This Reincarnated Cross-Dressing Princess Won't Be Looking for a Fiancé

by Akino Shiina, Akino Shiina (Illustrator)

One day, Princess Alicia, who cross-dresses to attend the male only Magic Academy, realizes that the world she is currently in is the setting of the BL novel she was reading in her previous life.

Her purpose at the academy is to get married to one of the candidates her mother has prepared for her, so that she can avoid a political arranged marriage. However, all the candidates are members of the novel's protagonist's harem. Close to giving up hope, she's spotted by a man she'd never heard of... a new character in the story! The handsome summoner Lucius demands her hand, and before she knew it, Alicia was falling for him!

Well damn, this was ahh interesting 👀

I was not expecting THAT in the first chapter 😅

————————————————————————————————

Princess Alicia made a bet with her mother, marry the prince of the neighbouring kingdom or find your own fiancé by attending an all-boys school. Now disguised as Reyes Olano, she hunts for a fiancé from the list of candidates her mother gives her. However, it’s not so easy since Alicia has actually been reincarnated and is attending the school from her favourite BL novel, Your World.

But suddenly, the mysterious (and handsome) Lucius appears and he is not someone Alicia has seen from the BL novel. Who is he and what does he want? Especially since he knows that Alicia is pretending to be a boy…

————————————————————————————————

Overall, the art was beautiful and the story was nice. It was a little eh at first but when it got closer to the ending it was getting better. The mystery behind who one of the characters were, was what kept me reading. I wanted to know, so I’m glad there was something to keep me going

That being said, as one who reads BL, ahahaha how crazy would it be to actually be in a world like that 🤣

Good plot & great spice!

Mediocre and full of predictable plots. It was OK for a quick read, but definitely not memorable or well written. Alicia was dumb and prone to getting herself into stupid situations. The implication is that basically she would be assaulted if Lucius didn’t come and save her every time. That’s not saying very much about the four supposed friends. I don’t think anybody was surprised by the “twist” at the end. Or if you were, you don’t read enough to see that coming from a mile away.

We're told that Alicia is kind and strong, charismatic and noble, but all I see is that she's a doormat. I can't believe that she wasn't even a little bit angry that Lucius, her mother, and Rem had all been lying to her and manipulating the situation the entire time. She never even had the choice that she thought she had. And the fact that the other guys found out before she did? I'm furious. I think that Lucius's actions can't be forgiven, but Alicia is such a careless individual that I'm not surprised that she doesn't even think an apology is warranted.

This book has multiple graphic depictions of sex, which was a bit of a surprise, given other books in this genre often aren't quite so explicit.

It is fairly standard romance - which means it skirts the borders of the heroine not giving consent to the controlling and overbearing hero since he's blackmailing her, but she enjoys herself so that makes it alright? - which is a bit of a slippery slope there.

That said, parts of the book aren't bad. And I like the cat, as it has some of the best lines (seriously, if they talked things out, half the angst wouldn't have happened).

This was a bit of a hot mess. It felt waaaay too cramped, like it should’ve been 3-4 volumes of story but for some reason they decided to cram it all into 1. The BL aspects were… not well thought out. The love interest spent so much of this going “You’re helpless without me!!” to which the heroine enthusiastically was like “yes! I am!!” 🙄 I did finish it but jeez, it really feels like the inferior product of something I actually would’ve been interested in, if only it had been… good.

I have no idea why this manga gets so much hate. The "problem/issue" of the plot was extremely predictable, but I thought the story and the characters were really good (and cute) overall. And for those wanting to know: the d*ck "pics" were censored. I have no idea why, it's rated mature. Anyway, I loved this and found it to be a worthwhile read.
