This week for Shoujo Saturday I’m covering a series that I found to be incredibly cliched. It’s Taiyo Ouji by Anisaki Yuna!

Plot Synopsis: Noriko has led a sheltered, overprotected life since she was little, not being allowed to play outside or take part in normal childhood activities due to her affluent background.

Then, during a school trip to Osaka, she meets Taiyou, who shows her that beyond the gilded birdcage she was raised in, there exists a dazzling world that shines as bright as the sun.

But, faced with overwhelming opposition, can Noriko somehow find the courage she needs to break free of the chains that bind her?

Plot: Honestly this series is about as cliched as you can get, at least it was a short series, only lasting 9 chapters.

Characters: Taiyou is probably the most likeable character in the series, but that is because everyone else is a dead stone compared to any decent series like Akatsuki no Yona.

Art: The art is standard Shoujo fare, in fact it’s so standard it has nothing of worth that stands out.

Overall: Avoid this series, unless you really love cliched stories.

For those who like: Romance, Cliched Plot.

Not for those who don’t like: Either of the above.
