The Gentlemen’s Alliance Cross v. 1 by Arina Tanemura – 208 pages
Haine goes to a school for children of the rich and
privileged. She secretly has a crush on
the “emperor”, the president of the student council, Shizumasa. By “saving” him from a fake kidnapping, she
gets appointed to the student council to be his bodyguard. She starts to see how the school is really
secretly run, and finds out Shizumasa is more interested in guys than
girls. When the emperor banishes the
heretics- the group of delinquent students- they revolt, and Haine’s swift
sword saves the day. She learns
Shizumasa’s interest in boys is only a cover to avoid being bothered by
girls. Can she win his love after all?
Densely shaded and lined pages present an overabundance of visual
wealth in this manga. I was only
somewhat sympathetic to the hyperactive Haine as a heroine, and the cold
emperor wasn’t terribly enigmatic. I
will take a pass on reading any more of this series.
