Snow White with the Red Hair is a fantastic series about a girl running away from her troubles just to find her own way with her new found friends.

This Volume went in a different direction than all the others and I really enjoyed that, as much fun as it is to just read about Shirayuki's adventures with the others, it gets a bit boring after a while so shaking things up like this was a good change of pace. Can't wait for vol 13!

Another fantastic volume in the series. This volume has the potential to shift how the rest of the series is going to play out. We finally have Prince Izana crowned king, and now things are shifting and changing in the palace and the kingdom.
I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next volume!

Snow White with Red Hair is a fun series that follows Shirayuki (royal herbalist) and Zen (Second Prince of Wisteria), along with several endearing secondary characters. In this volume, Zen is busy preparing for his older brother, Izana's, coronation. He asks Shirayuki to entertain Prince Raj from her home kingdom during the festivities. The book ends with a twist, that I didn't expect. Izana was growing on me and now... I think he back on my bad side. 

Overall, it's a great series! I think the secondary characters like Obi, Mitsuhide and Kiki make the story even better. The beginning of this had introduction captions to each of the characters again. I didn't understand this after following the series since volume 1, but then was glad when a few of the minor characters from previous volumes made reappearances - oh yeah, forgot about them! 

Thank you VIZ Media and Netgalley for offering this ARC. I look forward to this release and the continuation of the series. Will be adding it to my library for my students to enjoy.

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.
