This is a very well written manga about how a girl named Sumi Kitamura who's older brother runs around causing trouble basically steps up to the plate to find money and food for her younger siblings, somehow she ends up in a big home (without her family) and a pretty boy 'prince' who wants her to marry him?! Because her family needs a place to stay and her brother isn't helping she accepts his offer when money becomes involved. I enjoy the art and the main story line a lot, there were one or two things I hit from time to time that I didn't really like and would have liked to change plot wise. The idea of a girl going away to try and make money for whatever is rather common I find in a lot of the manga I read, though I have to say this one does have its own twists and turns that make it a worth while read in my book.
This is on my recommended reading list!
