Boku Dake no Ousama Series
Tagged under Lily Hoshino, Series.
A collection of stories:
1-4) "Bokudake no Ousama" ("My Only King"): while trying to escape from a very
persistent girl, Kazuomi Higuchi finds himself in an even bigger pinch when the sky suddenly opens up and a boy falls
from it, claiming he belongs to Kazuomi. The boy, Muterogien, was sent to
protect Kazuomi, who bears the royal crest of Muterogien's world.
5) After comparing horoscopes, Masuzawa
arrives to the conclusion that he's compatible with Yabana and...decides to date him!
6) Issei's bathroom is
haunted by a ghost. During a bath, the two discuss their feelings for each other.
7) Kakiuchi and Ogasawara talk
about their unlikely relationship and what made them fall in love with each other.
8) A fairytale-like story
about a kingdom ruled by nine kings, each with bizarre characteristics - one is mute, one never wakes up from his sleep,
another loves money too much, and so on. The story focuses on the ninth king, who "sells children for profit", and Rune,
a boy who is always returned by his buyers because of his bad attitude. After being returned again, Rune meets Emma, an
albino girl, and they become friends.

A big downside to this manga is the lack of resolution to the main story; it was OK but felt like it was just starting and BAM, you're smacked in the face with an ending (?). There's a hint of mythology and some characters that seem important but which are eventually forgotten or just mentioned in passing. IMO, this had a lot of potential but the mangaka wasted it on the other stories in the volume instead of seeing the main idea to a proper end. Though, the other stories aren't particularly good either; the last one was the most promising but the others are boring, with overused plots and unconvincing relationships.
