Snow White with the Red Hair, Vol. 12 by Sorata Akiduki

5.0

I received an ARC through NetGalley, all thoughts are my own personal opinion.

I have long been a fan of this series and I have read all 11 volumes so far making me familiar with the story. I was drawn in by the main female protagonist and found her character development interesting and different from typical shoujo manga.

The series follows Shirayuki who has unique bright red hair. This causes people to give her unwanted attention in various situations through the series and it is the inciting incident that leads to her meeting the male lead, Zen. WHen she learns Zen is a prince she vows to work hard and get a job in the palace so she can stay close to him and help him achieve his goals. Zen also pledges to support Shirayuki with her goals and the series follows their adventures.

This particular volume serves as a transition between plot events so it is not too exciting in terms of plot action but important events are laid out for the next arc. This is typical with mangas so while not a surprise it is part of the tamer volumes of the series. We do get some closure to storyline and character development that adds to the charm of this already amazing series.
