The Seven Princes of the Thousand-Year Labyrinth Vol. 4 by
Review for the series as a whole.
I am relentlessly picky with manga, but sometimes a series sneaks under my defenses for apparently no damn good reason.
I read this in French, so some things might have slipped through the cracks...maybe one day I'll reread it and this review will actually be an essay on my poor reading comprehension
- the main cast was a lot of fun. There were tons of circumstances that paired them up in different ways, whether it was for a small errand or an extended section. Each grouping had great chemistry. I really just wish there was more of that. Titas & Messiah, Gideon & Zan, and August & Zan were lovely standouts
- titas my king
- I wish there were more puzzles and challenges :((((
- loved the bonds between the guys, especially how everyone was drawn to Zan and his goodness. On the flipside, it was sooooo dramatic about everyone's fealty to Yuan--out of nowhere, so convenient. Yuan could pick up someone's dropped gum wrapper for them and they'd be like "oh...my king...I will lay down my life for you and your pure heart!!!!"
- this art!!!!! Wow this art!!!!!!!!! Beautiful environments, clothing, and characters!!!
- the premise seemed kinda...confused...? Lots of false tension regarding "ohhhh the other guys might try to kill me because they want to be emperor!" when 1) the few puzzles present required all eight people to be alive, and 2) this has been going on for ages apparently and there are always 7, like, princes who rule alongside and aid the emperor who won the labyrinth? No murder to be seen?
- god this art though. Messiah is so pretty
- nice miniboss twist & motive & backstory but I am begging manga to stop with the perverted, blushy, "I'm just so CRAZY!" kind of villain
- I'll follow these dumb boys anywhere!!! lucky me there's a bonus manga side story and everyone has new OUTFITS
