        Many of you have probably heard of the new series Akagami No Shirayukihime, also known as Snow White with the Red Hair.   This is an amazing series, in my opinion

Akagami No Shirayukihime Opening

     This series is Shirayuki's story. The first episode starts off with Shirayuki. She has red hair (which is rare during this period of time). She has beautiful, emerald green eyes. She is running away from Tanbarun (her home country) because the prince  (Prince Raji) wants her to be his concubine. She cut her long hair and traveled to the neighboring country. She was an herbalist, and helped everybody.

She ends up in the kingdom of Clarines. She falls asleep outside of an abandoned house is the woods. In the morning she is awoken by a bird eating her food. She sits up and a good-looking boy her age jumps over the stone wall.  He has large, blue eyes. His hair is as white as the snow, and he is the second prince of Clarines. His name is Zen, and it was love at first sight...for both of them.

(C) To Owner

He hurt his arm trying not to fall on her. She feels sorry and explains that she is an herbalist, and tries to give him medicine. He says he will not accept it because it could be poisonous. Shirayuki is stubborn, so she grabs his sword and hits her forearm with it and says," Unfortunately, I don't make it a habit of carrying poison around."
After that he drops his sword, and let's her help him.





Shirayuki  doesn't answer why she ran away, when Zen asks. She tells them she is going on a  walk through the woods. Zen is as stubborn as Shirayuki, so when she decides to go to the woods he uses the line,"It'd be dishonorable as a gentleman to allow an injured girl to go into the woods alone."

When she is talking to him she leans up against a tree, and her hair gets stuck. She tells him to cut it off,but he wants to know why she cut it and why she ran away. When she tells him why he LAUGHS!!!
When they come back they are greeted with a basket full of apples, with the ribbon she used to tie her hair together, around it. Little did she know was that it was poisonous. Zen on the other hand had his suspicions, after he reads the letter. She was about to take a bite when he lifted her hand up and bit it. He told Mitsuhide and Kiki," Don't be mad." and passed out.


Prince Raj threatens to let Zen die unless Shirayuki begs him to be his concubine. Zen was already preparing himself to be poisoned sooner or later, so he was able to get up without the antidote. He busts open the door, and threatens Raj. The deal was if he stayed away from Shirayuki and never said her name again, nobody would know what happened. He promises and returns to Tanbarun.

In the end, Zen tells Shirayuki that she needs to choose her own fate. Her response was," Is that okay for me to decide?" He tells her it is, and takes his hand.
