The story seems to be plotted out fairly well up to the point where Merrill is introduced and the 'manga' begins, as it happens at exactly chapter 100. I found it to be entertaining up to that point. Once Merrill is introduced, it seems to lose focus, however. Suddenly Britney finds out there's another person who regained their memories in the southern country, Merrill is immediately offputting and in everyone's faces, and it's contrived that most of the main cast are now traveling down to visit the southern country despite all their duties and obligations. And of course the person with their memories back is a prince and wants her to throw away everything and marry him down in the southern country.
