Set in a Parisian-inspired fantasy world, the story follows Prince Sebastian, who harbors a secret passion for wearing beautiful dresses and adopts the alter ego Lady Crystallia. Struggling with the expectations of royalty and the fear of being discovered, Sebastian finds an ally in Frances, a talented young dressmaker with dreams of her own. Together, they embark on a journey of fashion, friendship, and self-discovery.

Wang expertly balances lighthearted moments with serious themes. The narrative addresses issues of gender identity and societal expectations with a gentle yet impactful touch, making it accessible for readers of all ages.

A delightful and touching graphic novel that celebrates the courage to be oneself and the power of supportive friendships.

This was cute, and I liked the illustrations! The theme, overall, was very sweet and so were the characters, I'm just not sure it captured me.
