What’s the Plot?
Picture this: A prince and a princess caught in a web of fate so thick you’d need a machete to get through it. Set in a dreamy fairytale-like world, this romantic fantasy is poised to make us swoon harder than we do watching rom-coms on a Saturday night!

A Little About Our Creator
So, Aka Akasaka has been busy, huh? After wrapping up Oshi No Ko with chapter 166 in November (seriously, my heart still needs a recovery period from that ending!), he was all like, “Yeah, I’m retiring from drawing manga but watch this space.” Sure, Okay, Akasaka, just casually shifting gears to writing with a side of glamorous world-building. Respect.
Why Should You Care?
If you’ve ever been in a situationship that could fill a tome of romantic misadventures, this is for you. Here’s why Maerchen Crown is already on my watchlist:
- Akasaka’s Proven Track Record: If he can make us laugh, cry, and cringe with his storytelling, imagine the magic he’ll conjure with a fantasy romance!
- Eye-popping Art: The collaboration with Ajichika promises to bring dazzling visuals that might just steal the spotlight from the plot (but we know better than to let that happen)!
- Escape from Reality: Dreaming about royalty while sipping on your favorite bubble tea? Count me IN!
Final Thoughts: Can We Just Fast Forward to 2025 Already?
So there you have it, lovelies! The countdown begins for Maerchen Crown, and if the excitement isn’t practically raising your heart rate, then you’re reading this blog all wrong! You’d better believe that I’ll be here, eagerly flipping through each page, ready to unpack the drama and romance that our favorite author has in store.
Until then, let the speculation begin! What do you think the prince and princess’s love story will look like? Will it be a smooth sailing fairy tale or a rollercoaster of emotions? Either way, gear up because it sounds like we are in for a ride—just remember to pack some snacks!
