alt title: The Princess of Sylph

A princess, the last of her line, begins to break under the weight of her grief and the pressure to protect her kingdom. An odd, meddlesome nun is the only one notices that something is wrong, and insists on staying by her side. But why is she so dedicated? And why is she so sure that a legendary royal heirloom is a fake...?

Princess of Sylph is a story of yuri persevering--it was cancelled by the publisher after volume 3, but the author continued it independently. And I'm really glad they did. Princess is cute, funny, well-crafted, sincere, and worth seeing through to the end. A labor of love makes The Flower Princess of Sylph my yuri rec for August 2025.

Volumes: 4

Licensing in English: First three volumes by scantalation only; starting with volume four, official translations available on the author's fanbox (patreon-style)

give me ruby, who gets compared to summer constantly by people who knew her, how alike they look, how surely ruby will grow up to as great of a huntress as her mother was. the expectations, the struggle for identity that is her own without feeling she's doing something wrong if she wants to differentiate herself from her mother.

give me yang, who doesn't get compared to raven, not to her face, at least; it's all hushed whispers, people gossiping about the occasional red eyes and what they may mean. until the tournament, that is, and the match against mercury, and the comparisons begin in earnest, the change in attitude towards her apparent.

give me the complex feelings that come with them both, the potential resentment yang could feel towards ruby because summer was the only mother she knew, too. how she'd feel towards ruby having the family name, the emblem, the significance of silver eyes as a hereditary trait—and how ruby would miss this all, because she'd never see yang as anything but summer's daughter, as well.

how all of this would make her miss the signs of ruby's own struggle against the legacy summer left behind, because she only sees it as a positive, compared to the negativity that comes with being raven's daughter.
