Boy Princess is a pulse-quickening tale of swords and sorcery, far-away kingdoms, and the fairest princess in all the land. Except...this is a fairy tale with a twist. When a prince's soon-to-be-bride elopes two days before their wedding, her desperate family dress up their young son and send him to get married in her place. With his deep blue eyes and flowing blond hair (and strategically placed apples), nobody bats an eye at the pretty pubescent standing before them. But how long can he keep up the charade? Despite the odds stacked against them, the two princes share adventures and intimacies in a story filled with imagination and visual delight.
Volume 9 Chapter 5 is a separate short story - The Last Thing to Do - starring familiar characters in modern time.

So sad

SPOILER
Ok why did Derek had to die?? no really it makes no sense , other then adding some unneeded sense of drama ( inhanced by the also unnecesary cruel remark from Shahi's mom : she's like do you love him? oh well too bad 'cause he just died , seriously what the hell? ).
As for the rest of the manhwa i don't know if it's my bad english, a poor translation, confusing look-alike characters or all combined , but at times i had trouble following the story (wich is a shame because it's a pretty decent story ).
There are of course also things i enjoyed ( like the main pair relationship ) but i guess the sadness from having just finished reading needs to pass before i can write a less gloomy review.
uwaa! that was such a good story! the artwork wasn
t my favorite but it worked! and it was sooo cute! and i don't know if i just wansted money by reading that cuz it felt like deja vu....but we! great read
Although, it's too bad there's not hot steamy love scene to make me blush. Still, this has to be the best story i've read in a while, the characters were interesting and the plot surprisingly deep not to mention, to all you yaoi fangirls out there: hot guys!
I was a bit disappointed at Princess Elena (sp?) she's not acting at all like a princess of a kingdom should act, but then again, if it weren't for her we'd never have the story to begin with, so i forgive her. In retrospect, Princess Reiny more than makes up for Elena's irresponsibility. And i loved her interaction with the crown prince (Nicole's brother, i'm not good with names), it's somewhat like Nicole and Jed's relationship if you think about it....
Finally, the ending left me somehwhat unsatisfied, especially with the REAL king's successor's death after being thrown off a horse?? (sad way to go if any) If she just left it as happily ever after, i would have been happy... although i do feel sad about Derek's death... hopefully Shahi will see past the face of Derek's son and find love again (although, with how stubborn that kid looked, i wouldn't put it past him to be able to completely obliterate all of Shahi's walls soon)
