5. Tachibana Higuchi: I love Gakuen Alice and M&N series and I would love to read anything else that is written by her.
6. Arina Tanemura: I loved Gentlemen's Alliance Cross, KamiKaze Kaito Jeanne and A Sakura Hime: The Legend of Princess Sakura so I feel like I would love her other series as well.

I just loved pretty much everything about the series and I also loved Songs to Make You Smile which is a collection of oneshots she wrote which were all delightful.
3. Rick Riordan: I love his work because it's fun and adventurous but still has depth to it and the characters he write are always a joy to read about.

Manga Review: Sakura Hime:The Legend of Princess Sakura V.2
Sakura Hime: The legend of Princess Sakura V.2: Review
In the second volume Princess Sakura is given chance to be under the Emperor’s protection if she is able to defeat a Youko that has been killing people in the mountains and she’ll be able to return home and break off her engagement with Aoba. Through out the volume we learn that despite everything Princess Sakura loves Aoba and he half loves her and half hates her which makes for a complicated relationship.
In this volume there’s a Youko who’s been controlling or working with the Councilor and when Oumi, one of Sakura’s lady in waiting discovers this she’s threaten with death if she doesn’t trick Princess Sakura into going into a trap. I’m glad that Oumi decides to not trick Princess Sakura but I found her death scene were she tells the Princess about how her family died from being attack by youkos and how she sorry that she has a hard time accepting Sakura and Asagiri because of it.
I overall really enjoyed this volume and look forward to reading the next one. I continued to love Princess Sakura but I missed her friendship with Kohaku. I liked learning more Aoba since it made me like his character more. I’m also curious about the Youko that wants Sakura to become an Youko that killed Oumi towards the end. Please tell me your thoughts on the volume.

Manga Review: Sakura Hime:The Legend of Princess Sakura Volume 1
Sakura Hime:The Legend of Princess Sakura Volume 1Review
The Legend of Princess Sakura is by Arina Tanemura who also wrote Kamikaze Katio Jeanne and Gentlemen's Alliance Cross, the story is set in ancient Japan and is about a young girl named Sakura who has been betrothed to marry Prince Ora but she doesn't want to marry him because she has never met him so she rans away. After she rans away she looks up at the moon on the night of a full moon and then learns that she is a descend of Princess Kayuya who is the only person can kill the demons of the moon that are called Youko but since Sakura is her descend she can also defeat them and by the end of the book she vows to destroy the Youkos and protect humans.
This paragraph will include spoilers. In the middle of the volume after Sakura has went to live with Prince Ora she learns that Prince Ora hates her and he tries to kill her because she is a Princess of the Moon and he fears that she'll eventally turn into a Youko and kill him and the rest of his people. Sakura manages to escape but is very freaked out by what she just learned and she falls into a lake and almost drowns but is saved by a girl ninja named Kohaku who after seeing that Sakura is a good person she decides to protect rather then turn her into the Prince.
I overall really liked this volume and felt that quite a lot has happened in a short amount of time. So far I like Princess Sakura I can understand were she's coming from and she seems like a nice person and she pretty good with using her sword to slay Youko. I also really like Sakura's spirit friend Asagiri I find her to be completely adorable, she seems to be a good friend to Sakura, and in the side bars it said she had a sad past which hope we get to learn about in future volumes. I also love Kohaku because she's energetic, really nice and a good fighter. At this point I would really like for Sakura and Kohaku to be a couple because their so sweet together with them both wanting to protect each other but doubt it'll ever happen.
I also found the art to be very pretty and similar in style to the other series I've read by Arina Tanemura. I overall really liked this volume and I plan on buy the next one as well. Please tell me your thoughts on this volume.
