----Story 8/10----
I read Reimei no Arcana expecting a cliche story where the girl falls in love with a prince who basically hates everything, something big happens, she cries, he cries, blah blah blah, the end, they live happily ever after. Yeah!

I couldn't have been more wrong. Reimei no Arcana is one of the darkest and deepest shoujo manga I've read, making it very unique and interesting. This story is not your typical happy shoujo manga where the most trouble they have is the rejection of the other person. There is a lot more in this manga then it seems.

----Art 9/10----
There isn't really much to say about the art. It's great and it's nice I guess. The characters are all nicely drawn, both Caeser and Loki are good-looking and Nakaba's quite pretty too.

----Character 9/10----
At first, I absolutely hated Caeser. He seemed so much like a jerk that I couldn't really stand him but further into the manga, you get to know about his troubles and he just becomes a much better person. Loki is a different case though, I absolutely loved him from the start to the end. He is so caring to Nakaba and just seems like a really nice person generally.

Nakaba herself is another thing. She isn't happy-go-lucky like a lot of girls in shoujo manga, she isn't mean or selfish in any way, she isn't really clumsy and weak, in fact, she's very strong-willed and one of my favourite shoujo female characters. The character development of this manga is really good and it allows you to really understand the situation and the characters behind it along with their pasts and history.

----Enjoyment 9/10-----
I really enjoyed the manga and read it for hours straight. It just kept me going and interested in the next chapter. Good thing I read it after it finished or else I don't know how I could have waited.

----Overall 9/10----
Overall I think this is a good manga and my favourite to be honest. This manga gave me happiness, sadness and well, a lot of tears in the middle of the night. As I said, this manga is not just happy moments and comedy. It is quite dark and deep. So don't expect them to go to the beach and like kiss under fireworks or something.
