The concept of the Rose Princess and her knights could easily tip over into S&M, but the author has chosen to make a joke of that instead. One of the knights adores being bossed around and yelled at, which gives Anise the creeps.
A fluffy, fantasy romance, the characters in Kiss of the Rose Princess stick to established tropes, much like in Ouran High School Host Club. Unlike Ouran High, this is not a loving send-up of the genre. Which doesn't mean it's not fun, just that it's not treading any new ground. Suggest to teens looking for another light shojo romance with pretty boys.
There are only nine volumes in the series. It's rated for teens.
