The Royal Tutor, Vol. 11
The royal palace is bustling with successive arrivals, which is good news for lonely Leonhard! First, Beatrix comes seeking advice on how to cheer up her cuteness-starved fiancé. Then, young Prince Claude of Fonsein pays a diplomatic visit that pushes Leonhard's foreign-language skills to their limits. When Leonhard's dearest brother Bruno is next to arrive, everyone expects Leonhard to be elated...but the effusive prince is uncharacteristically reserved. Has their time apart soured the bonds of brotherly affection?!

In Summary
This installment seems dedicated to showing the progress of the more socially awkward princes of the family. Licht has never had trouble in this department, so we have a collection of vignettes of Kai, Bruno, and Leonhardt interacting with members of the family and new friends. Most of it is light-hearted fun, even the state visit from the Fosein royals, but the chapters do demonstrate how Heine has strengthened them as competition for Prince Eins, whose loyal Rosenberg is likely to make a move to counter this development.
The Review
The previous volume ended with an intriguing scene of Rosenberg at Prince Eins’ residence. This volume opens with the continuation of that scene. The interplay between Eins and Rosenberg insinuates quite a bit about Eins’ reliance on the count. The Black Prince may have a flawless reputation, but the king’s concerns about his suitability for the throne are grounded in something quite real, judging from the anxiety both Rosenberg and Eins exhibit.
However, Akai-sensei remains coy about the specifics of the eldest prince’s fatal flaw and quickly shifts the focus back on the princes whose failings we are all too familiar with. Much of the early volumes were Heine’s individual and collective lessons for the princes. Now the fruits of that work manifest as Leonhardt entertains Fosein’s Prince Claude; Bruno receives his schoolmate Smerdyekov as a guest in Wienner; and Kai cheers on buddy Elmer in a grueling training exercise. Granted, they still have a ways to go, as evidenced by their dismal knowledge of the fairer sex in “My Ideal Princess!” but clearly their worlds are expanding as they forge and deepen bonds beyond their family circle.
Not that the other royal relatives are absent in this volume. Beatrix drops in on two chapters and cute Adele features largely in the Fosein state visit. The king and granny also make appearances as needed. While the characters do have a tendency to get carried away (as when Leonhardt discovers the true reason behind Prince Claude’s visit), family interactions remain characterized by genuine concern and warmth—with the exception of Eins, who always seems the odd prince out.
The volume concludes with both Kai and Bruno back in Wienner, improved from their time away yet having lost none of their affection for Heine or their kin. Things are looking well for Heine’s students, which casts an even darker shadow on Eins’ hidden struggle.
Extras include bonus manga on the inside cover, bonus story, and first page printed in color.

4.5/5
Alright! We’re back to a really enjoyable volume. 😃
Shockingly this one didn’t even have Licht in it that I can remember an I still liked it a lot. Mostly they were stand alone stories but we did get a hint that Eins once had a possible betrothed and something went on there. We also know Rosenberg is always there watching over him because for some reason he’s “unsuitable” (potentially depression?)
The stories for each Prince were good but I think I enjoyed the one of Leonie meeting the young prince whose language he didn’t speak most (Adele’s betrothed he finds out later). I also liked the one of Beatrix trying to teach the princes how to court a lady. (Though Beatrix really needs to just get on with actually talking to Kai…)
Most of all I like that all the princes are back in Granzreich. (My gripes: The mystery over Eins I dragging. And I still want to know more about Heine… my original hypothesis that he’s actually a woman turned out to be wrong, but we still don’t know a dang thing about him! There are only 6 volumes left!)

Usually I don't mind continuity errors, but it's embarrassing when there's one IN THE SAME VOLUME. In an early chapter, a royal family visits to discuss Adele's and Eins's marriages, but in a later chapter when asked if anyone outside of Adele or Kai have a betrothed, the brothers say that Eins had one but it was a long time ago. Um, hi? Y'all were LITERALLY talking about one just a few chapters earlier, and SUDDENLY that didn't happen?! Consistency, motherfuckers, do you speak it?!
I'm willing to overlook this because we FINALLY get more chapters with Bruno and Kai, but this inconsistency is ridiculous. Whatevs, moving on to the next volume.

First, I started thinking, 'Eins doesn't seem like such a bad guy.' now I'm starting to think his friend might not be that shady after all. Sure he is trying to get Eins on the throne but I don't know his reason yet and it doesn't have to be a sinister one like I originally thought.
What happened to Eins fiancee? When will I get to read Eins backstory? What's really going on? Why is Eins not fit to be king right now? What's wrong with him? AND HOW COME I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING ON THE TUTOR? NIL. NADA. ZILCH.

Another good volume.

I especially enjoyed this volume. Maybe it's because I haven't read one in this series in a awhile.

A wrap up of the characters apart to return to status quo - or will it deepen the drama next volume? Either way, good boys will be good boys.

This was a super cute volume. The doll that they made for Kai out of Shadow's fur was adorable and so thoughtful.

I really like the progress each of them is making and each unique to the individual. Plus enjoyable how they keep turning the Count down in his shady schemes.
