review 1: Volume 1. Chapter 1-4.This manga talks about the Red-headed Snow white. If you think it's the same as the Classic Snow White, you're wrong. I was appealed to it for two reasons:1st- I love unique things. 2nd- I love Red hair.After I read it, I won't deny that I got lil bit disappointed. I wanted to see more twists in the beginning. Don't get me wrong, it is not bad at all. It's nice and simple but I wasn't prepared nor expecting it to be pure, honest and peaceful. I was expecting Adventurous kind of events and it wasn't as I expected. So, it's recommended only if you want to read something that is simple and have nice characters.
review 2: "Red-haired Snow White" ("Akagami no Shirayukihime") will appeal to a very particular group of readers, only.This series is... more 100% innocent and pure, peaceful and calm. Despite the fantasy fairy tale middle age-ish setting, the main genre of it is without argument Slice-of-Life. It is episodic without an overlaying story, and the “conflicts” are quite simple stuff, usually resolved within one chapter.There is kind of a love story between Shirayuki and Zen, but the series is way too innocent to let its characters consider anything beyond a kiss on the hand, let alone dating.Shirayuki is actually pretty cool. She is strong, smart, can stand up for herself, but she is also frustratingly dutiful and altruistic. The kind of character who will overwork himself to the point of collapsing without telling anybody, because he doesn’t want to bother them.So, depending on which kind of reader you are, you will find this work either wonderfully relaxing, calming and sweet, or utterly boring. It is certainly recommendable for young readers, because Zen is the perfect gentlemen-prince, who will take care of Shirayuki, but never push her. If you want something fluffy and don’t mind a romance moving at a snail’s pace, it’s also a good choice. Personally I had real difficulty keeping my attention fixed on the book. It was too full of nothing. I’m not looking for fluff, but for a good story. As said, not a bad series, but for a particular audience. less
