Shoujo Manga Book Club discussion

Shirayuki was a young girl born with unique apple-red hair. She meets a famous but foolish Prince Raji, who falls in love with her at first sight and orders her to become his concubine. With nowhere else to go, Shirayuki cuts her hair and escapes to a neighboring country. While traversing through the forests, she meets a young man, Zen, who helps her after she boldly cures his wounds, but then gets poisoned by an apple meant for Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Prince Raji sends out henchmen to search for her. What will happen to Shirayuki? What is Zen’s true character? A refreshing fantasy love story between an optimistic heroine and a prince who constantly stays on her watch.

I've seen both seasons of the anime and absolutely loved it. I have not read the manga yet, as no one has released it in the US (yet) and I prefer print volumes.

What do you think about the manga version? What do you like or dislike?

From the anime, I like the fact that it's mostly just conversations between great characters. There's not a lot of conflict for the most part in season 1, and what conflict there is tends to get resolved by the end of the episode. Season 2 had some longer arcs, but it was still pretty laid back for most of it. I like character-study-type manga, and that's what the anime felt like to me.
