight 1 (She's My Knight, #1)

[Quirky Cat]

Summary:

Haruma Ichinose has gotten pretty used to being the cool and popular guy. So, you can imagine his frustration when he starts getting outdone by another student. What's work – Yuki Mogami is a girl, and she's much more knightly than he will ever be.

As with many tales, the lines between love and hate are far too close. What started as a frustrated obsession quickly becomes something more, all while Ichinose comes to a horrible realization – he's the heroine to Yuki's knight!

Review:

I adore stories that can play with tropes and have fun. So naturally, I fell in love with She's My Knight Vol. 1. This novel takes many classic shojo elements (heroines/knights/etc) and turns them into a blast and a half.

Yuki Mogami is very much the classic prince archetype, and she finds it baffling. Her bafflement is so endearing and honest; I loved it. It counters perfectly to Haruma's frustration with his heroine role.

She's My Knight Vol. 1 is a funny start to a series, one that I fully intend to follow through on (I already pre-ordered volume 2!). I love the character balance, storytelling style, and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Highlights:
Contemporary Romance
Manga – Shojo
Comedy
Lighthearted and sweet

Will I continue the series? 100% Yes!
