Manga - Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime ~ Lovely Kingdom 1

And finishing up the Futago Hime stuff I got... a just a bit different Futago Hime than the one we know (^^;;)

Here's Fine and Rein. Style is pretty much standard shoujo, pretty well done. Everybody seems older than they do in the anime...

...Rein-chan, how old are you again? 8, right? Isn't that look a bit, well.... (^^;;;) Of course, Eclipse is a bishie now.

Leonne's still kawaii :)

 
あんた...誰？
anta... dare? (Who are you?)

It says Miruro, but this definitely isn't the Miruro we all know and love in the anime to say the least (^^;;;) She's the bad guy in the manga... causing trouble for Fine and Rein with some kinda magic she has. It's almost if her and Altessa switched personalities. Altessa seems more like a good little sister now. The other princesses don't really do much, so I dunno about them...

The basic flow from the anime still goes for the manga, Miruro does something bad (or something else happens), Fine and Rein use the Prominence to fix things, so on. The story's completely different from the anime, though. Miruro's the one that starts the princess parties since she's the type that wants to show that she's best among other things...

kawaii~ :)

From what I've read elsewhere, the Bright->Fine->Eclipse->Rein->Bright stuff should be coming in the next volume. Anyways, an interesting different take on Futago Hime... though a bit rough to read for Miruro fans like myself (^^;;)

And this has absolutely nothing to do with Futago Hime, but... there was an insert in there for Chuchu, and there was this about a manga Yuu Yabuuchi's doing (remember her? Naisho no Tsubomi). It's called "Anicon", as in "big brother [but not related by blood in this case] complex" (^^;;;)
