Prince In His Dark Days 4

Atsuko's father is a drunk, and she's shunned by her classmates as "the poor kid." Walking the streets in a dark fog of despair, Atsuko cons perverts out of their money to survive. Then, one day, she meets Itaru, the heir to a wealthy family, who happens to look exactly like her. Itaru hatches a plan- Atsuko will live his tedious public life for him, and she will get a taste of the luxuries enjoyed by the 1%. Everybody's (finally) happy. Right?

Dethroned A heart can only know true pain once it has known true love. For Atsuko, watching Ry work relentlessly for Itaru's sake changed something in her, and she falls in love for the first time. But one day, Ry 's dark plans of betrayal are revealed and Atsuko's admiration for him shatters. She must take action before it's too late, as Itaru's Coming of Age ceremony-where everything could go wrong-quickly approaches. Will the prince's stand-in, caught in the midst of an unstable empire, come to regret her decision? "Hico Yamanaka delves into heavier, more socially conscious subjects than most shojo does. Recommend."-OTAKU USA "What makes it such a wonderful read is the sincerity that comes across. The story also touched on the characters' sexualities in an honest, yet respectful way. Other manga should take note regarding how to handle this topic."-The Fandom Post

Ideal for readers interested in graphic novels.
