Princess

Oh the awesomeness, Klisis @ JanimeS has decided to continue scanlating Princess created by Han Seong Won, which was on a long hiatus at volume 27.

Summary as by JanimeS

It is the rich story telling which will draw you to the series. You'll be surprise to know that this manhwa(yeps, it's a korean manga) is expected to end at 40 volumes, most mangas which makes it this far at of the shounen genre, except for some selected few of the shoujo genre.

Princess as the name implies does not merely tell the tale of one particular princess, but rather the story of various princesses scattered across 3 generations and 3 countries. Each princess weaves a story of their own, each story intertwines the paths of other princesses.

The characters are drawn with full details, and architectural scenes inserted in between the chapters and covers are gorgeous. As of volume 27, the authoress has mentioned that it's been 10 years since the book was published, as such there is further refinement in her beautiful artwork. It's amazing how many characters there are in this tale, both the main characters and supportive characters alike are different in their own ways and each plays a role in this story.

There is no one main character, as the scenes flickers back and forth from one another, telling the tale from different perspectives. Although the general gist of the story does center around Bi from her pre-teens, it will eventually end with her daughter, Preia who is the rightful heir to Ramira. Three countries and their political situation and cultures we learn, Ramira, Anatoria, and Skador.

The beautiful long tresses, the elaborate dresses, the sweet endearing tales and most of all, the hidden strength each princess holds. Oh yups, it has all makings of a little girl's dreams.

And of course, with princesses, there are also princes. The typical bishies, o-ho! With love stories of different sorts. Both the tragic and happy endings will be told.

Of a princess who died soon after she was reunited with her beloved.

Of a princess who sacrificed her happiness for her country.

Of a rebellious princess who became an outstanding warrior.

Of a princess who sacrificed herself to save another.

Of war, politics, siblings, friends, loyalty, ambitions, greed and power.

These are but a few of the many tales you will find, amidst all, a princess who reclaims her throne.

-SUPER IMAGE HEAVY-
(I couldn't help myself and uploaded a lot, which I eventually reduced =P)

Of Ramira



Of Anatoria

I won't spoil the story any further, but it is getting more intense as the last and final generation makes their appearance into the story's plot. XD
