I received this manga from Edelweiss/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I loved the look and the sound of this one so of course I had to get it when I saw this one (and many others) on Edelweiss! And boy, this was a lot of fun!

In this one we meet a girl named Rosa, who wants to be a knight! No one knows she is a girl though and she also tries hard to hide it. I didn’t even know she was a girl until we started getting more hints, like the scene when she is changing and comments her growing boobs, or how she misses her long hair, things like that. I love that she is a girl though, that really flips things because a lot of times these books/manga about boys wanting to become heroes, but here is a girl with the same wishes and I just adore it! I do wonder how long Rosa can hide it. I mean, for now she is small, her boobs aren’t too big, but eventually people will start to notice when her body changes more, I am curious to see how that will affect things. Plus, given that there are plenty of hints (she has her own room/toilet, when they go out for a trip she has her own room and doesn’t want to bathe with them which the guys think is odd but they think she is shy) I wonder how long it will be before someone figures it out before the big changes come.

But I loved following Rosa through the days of becoming a knight. For now mostly menial tasks like making sure the horse stables are clean, making sure the horse is happy, getting food and drinks for the knights, clean up, and much more. But as the story continues we see that she is getting more chances and I love that the knights were also kind enough to explain to Rosa why she has to do these tasks. Yes, they may seem meh and not fun, but there is always a reason why.

Along the way of following Rosa we see how the castle works and how it grew to be what it is now, we learn about the knights, jousting, various customs, food, and more. Plus, we meet all the people living in the castle, from the kids from the lady/lord (one quiet and studious girl and one rambunctious boy) to the blacksmith, the cooks, and the washers, and everyone else. I loved getting glimpses in every aspect of the castle.

Rosa is also extremely clumsy and falls over quite often, but no worries her head is made of steel it seems because when she falls over the stones crack. Which just made me laugh. How often did this girl fall before having a skull like that?

I loved that in the sides/margins of the pages we get information about the time period, items like weapons, food that is often eaten during this time, and more. It really brought something extra to it all.

The art was quite pretty and I love how well the style fits the medieval setting. The author definitely did their research and it is fab.

All in all, I definitely would love to read more of this series because I would love to see Rosa get to be a knight! I am rooting for her~
