I love this story. I really do- one of the best comics for the art and storyline. DEFINETLY a favorite romance.

The main characters grow and help each other deal with their personal anxieties, and are completely  supportive as they explore a healthy family relationship and dynamic. Their relationships grows naturally, don't feel forced, and I love how realistic it is.

Minor: Child abuse, Rape, and Toxic relationship

The assault isn't graphic, but it is a major plot point. It occurs in a flash back.

The King was assaulted as a child. Due to this, he exhibits rude behavior as a result of his anxiety towards women

4.25

I really enjoyed this one because it's cute, it's funny, and I found the character's loveable. The reason that I only rated it a 4.25 and not a 5 is because towards the end of the first season I felt like it started to lag. The season felt over before it actually was and I just felt like a lot of it was completed already. Or rather, goals achieved. 

There were unexpected curveballs which are a part of the content warnings. These deepened the story and are a part of what are keeping me hanging in. 

Otherwise, heart-warming, sweet, and takes a classic fairytale and turns it on its head.
