Mary has been working as a seamstress ever since she came to London six years ago. The dresses that she embroiders have become very popular in socialite circles, but she doesn’t receive any compensation for her work because her employer rescued her after she lost her memory and had nowhere to go. One day, Mary is pursued by a man in black on her way home. Several days later, that same mysterious aristocrat confronts Mary demanding to know why she ran away from their engagement!
My Review:
Devilish Lord, Mysterious Miss managed to be one thing in the beginning and a whole different thing in the end and I liked it a lot. The was a great mystery weaved in and out of the story and the plot was great too.
I loved the historical setting. It wasn't too obvious what time the story takes place in history which works for me since I don't know a lot about that era in the past. So the historical aspects of this story were great. Even the illustrations made everything look good. From the architecture to the costume design. And every character looked and acted different which is always good.
This is also about a grieving young lord who has been pining over the loss of his love. And keeps seeing her ghost. And a young seamstress who has amnesia who the young lord mistakes as his lost love.
I loved how he treated her. With such respect and adoration and in turn she loved him fierce. Truly a great romance.
Everything about this manga is great. I have nothing bad to say about it.
When I found out that Harlequin made manga I was shocked. So I requested some through NetGalley not expecting to get approved since my percentage is low. But I did get approved. And after I read it I was so into it that I wanted to read more of it. It's such a cool concept.
I have read manga before. My favorites being Josei and Shoujo manga (super faves are School Life ones) but its a Harlequin book adapted into a manga and for some reason that is cooler. Now I'm curious to know if the original story is exactly the same. I'm not going to read it but I'm just curious.
