    PRINCE IN DISTRESS
    A drunkard for a father, a household of poverty... For 17-year-old Atsuko, misfortune is all she knows and believes in. Until one day, a chance encounter with Itaru–the wealthy heir of a huge corporation–changes everything. The two look identical, uncannily so. When Itaru curiously goes missing, Atsuko is roped into being his stand-in. There, in his shoes, Atsuko must parade like a prince in a palace. She encounters many new experiences, but at what cost…?
     
    A heartrending modern love story.

    Praise for The Prince in His Dark Days 1

    "Definitely something I want to continue reading. I like the lead girl... she's an interesting mix of dark/bleak and shy and brighter once she gets some human contact." -The Manga Habit
