Airi, a romantic herself, has built this ideal man because she, like Aram, is on her own and needs something, or someone, to look forward to. The only person who cares about him is his guardian, Lei, but Aram needed more than just him. For years, Aram hasn't known kindness because his half-brother has made his life miserable. Not only is it funny, but it's super romantic because Airi and Aram needed each other in so many ways. This manga is yet another one of my guilty pleasures. In this series, Airi and Aram go on a journey where they will learn a lot about one another and each other, which leads to many revelations and disasters. Caught between her vow to save her kiss for her soul mate, Airi doesn't know what to do because she cares for Aram even thought he's absolutely clueless when it comes to taking care of himself. The only way to save Aram is the 'Maiden's Kiss' and Aram asks Airi to be his maiden. When Aram arrived, Airi's life was lonely and it was nice having him him around until she realizes that Aram turns from a cute little boy into a gorgeous man overnight.

Aram is a prince from a magical kingdom who was thrust into the mirror by his faithful servant because Prince Jelie, his eldest brother, cast a spell on him. However, all of that changes when Aram emerges from her mirror. When not watching romantic dramas, Airi dreams about her prince and vows to keep her first kiss just for him. Not only is it her goal to marry the man of her dreams, she truly believes that if she arrives at school for, on time, for two years, the magic mirror she inherited will grant her wish to marry her true love. I found the story pretty immature, although there are plenty of people I know who thought it was fantastic.Īiri Hoshino is a romantic. I couldn't get over the fact that she was almost an adult and he was a little kid. The thought of this ditz softening up toward a brat like that just because he looked good half the time totally turned me off.

I remember 9-year old boys, when I was in elementary school. The way I see it, I don't care if he looks like he's 17 half the time. Some people will be OK with it, others won't. However, he's got a curse that sometimes turns him into a young man of about the same age as her, so she's torn between accepting him and rejecting him. Aram (the prince), falls in love with her, but is too young for her. A young prince (elementary school age) is somehow zapped into our world and ends up living with a high school girl named Ari, who dreams of getting married and having a family. This maybe deserves 3 stars simply because the art is so beautiful (that mangaka REALLY knows how to draw eyes), but I didn't particularly like the story.
