I'm actually quite surprised that nobody had started this thread, now I'm in doubt whether this is gonna be well received or not. Long story short, this manga is pretty good. I've never read "My Balls" series, but I assume the premise is somewhat similar & there's also a hint of "Rosario + Vampire", but less violent & more comedic.

It is written by Seo Kouji, who's the author of Suzuka & Kimi no Iru Machi. It is released bi monthly & serialised in monthly Blade magazine. At the moment, 2 volumes are released.

Spoiler:

The synopsis is Koizumi Yuta (a 14yr old boy) who was born with association of 6's, if he were to conceive a child with a demon, that offspring has unbelievable power. This is when Princess Lucia comes in, a demon herself, with an order by her father, she must procreate with him. However, the obstacles in her way are, essentially, guardian angels who takes form of sensei/classmates; Mikamoto El & Kasukabe Rie. Rie happens to be the girl Yuta likes. As the series goes on, more & more obstacles gets in the way.

No one created a topic about this ?
After all the rage of Kimi Iru, i like Princess Lucia better. :s

Seconded, this rocks, KNIM sucks.

Irenicus · 2011-09-22, 19:23

It's the only series of Seo I tolerate.

It's actually not that bad, in a generic harem that's been done a million times before kind of way. Light entertainment, which is, well, infinitely preferably to wangst.

Magin · 2011-09-23, 00:41

That's the biggest problem; it's overshadowed by his other works... he's rather infamous for all the goddamned drama in his other series (especially KNIM currently), and hence this generic harem is on the backburner

Marty17 · 2011-09-23, 05:01

I don't particularly dislike 'Kimi no Iru Machi', tried reading the 1st 40CH's, but it's too drama specific for my liking. In contrast with 'Princess Lucia', it's more light hearted & entertaining to read.

I wasn't too sure whether anybody liked this series, found it rather odd that NOBODY began this thread, but saw a few mentions on posts.

Dunno what's the protocol for this, should we start the discussion from CH0+ or just general about the story so far? If we do the former, I reckon by the time we've reached up to the recent CH(16), a new CH(17) probably be uploaded by then.

Mahou · 2011-09-23, 05:28

The first 40+ chapters of KNIM were actually decent

. Princess Lucia isn't bad and was even quite entertaining to read, but the last few chapters were - for me - just boring/uninteresting because the "fanservice-only" doesn't appeal to me in Seo's work. Then again, the only work of Seo I enjoyed was his one-shot Half and Half.

Marty17 · 2011-09-26, 05:19

Eh, I might as well get the ball rolling (even if it's just me making posts after another)

Or a complete idiot

I can't say this is great other than Seo art but it ain't bad either and surprisely storywise as well.

Some light fun to be had here, thats about it and it's not a series I keep with but read when the chapters pile up.

Still think Half and Half is Seo's best work, rest has been a tad meh on the whole when compared to it.

It's a very enjoyable read for me, no heavy drama and gradual progress between the main couple.

your a bit behind in your summaries mate....

i like this manga but i cant stand the guy his way too dismisive of lucia

Von Himmel · 2011-10-10, 15:58

What I don't like about this manga is just...well, i think Seo is not cut for drawing action scene

as for how the relationship between Lucia and the main guy, I think they're quite cute. I hope this won't end like KNIM or Suzuka regarding the relatonship between the main guy and heroine...

Kismet-chan · 2011-10-12, 00:38

Gasp! I remember this manga! Parts of it were sorta funny, but the art style often pissed me off. It reminds me HEAVILY of Hakoiri Devil Princess -- which is honestly better in EVERY way possible.

But I do like Lucia's chain tail. I though that was a neat design.

If you're referring to the pace, I'm doing that on purpose. If timed correctly, when I have reached to CH16, the new CH probably be out by then.

Especially a girl that you like (an angel) requests you to ditch Lucia & you reject that offer, makes him even more dependable. __________________ *"No reading. Hey! Can't you read?!"*

Marty17 Like What You Hate Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: UK	Spoiler for CH1: Ah, Yuta's mother is rather (too) open minded, walking on her son with 3 half naked girls, with a hint of "That's my boy!" in her mind. I found it (especially) hilarious that the Demon King is pretty much like a human that refuses to have surgery & ending up making the condition worst. __________________ *"No reading. Hey!

Marty17 Like What You Hate Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: UK	Spoiler for CH2: It's pretty amusing seeing El's constant purchase of Demon repellent that always fails to work for their primary objective (or severely weak) is gonna be a running joke throughout the the series (as we found out in the later CH's), as nothing spurs Lucia away from Yuta. __________________ *"No reading.

Marty17 Like What You Hate Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: UK	Spoiler for CH3: So far, my favourite character is introduced. Shiori Houjou is a 23yr old teacher but looks like she's younger, doesn't really help that she acts like a child too (try as she might to be an adult). I think she qualifies as a lolicon, which that characteristics I normally hate, but for this character, I couldn't help but think "Aww...she needs a hug!" 1 thing we've learned in this CH is don't make Lucia too mad, meteorite can be bought down to Earth & that's the end of Vol. 1 __________________ *"No reading.

Marty17 Like What You Hate Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: UK	Spoiler for CH4: Vol. 2 began where it was left off in Vol. 1, the emergence of Levia, another demon. She mistakens, respectively, Yuta & Lucia to be her mother after regaining consciousness. Now she seemingly sticks with the 2 (acting like parents to her), while she does have child tendencies, she means Yuta no harm. Since she does this because she suffers from amnesia, I wonder what her reaction would actually be if she regained her original conscious (she'll probably still be childish, but would she make moves towards Yuta? Seeing Lucia as her elder sister?) Still, Shiori stole the show for me. Sulks from the sight of Lucia's glare & throwing all the toys in the bath (& the only person to play with them) __________________ *"No reading. Hey! Can't you read?!"*

Marty17 Like What You Hate Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: UK	Spoiler for CH5: Lucia is onto an attack with the help of Levia. Yuta thinks he's safe when he takes a shower, not knowing that Levia can enter a room (or anywhere) that consists of water. Now he's stark naked with 2 girls (while his guardian angels are away). Lucia gets flustered seeing Yuta's manhood up close, while Levia thinks it's a boob & want to suck on it, but ending up connecting her lips with Lucia's breast. __________________ *"No reading. Hey!

Marty17 Like What You Hate Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: UK	Spoiler for CH6: We finally discover the faulty products that being sold the the angels were in fact a demon. With Yuta's enhanced strength (& non-willingly becoming a perverted beast) he's much stronger than Lucia. Just loved how casual Levia was, minding her own business to inflate a balloon. Also loved Lucia's reaction to Yuta aggressively ripping off her panties & all she could do is cover her face. You wouldn't really expect this from a demon princess. __________________ *"No reading.
