Shy Librarian and Teasing Prince: A New Innocent Love Fantasy Manga Begins
The world of manga just got a bit more romantic with the preliminary distribution of a brand-new series by Shuri Hirono. This story is actually based on the original work by Kizuki Hatanaka. The title is quite a mouthful but very interesting: "A countess gets her freedom after her engagement is broken, but when she uses her knowledge to become a librarian, she is recognized by His Royal Highness the younger brother of the king and becomes his exclusive agent." Fans of the genre are already buzzing about it.
Advance distribution for this series has officially started today, March 28th, on Comic Seymour. For those who want to dive right in, Episodes 1 to 3 have already been released. It is a perfect chance to see Carliana start her journey from a heartbroken countess to a respected professional in the royal library.

A Fresh Start and an Unexpected Encounter
The main character of this story is Carliana, a countess whose life takes a sharp turn when her arrogant fiancé suddenly breaks off their engagement. Instead of sitting around and crying, she decides to have a fresh start. She uses her vast knowledge to become a librarian at the royal library. Her skills are so impressive that her reputation quickly spreads among the royalty and aristocrats. It is really inspiring to see her find her own path like this.
One fine day, a very charming young man who looks a bit frivolous nominates her to be his reference. This is where the story gets really fun. It turns out to be an innocent love fantasy between a shy librarian and His Royal Highness, the King's younger brother, who is exceptionally good at teasing her. This dynamic is one of the reasons why Shy Librarian and Teasing Prince is the must-read romantic fantasy manga of the year for many readers.
