Saisou: She's My Knight 1 (2023, Kodansha America, Incorporated) No rating

Light reading packed with gags for fans of shoujo manga.

No rating

Are YOU tired of high drama and convoluted plots? Want a read that's quick, light, and doesn't make you work for it? You've come to the right place! The series hangs on a single conceit - shoujo tropes but flip the genders. Chapters are quick with fast punchlines, with very little overarching plot to tie them together, so it's an easy read for anyone looking for some fun with no strings attached. The characters are all fairly goofy too, with a somewhat fourth wall-breaking knowledge of the tropes they are subverting, and my favorite parts were actually side characters' observations. Art is pretty and straightforward, with some fun comedic expressions.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha for a review copy. All thoughts in this review are my own!
