Reimei no Arcana

Plot: Princess Nakaba of Senan is forced to marry Prince Caesar of the enemy country Belquat, tantamount to becoming a hostage. While Caesar is pleasing to the eye, he is also selfish and possessive, telling Nakaba outright: "You are my property." With only her attendant Loki at her side, Nakaba must find a way to cope with her hostile surroundings, her fake marriage...and a mysterious power!

Rating: Hands down, five stars!

My Opinion: I thought this manga was some other one I remember reading but came to find out it was something else. I was hooked from the start though being that I do like stories where it is about to enemies forced to be married and falls in love with each other. I also finished this in two days and I wanna go back and read again because I sped through it, wanting to know if Nakaba and Caesar end up together, like officially choosing to be together. It really kept me on the edge of my seat when things got heated and you're just dying to get through it to see what ends up happening. The magaka really did a good job with this story and left some unexpected twists and turns that were unexpected, which made it even better. The ending was so sad, admittedly but trust me, it is seriously good as well!

Favorite Character: Prince Caesar! I love how mean he was in the beginning but as he starts to fall for Nakaba, he gets super cute and adorable as he gets jealous over Nakaba and Loki, or hates admitting he is happy about something, or tries to do things to make Nakaba happy but acts like he doesn't care. It's so cute! You literally watch him transform as he Nakaba's personality, and passions rub off on him as well. Honestly this was a tie between Caesar and Loki because I also really liked Loki. I loved how mysterious he was. He is always so calm, sometimes ignores people, like Caesar, when he gets jealous. I also love how much he sacrifices. He did so much, and I mean a LOT, for Nakaba, but it is sad to realize all that he does and all that he hides for Nakaba's sake. I could say so much about him as well, but I also don't want to spoil anything on accident. 

Favorite Couple: Nakaba and Caesar! I love them together! I really wanted them to be together, that's why I sped through the manga, going through ups and downs as I tried to get to the end to see if they seriously do end up together! They were just perfect together! I did felt bad for Loki and sometimes thought that if Nakaba doesn't end up with Caesar, I'm fine with Loki... except to a point near the end where I was 100% okay if Nakaba doesn't end up with him at all and was 100% rooting for Caesar. 

My Last Thoughts: This manga was really good. It only has 53 chapters. It wasn't only focused on the romance part of the manga but the story, was really good as it also focused on different character's stories, Nakaba's mysterious power, her past, both her kingdom and Caesar's kingdoms and the political warfare going on. So, honestly, if you are looking for a manga with romance but also like one with a pretty good story as well, consider giving this one a try! Like I said, I was really focused on the romance between Nakaba and Caesar and I sped through this manga in two days. I couldn't put it down, even when I wanted to because I had things I wanted to do and needed to do, but I just couldn't. I needed to know how it ended. I was surprised by certain outcomes near the end, and secrets revealed, things I personally didn't see coming. I loved the story and the whole plot. Sometimes it was hard to read when things were getting kind of hard and slow. It was agonizing but it was worth it! It's good, trust me :)
