The Earl and the Fairy, Volume 1 by Ayuko, Mizue Tani

3.0

I can dig this! I admit I gave Edgar the side-eye for most of this volume; like, really, he couldn't just ask Lydia to work for him instead of kidnapping her? A bad sign, we may be dealing with one of Those Sort of shoujo 'heroes'. I felt reassured by the backstory though, I don't think it excuses his behaviour but the fact that Ayuko gave an explanation makes me feel like she realizes it was unacceptable. I really like the art too! Combined with the fact that this volume contains many of my favoured elements – dramatic backstory, fairies, lady butlers – I feel inclined to continue with this series. 3 stars
