I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons, Vol. 1
Leticia Dorman, daughter of a duke, has been engaged to the crown prince, Clarke, since age seven. Though once a spirited child, she’s undergone ten years of strict lessons to teach her manners fit for the future queen. Distraught by the loss of her freedom, Leticia clings to her hope that the prince might someday take an interest in another woman—and when he shows up to a royal ball with an unknown lady at his side, she’s elated to see her engagement broken off. Finally, her dream has come true! Lettie wastes no time at all in retreating to the countryside for her new peaceful life, but her joy is cut short when the prince appears and informs her that she is still, in fact, his fiancée. Prince Clarke is determined to win her heart and marry her. Lettie is determined to resist him and escape. The universe is determined to not be of any help whatsoever.

I feel so conflicted about this...😅😅😅
I LOVED the beginning! I thought it was extremely funny and was like YOU TELL THEM LETICIA while she freed herself from princess lessons and the (who appeared to be) cheating prince! I was happy for her and with every declaration she made of how excited she was to completely leave the prince and the castle, I felt myself all the more happier!
However, when the Prince chased her down and FORCED her to come back, there were only so many incidents I could laugh about before I started thinking this young man had no right to FORCE Leticia to marry him.
And that's where my struggle begins.
I get the backstory and his love for Leticia is supposed to show that he was only being forceful because he felt there was no other way to get her attention. HOWEVER!
Why is it LETICIA'S fault if she does not want him to touch her or flirt with her and therefore cause him to potentially be at a "breaking point" where he uses force? Why is there a need for her to to be told that if she continues to "act out" and then next time he may not be as gentle with her? And why are other women saying that no wonder he's doing what he's doing because she simply is being insufferable and IS acting out?
That message doesn't sit well with me and I feel like with how often we see and are reminded of the Prince's deep love for her, I'm supposed to overlook and forgive his actions because "they come from a good but desperate place."
I loved the art and loved Leticia but I thought it unfair he took away her favorite and closest maid "because she may try to help you escape the castle" and kept confining her. (Like to the point that he put bars on her windows so she couldn't break them and escape...) Not only that but he also expected her to be okay with "lovey-dovey" situations and not feel uncomfortable despite being forced to stay in the castle against her wishes. Like what?!
I feel bad because I don't like being overly critical, but with the gorgeous cover and the news of an anime, I was really excited and looking forward to reading this one. It unfortunately did not match up to my excitement past the beginning. I want to say I'll give it another shot, but why do I need to excuse the Prince's actions simply because he's the lead and he has a cute face?

This had its fair share of funny moments. However, I found it difficult to fully enjoy the manga due to its problematic portrayal of the forceful marriage aspect, which overshadowed the humor and charm of the story.

Though funny and cute, I completely understand the controversy around this, and why so many readers took issue with it. It has dark romance tropes in a comedic setting, which not everyone is going to like. But I still enjoyed it. Clarke is clearly in love with Leticia, and what he loves about her is her spirited nature, so he isn't trying to change her. There are plenty of moments played for laughs, but this doesn't detract from some of the softer moments, and the ones that are present are very sweet. For her part, Leticia has repressed much of who she is, so I'm eager to see her rediscover both herself and some possible former feelings for the prince that she may have also hidden.

Sorry just can't stand ml at all, first he chased her down and forced her to come back even though she doesn't wanna come back also he forced her to marry to marry him.
I dunno how i feel about this but i given another shot.

Prince Clark could easily be a bot on c.ai with the way he just appears out of nowhere and grabs her by the wrist/drags her back.

Leticia's engagement to the crown prince was finalized when she was a child. Ever since, she's taken "princess lessons" to make her into the ideal future queen. Truthfully, Leticia hates the lessons and how caged her life has become; she yearns for freedom from the weight of her duties. When Prince Clarke shows up to a ball escorting another woman, Leticia is certain that she's finally escaped her engagement... but she has no idea how deeply Clarke feels about her.
Hmmm. I love a good romance fantasy. I read a ton of webtoons and manga, and hadn't ever heard of this one (not surprising; the genre is super saturated) but figured that if it was popular enough to warrant an English translation, then it was worth the shot. So far, I'm hesitant about this story--2 stars.
This volume collects the first 10 chapters of the manga (plus a side story). Readers meet Leticia, who longs to break off her engagement, and Clarke, who cares for her but has never managed to make her see that. What gave me such pause was that Clarke is... stalker-y? Literally, the entire volume compromises of Leticia trying to escape and Clarke, her brother, the maids, and everyone else stopping her and telling her that she's so lucky he cares for her so deeply.
It's weird, because it's not even a dark romance--nothing extremely untoward happens (though Clarke does do the whole "you don't know how much I'm holding myself back" trope), but it just left me really unsure if I could like this story. Clarke seems to (at least marginally) respect Leticia's ultimatum on touching her/spending time with her, so it doesn't seem like he's a total lost cause, but still. I know that this is going to turn into a sappy love story, because that's how the genre works. And maybe there really is a lot of miscommunication and Clarke isn't as much as a creep as he seemed, but this one left me feeling awkward.

February 19, 2025Soooo conflicted with this one. On the one hand, I looooove Leticia. Great active heroine. She makes plans and sees them through. Plus, she's adorable.
Clarke is insanely attractive, but the plot... Oof.
Poor Leticia wants freedom, and she nearly has it, but it is snatched from her again and again. Spoilers -- it is because Clarke actually adores her and can't live without her. But no one is thinking of what Leticia wants. It's all but he looooves you (he does), while disregarding that because of that, she has suffered for a decade. Acknowledge her pain, people!! Don't just go, poor Clarke, he loves her and she doesn't get it!
And in the end when it's revealed he has 'tried everything' to get her to fall for him, um no he hasn't. If it took ten friggin years for princess lessons to be cancelled, he didn't try everything. Had he even tried reducing them, then she would not have been miserable, or as miserable, for a decade, starting from when she was SEVEN.
Again, my poor baby Leticia.
And her brother can go to hell. Basically selling his sister for power. I hope your glasses break and you fall into a well.
I'll probably continue because I love Leticia, but oof.

tiñe con humor una situación conflictiva x.x con la perspectiva que tengo puedo discernir en lo que es ficticio y lo intolerable en lo real, pero si aun se está formando o en un momento de vulnerabilidad, se puede llegar a normalizar la situación expresada en la historia u opacar la alerta de red flag.
de una forma, también aclaran el hecho que lo que detesta y de lo que quiere escapar es del entrenamiento exhaustivo al que se vio expuesta al momento de ser nombrada la prometida del príncipe. su vida libre y de niña se vio destruida, toda la emoción de alegria que en su primer momento sintió se desmoronó a medida que fueron más estrictos con las lecciones 🫠

This book is weird. If you go into this book thinking you’re getting a slow burn romance where the female leads boundaries are respected and they eventually grow closer, you are dead wrong. If you go into this book thinking your getting a slow burn where the female lead is forced into something she doesn’t want and just wants to be free while the male lead is obsessively in love with her and do anything to keep her with him, you’d be right. This book is quite an acquired taste and can be a little hard to get behind but I liked it. 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tengo un poco de sentimientos encontrados con este manga.
El dibujo me ha encantado y al principio la historia me ha parecido muy divertida y diferente pero a medida que avanzaba se me hacia todo más repetitivo y aburrido.
Si fuera una serie corta o un tomo único no habría problema pero de momento es una serie abierta de 6 tomos... Espero que la cosa vaya cambiando en el próximo tomo (y con ese final parece que será así).

Me ha parecido divertidísimo. De verdad, con carcajadas incluídas.
A Leticia la prometieron con el prícipe a los 7 años y desde entonces ha vivido un infierno porque no tiene ninguna libertad, ha pasado los últimos 10 años entre estudiar y soportar el escrutinio de la sociedad. Así que cuando el prícipe aparece con otra acompañante en el baile, salta de alegría, les desea lo mejor y sale disparada en su carruaje para vivir libre en el campo.
El comportamiento del príncipe, que no tiene ninguna intención de romper el compromiso, es un poco stalker-controlador, pero es más para crear las situaciones cómicas que otra cosa.
