How to Treat a Lady Knight Right empieza con el personaje masculino, un mago, declarándose a la protagonista, una guerrera, que aparece en la portada de este primer tomo.

El ambiente de este manga es de fantasía, ella es una guerrera con armadura, el chico es un mago que puede sanar heridas; hay monstruos; la arquitectura de las ciudades y los bosques nos sumergen en ese mundo.

Leo Cornelia, la protagonista, no cree que pueda haber alguien que la quiera ya que su cuerpo está tonificado con abdominales, lleno de heridas y cicatrices. Por esta razón, cuando el chico le confesa su amor, ella lo rechaza sin pensar. No está acostumbrada a estos tipos de situaciones.

Durante el manga, el personaje masculino hace todo lo posible para hacerle ver que él la quiere tal como es, con cicatrices y todo. En este primer tomo no vemos mucho progreso en la relación pero ella, poco a poco, se va dando cuenta que tal vez es verdad que él la quiere tal como es.

No es una historia que vaya a continuar leyendo pero no está mal para leer cuando uno no sabe qué hacer con el tiempo libro o qué leer a continuación.

This was an enjoyable manga about a strong Knight called Lady Leo and the man who falls for her. There are a series of short scenes going through their clear like for one another, their self-consciousness hilariously getting in the way and them being oblivious to each other at times. There was a LOT of blushing and I must say though the skits were fresh each time, I don't know if I could see the direction of travel with this one. There really wasn't a storyline, just a very well written character dynamic between our two main characters. Super strong girl & weak but supportive man is a great combo, so though I liked it because of that, I can't give it more than 3 stars.

<i>I was provided with a complementary copy of this manga from Kodansha comics via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, which I leave voluntarily</i>.

This was a fun story. Lady Leo is the best knight in the country, strictly trained since childhood. She’s too busy for friends and she definitely doesn’t need romance. So she doesn’t take it well when the mage Foolie declares his love for her. She can’t understand what he sees in her when she’s scarred and not at all feminine. But she’s exactly the kind of woman Foolie wants, if only he could make her see it.

Sir Leo Cornelia, known as The Holy Blade, is a monster hunter extraordinaire. But when Foolie starts following her around, bringing flowers, and wanting to join in on her monster quests, she does not know how to react since this was the first time she had anyone interested in her. But as Foolie insists on sticking around, she grows to like the attention. But will their time together be short or long? Remember, Leo is a monster hunter and sometimes the monsters decide to hunt the hunter! Eagerly awaiting the next volume to see who the cliffhanger ends!

Thanks Netgalley and Kodansha for the chance to read this title!

Summary:

Kai and Ren have been good friends ever since they got assigned to the same homeroom in middle school. They spent years sharing classes and enjoying their time together. Yet it isn't until they're separated that they realize something else may be going on.

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. It can also make you realize your true feelings. Neither Kai nor Ren was prepared for this realization – or the implications. Worse, they won't know if it's mutual until one of them is brave enough to broach the subject.

Review:

Another endearing and slow-burn romance! My Ultramarine Sky is very genuine and sweet, as two teenagers realize their friendship is actually something more. You love to see it happen (especially when it goes well).

There's a lot to appreciate in this one. Mainly, I adored the characters. Kai and Ren are a lot of fun, as are their friends. We're talking about a great support system – one that admittedly also has a good sense of humor.

I love that My Ultramarine Sky basically shows both perspectives of the story. I feel like that was essential, especially given how otherwise short this story was (will there be more? I have no idea).

Highlights:
Manga
Romance – Yaoi
LGBT – M/M Romance

Thanks to Kodansha Comics and #NetGalley for making this book available for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Now, with a title like this: "How to Treat a Lady Knight Right", you kind of suspect what you are getting into: lots of silly situations that give way to teenage/juvenile level of fan service humor. Now, sadly for us, Matsumoto just ticks the box and goes for it: almost all the chapters are an excuse for some actually quite chaste, not really progressive, kind of repetitive, situations where our main character ends up blushing, losing pieces of clothing, getting drunk... It is charming enough and both the main characters are good enough that its downsides can be kind of forgiven, but its a pity that Matsumoto doesn't go for full humor (or at least more short stories like the one about the Lady Knight eating sweets for the first time) and goes more for the, as said before, juvenile/fan service level of humor.

The art is nice, but repetitive and, yes, centers too much on the female bodies (both main female characters). It is also kind of messy, as there are too many big drawings of the female lady knight without any background that make the reading and the structure of the pages uneven and faltering.

Now, if you like this type of manga (comic) this might be for you. But, well, yes, fan service...

"How to treat a lady knight right" is a really entertaining manga that I really enjoyed. Leo is a lady knight covered in muscles and scars, and Leo is her mage admirer. Due to Leo's perspective on her appearance, she can't believe the words of mage Fooly who confesses his lover for her. But Leo has the greatest abs Fooly has ever seen, plus shes an amazing hero, and he decides he will work along side Leo while also convincing her of his love.

As much as Leo refuses Fooly, as readers we can see that Foolys compliments and praise get to her. She blushes furiously and gets very flustered at his words. Her insecurities just get too much in the way and she can't accept that his words are true.

In this volume we see Leo and Fooly take on a few monsters, and meet Foolys sister who is a bit of a challenge too. I really enjoyed reading this and I'm looking forward to seeing Leo hopefully learn to accept Foolys love.

Fun story. It does have fan service which doesn't bother me. I do really enjoy the art of this too.

Foolie professes his love to our female knight,Leo; however, she doesn't understand why when she is covered in scars and muscular. We follow them in different situations where he continuously tries to prove it's not a joke and how serious he is about loving her while. We see her battle monsters, encounter a sister who has a brother comex and a little bit more outside of those things.

Very fan servicey. Very "I think I'm a bad ass hero but actually I'm just every annoying trope about women warriors"

How to Treat a Lady Knight Right is an adorable comedy manga. I found myself really enjoying the characterization of Leo our titular lady knight who is both incredibly strong and believes herself unable to be loved until she meets Foolie who immediately confesses his love for her before the two go on fantasy slice of life adventures as Foolie tries to show Leo his love. Overall this was a fun light hearted manga which I would recommend to those wanting something fun and lighthearted in a fantasy setting. Thank you Netgalley and Kondasha for sending me this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Thank you so much to Kodansha Comics and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this manga. This is for someone who enjoys a slice of life story but with a fantastical aspect. Truly one for me personally that reminds me of a dynamic I have with someone special, but I think it's going to make some people annoyed because there's no set plot. I also think if you're looking for a tough female knight character this is definitely one, I would recommend because the character is fleshed out. Because of these points, I have to give this a 4-4.5 out of 5 stars.

Foolie was so sweet and adorable, I immediately loved him! If you’re looking for a quirky, light-hearted romance, this is probably the manga for you. There isn’t a lot of depth here, but I don’t really think there’s meant to be. It’s cute and fun, and I enjoyed it for what it is. The hyper-sexualization of Foolie’s little sister did throw me off since I assumed she was a teen, but no one’s ages are stated, so either I’m wrong or it’s just the style for all women in this manga. Didn’t take away from my enjoyment though, just surprised me!

Fairly enjoyable, albeit quite typical and cliché slice of life fantasy manga. There's no real plot, just day to day happenings of a default manga boy main character and a very muscular girl knight that's kind of a tomboy, and therefore finds it really hard and blush-worthy when the main characters treats her as a woman and a love interest. The romance is cute and innocent, but there's also a fair share of fan service bits included (mostly focusing on muscles though). I'd recommend this manga to anyone who particularly enjoys that kind of stuff or to anyone who'd generally like to read some lighthearted manga. I actually am interested in continuing the series because this book was a really fast read, but I do certainly hope that some sort of plot will appear in the continuations.

'I've abandoned my femininity' said the Holy Blade whilst she wore her form fitting and impractical armour-skirt outfit.

I'm sure someone will delight in this Manga, I just don't know who.

Zero stars really.

It was painful to read How to Treat a Lady Knight Right. I knew it from the cover already, but I still wanted to give it a shot. I just don't enjoy ecchi for boys, since girls are written as idiots and here once again Lady Leo is supposedly a strong knight and then blushes all the time when the idiot Foolie declares his love for her. There's no real plot, but small occurrences where Foolie enjoys Leo's muscles. The series isn't even funny, sadly so. It's very cliched by all means. The only good thing is that there's no plot, since the series couldn't handle one like this. It's ecchi, but nothing over the top, since the highlight is on muscles and not necessarily on boobs and whatnot. This is the only thing that saves the series.

The art looks wonky at times and isn't steady. Art wise this is your basic meh meh with nothing to offer except weird view angles at times. The only facial expressions are the ones when Leo blushes or looks wooden. I should know better than to read series like this. I don't know for who this is meant for even.

Kodansha announced during this year’s New York Comic Con the English digital release of Kengo Matsumoto’s romantic comedy manga, How to Treat a Lady Knight Right, slated for November 21st, 2023. This announcement comes almost two years after Sol Press relinquished their rights to the series in 2022. We got an early look into this English release from Kodansha, and you won’t want to miss this pick up.

Beauty Comes From Within

The beautiful Leo Cornellia would catch anyone’s eye with her short silver hair and face full of scars. With her heavy armor, flowing red cape, and trusty sword at her side, she stands out as the mightiest lady knight in the land. Foolie Dent, a seemingly ordinary mage, finds himself mesmerized by Leo’s beauty and is determined to win her heart with a bold declaration of love right at the beginning of the manga. Leo, as cool and composed as she may seem at first, is flustered by this confession, wondering how any man could love a woman with such a scarred face and body.

The manga features fairly short chapters divided into short situations that Leo and Foolie find themselves in. Foolie is consistently determined to help Leo in any way he can, despite how independent Leo presents herself. One such scenario happens after Leo slays some monsters. Foolie notices she is slightly injured and starts to put his hands on her with the intent of using healing magic. Leo, face red with embarrassment, assumes Foolie’s motives may be perverted – only to quickly find out he’s truly trying to help her. This is what I love about Foolie. Every action he takes for Leo is driven by pure intentions, and most of the time, he genuinely manages to assist her. He might be persistent in his pursuit of love – but he’s hardly inappropriate. This makes the manga a fun read, one where you don’t have to brace yourself for ill intentions often seen in romance manga.

Readers may easily relate to Leo as they progress through the story. She frequently experiences dysmorphia due to the scars that adorn her body, reminders of rigorous years of knight training. Maybe the intense training of a knight is not something you can connect with, but I’m positive that many of us can empathize with Leo’s struggle of feeling self-conscious about her body.

The artwork of How to Treat a Lady Knight Right is reminiscent of the Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out style, but it takes it a step further with even more intricate line work. This added level of detail is particularly evident in the characters’ fantasy attire and their meticulously designed armor. What truly amazes me about Matsumoto’s art is the manner in which he portrays the emotions of his characters. He is able to capture Leo’s frazzled emotions through his drawings, even when she doesn’t speak.

How to Treat a Lady Knight Right is perfect for those seeking a cute and easy-to-digest romance that one can read in short spurts. Chapters are easy to pick up even if you don’t quite remember what happened in the last. As for me, I read it between buses on my morning commute with ease. Kodansha has set the digital release date for November 21st, and they have conveniently provided a comprehensive list of all the available platforms to enjoy it on their website.
