Prince Freya

8 volumes as of 4/14/2023, ongoing

Licensed by Viz Media.

The powerful kingdom of Sigurd has slowly been conquering all the lands that share its borders, and now it has turned its voracious attention to the small, resource-rich Tyr. Tyr cannot hope to match Sigurd in strength, so in order to survive, it must rely on the intelligence, skill and cunning of its prince and his loyal knights. But should their prince fall, so too shall Tyr… Freya thinks of herself as a simple village girl, but her idyllic life is shattered when she is caught up in the aftermath of a treacherous Sigurdian plot. She bears a striking resemblance to her country’s beloved Prince Edvard, who lays dying from poison. Without its ruler, all of Tyr will quickly be engulfed by Sigurdian violence. Now Freya must take Prince Edvard’s place and lead his valiant knights in defending the realm!

Due to....complications...I have fallen behind on collecting the volumes of some shoujo series from Viz/Shoujo Beat I have been following...But I will catch up and get the volumes I am missing. Hopefully soon. And hopefuly,there are more anime adaptations in the future. Let me dream.

Manga I’ve Been Reading and Loving: Prince Freya. 

So I’m like five volumes into Prince Freya, which is a shoujo manga released under the Shoujo Beat imprint, and it’s been very good so far. The characters are wonderful, and I think a queer reading of this text is massively easy. (Especially as one of the characters was implied to be in love with his prince, well before the series takes place.) 

So the plot goes that we have this girl named Freya, and her two childhood best friends are in the Prince’s army. One as his personal guard, the other as just a soldier. The prince is poisoned, dying, and Freya happens to look just like him. So she disguises herself as the Prince of the kingdom to lead his armies and protect the kingdom. 

(For shoujo / josei fans you can probably feel that Rose of Versailes inspiration from a mile away.)

Again I think a queer reading of this text is easy, I think any shoujo where you’re dealing with a girl prince makes for an easy queer reading as the lines of gender are blurred. I think also for Freya’s love interests the lines of sexuality are blurred (though at least one seemed to be romantically attracted to the prince before the prince becomes a girl prince.) 

Also the action is incredible, and the story is heartbreaking. One of those shoujos where game of thrones wishes it had the depth and feeling in the shocking moments. And one of those shoujos where it is more action driven than romance driven.

Honestly highly appropriate reaction to the ol' "I had to force a kiss on you in order to get this medication into your body" trope.

You are not cool or sexy Sir Julius, you are a birb with worms.

12 Days of Manga 2022

Day 7: Favourite Trope

I have so many favourite tropes (especially when it comes to Shojo) that range from “The Grumpy One is Soft for the Sunshine One” to “Pretty Sure This Makes Me a Furry”. But instead here I’m going to give a tribute to all the Women With Weapons! May we one day get to see you all animated properly. (Seriously, Prince Freya might not be my favourite, but it would make for a great action anime when’s that gonna happen?)

So in alphabetical order, and only from those volumes/chapters I have read this year:

Edda from Prince Freya with a wood axe (M: Keiko Ishihara T: John Werry L: Sabrina Heep E: Pancha Diaz)

[ID: A woman in a long cloak holds a wood axe in two hands with an almost sensual expression. The handle on the axe is in line with her lips and the blade just above her head. She is in a castle, surrounded by skeletons in rotting clothes, many of them with swords sticking out of them. Black Speech bubbles read “All ye who wander the empty night... your names are... brother of sleep...”]

Freya from Prince Freya with a sword (M: Keiko Ishihara T: John Werry L: Sabrina Heep E: Pancha Diaz)

[ID: An adrogynous looking person (Freya) in a medievil-inspired soldier’s uniform and half-plate, smacks a sword into the side of a man in a full set of plate armour. The impact looks immense. Freya’s eyes are bright white, her teeth clenchd in determination.]

Kiki and her sword from Snow White With The Red Hair (M: Sorata Akiduki T: Caleb Cook L: Brandon Bovia E: Karla Clark)

[ID: Kiki points her sword directly at the head of a young soldier collapsed on his knees in the pouring rain. Her expression is that of showing no mercy as the boy yells at her. “This grand scheme may come to naught... ... but if he is permitted to live, my brother...”]

Lucy Yang from Blue Exorcist with her black daggers (M: Kazue Kato T: John Werry L: John Hunt)

[ID: A short, elderly chinese woman with her hair in a bun wears a traditonal robe. She stands ontop of a circular platform made of rock. She has a pipe in her mouth, and three daggers stick out of the long sleeves of her robes. Sound effects on either side of her read “Kting” and “Klang”. Someone off panel shouts: “The smaller demons disappeared!”]

Margret of Anjou from Requiem of the Rose King with a dagger, proving that I support women’s wrongs as well as women’s rights. (M: Aya Kanno T: Jocelyne Allen L: Sabrina Heep E: Joel Enos)

[ID: A faceless woman in Mid-1400s British Clothing stabs the leg of a blooded and batterd man tied to a pole causing him to cry out in pain. “Show me the same of your disgrace... ... or else my anger shall never be quenched!!”]

Mitsuri from Demon Slayer: Stories of Water and Flame with her Katana (M: Ryoji Hirano & Koyoharu Gotogue T: John Werry L: John Hunt E: Jennifer Sherman) 

[ID: Mitsuri protects a terrified woman and child from an unknown enemy. She brandashes her katana in one hand and holds a bomb made of stuck together dynamite. Her braided hair flies about dramatically, she has a fearsome expression.]

Rangetsu and her trusty polearm from The King’s Beast (M: Rei Toma T: JN Productions L: Monaliza De Asis E: Pancha Diaz)

[ID: An androgynous looking person with fox ears and a tail wearing an ancient chinese-inspired soldier’s uniform sits ontop of a pile of rocks. She is surrounded by dead bodies that at first glance appear to just be part of the rock formation. She has a mournful expression as she rests her bloodied polearm against her body. ‘No matter how much blood got on my hands. Even when... it coated me so heavily that the weight of it never went away.]

Silvia Sherwood from Spy X Family using a belt as an improvised weapon. (M: Tatsuya Endo T: Casey Loe L: Rina Mapa)

[ID: A middle aged woman with a ponytail and wearing a black skirt suit uses a belt to elegantly smash in the face of a security officer, sending him flying backwards. Sound effect in japanese is translated as ‘fwak’.]

Yae from Demon Slayer: Stories of Water and Flame and her hunter’s rifle (M: Ryoji Hirano & Koyoharu Gotogue T: John Werry L: John Hunt E: Jennifer Sherman)

[ID: A girl in traditional japanese winter mountain clothing, wearing a bandana/scarf over her black hair. She has a sad yet determined expression, as if holding back tears with everything she has. In her hands she holds a 1910s style hunting rifle with two spare bullets in her fingers. In boxed text: Aim for your target’s vital spot... And then squeeze.. the trigger.]

Yoshino from Yakuza Fiance with a knife (M: Asuka Konishi T: M. Fulcrum A: Sopha Tyrant L: Arbash Mughal E: Abb Lehrke)

[ID: Colour Page of a high school girl straddling the lap of a high school boy. She is pulling him aggressively by the collar, the wooden shieve of a knife in her mouth, and said knife at the boy's throat having already begun to slit it. She looks at the viewer with a ferocious glare. The boy is looking way too into all this. Text reads "Chapter 1: No place for a sore loser (Part 1)’]

Zacro from Tokyo Mew Mew and her whip (M: Reiko Yoshida & Mia Ikumi T: Elina Curran L: AndWorld Design)

[ID: An Older Teen Girl with long black hair, large wolf ears and a tail wears shorts and a heart shaped crop rop. She has a fur lined collar. She aggresively holds on to the end of a lasso/whip that is wrapped around a large moth like beast creature that is looking threateningly at her. A younger girl in a tunic and shorts raises her hands in the air in celebration. She has a monkey tail.]

[ALT: Manga Panel from Prince Freya. A dark haired man (Aleksi) in a cloak swoops off of one horse and onto that of another rider (Freya) in similar garb ]

I’m going to be honest, about 90% of the reason I want more Action Shojo animated is my desire for horse stunts. There just aren’t enough cool horse stunts happening in anime these days, and that is clearly a result of misogyny not wanting horse girls to have a good time.

[sailor-brunette]

If Prince Freya doesn't get an anime once the manga is completed, I'm suing. I mean,it’s selling well,and we’re getting more fantasy shoujo anime adaptations lately. So maybe there’s a chance. But only after the manga is finished,because I want them to animate the whole thing. I will not settle for less.

Prince Freya, which is basically The Prince And The Pauper, if the prince was dead, the kingdom was in the middle of an invasion, and the pauper goes through a literal hell-

This series is absolutely beautiful and I really hope we see it animated someday!
