While more intriguing than the first, overall there were dips in the story that I found near un-readable.

The way this made me cry! Such funny and emotional beginnings of a relationship between a very unlucky girl and an alien prince. 

While a bit harder to find, if you can find digital copies, it is worth the read if you're yearning for a fluffy romance. (Not spicy (AT LEAST) in this first volume.)

Hilarious and action-packed. The MC is VERY relatable and an age you don't often see for a protagonist. 

I would 100% recommend this series to any beginner manga reader who just wants to have a good time with kaiju and comedy.

Single-handedly the strangest manga I have ever read and I AM LIVING FOR IT. An excellent mix of comedy, horror and action. 

Protect your genitals, my friends.

Immaculate drawings capture this harrowing take on the classic tale of Snow White. A must-read if you're a fan of Mr. Gaiman and his storytelling. I greatly appreciated the POV shift to the queen as opposed to the usual POV of snow-white. 

(Be warned though, this is NOT for children/younger teens)
