But what happens when the king's ambitions blind him to that love? In another story, troubled circus acrobat Hibana finds comfort in the arms of another circus performer. But there's more twists to the story than Hibana's flips through the air. In the next story, a loving servant of a prince lets himself be put under a magic spell in order to spend one cherished night with him. The following yarn is about Canary, a very unusual boy who is owned by an old woman who exploits his talents, and the young stranger who meets him and teaches him about love. The manga concludes with two stories of students Okabe and Hidaka, and their exploration of their feelings for each other.

Alone in My King's Harem is a collection of short stories by Hoshino Ririi. Once again Hoshino has used her charm and taken us to a world of fantasies and fairytales with gorgeous and dreamy illustrations that contains a drema-like quality. There are many beautiful double-page spreads and the stories are surreal but quite moving. I'm not usually a fan of Hoshino because of the continual shota themes in her stories, but I think this is one of her better works and definitely a good read if you like this genre.

I enjoy this book - all of the short stories have cute storylines - some of them could be made a little longer though! There is a story about a concubine (male) and a king, a prince and a servant, an acrobat and a tiger... The graphics are lovely and in keeping with the stories and the stories are very cute!
