The Lion and the Bride

There is so much to say about how amazing volume one of this manga was. The art was fantastic, for starters, and the wordbubbles was easy to understand and flowed well. I loved the characters and the plot! It built and headed in a direction I didn’t think it would. Going on ahead, I would like to see Yua’s relationship with Sensei developed more, however. Other than that, I think the characters have a powerful connection and one wrong move will lead to a deadly chain reaction (as with cliffhanger). When the cliffhanger at the very end came and I was completely blown away and wanted more. I wish I could buy the next volume to find out what happens.

Oh wow! What a love triangle!
Yua is a high school girl in a secret relationship with her teacher. But one day her grandmother, her last surviving family member, passes away and leaves her all alone in the world. And then, her beloved Sensei, supporting her again as he always has, asks her to marry him. She’s convinced that she’s about to begin a happy newlywed life, but it turns out Sensei has a huge secret...?! Sensei's son happens to be the boy at school that Yua despises... or is he her crush? Sensei is afraid that a boy her age will steal Yua away from him. But does he suspect his own son to be the culprit?
Dripping with drama and romance, this graphic novel really turns the heat up. Skillfully written and story boarded. Easy to follow dialogs. Beautifully drawn illustrations.
The ending leaves you on a cliffhanger that will make you curse out loud LOL 😉

Beautiful art for a controversial story line. A high school student has a romantic relationship with her male professor who marries her in secret after the girl's grandmother dies and she is left alone. What is the need for secrecy since she quite openly moves in his husband's house is beyond me, but that is the least surprise. The biggest surprise is that one of her schoolmates, a boy just her age, is her husband's secret son who slowly falls for her too. The plot gets complicated and the series is just at the beginning...
