赤髪の白雪姫 [Akagami no Shirayukihime] Series by Sorata Akizuki, Sorata Akiduki

Shirayuki is famous for her naturally bright-red hair, and the prince of Tanbarun wants her all to himself! But when she escapes into the woods of the neighboring kingdom, a young man named Zen and his two friends come to her aid. But who is Zen really…? This volume also features a special one-shot, “Colorful Seasons of August”!

Shirayuki begins her duties as a court herbalist apprentice, but her mentor is a bit odd. He’s quiet, shy, moody and…a child? Her first official duty is to quell an illness going around one of the forts that house Clarines soliders. Will she be able to discover the cause of the outbreak in time?

A job she loves, free time with Zen—Shirayuki’s life couldn’t be better. But the return of Zen’s brother, Crown Prince Izana, puts everyone on edge. Even worse, Izana has much to say about Zen’s red-haired friend. Will Shirayuki be able to overcome this new obstacle in her relationship with Zen?

Shirayuki lays her life on the line to help Kihal and her bird, Popo, prove their worth to the kingdom—which leads Zen to kiss her for the very first time! Now she can’t get that kiss out of her head. Will she be able to keep her cool around the man she’s falling for?

When a banquet invitation arrives from Prince Raj in Tanbarun, Izana tests Zen and Shirayuki’s budding relationship by forcing Shirayuki to accept. But before the young lovers can cope with their impending time apart, a new threat arrives in Clarines—and he’s got Shirayuki in his sights!

The banquet in Tanbarun begins, and Shirayuki and Obi are dressed to impress. But it’s not all frills and lace, as Zen learns that those aiming to kidnap Shirayuki have pinpointed her location. Against his brother Izana’s wishes, Zen rides for Tanbarun! But will he reach Shirayuki before danger strikes?

Finally rid of the Claw of the Sea, Shirayuki and company return to Clarines—just in time for Palace Exhibition Day, the one day the palace is open to the public. But as Zen, bedecked in fancy garb, performs his princely duties, Shirayuki realizes how wide the gap between them truly is.

Shirayuki and Zen finally have "the talk" about their future together. Then, a heavy rain forces the party to take shelter at an inn after seeing off Sakaki. But just as night falls, Obi slips away!

Shortly after Shirayuki and Ryu’s arrival in Lilias, a mysterious ailment breaks out. Now the two herbalists find themselves in a race against time to find a cure for the illness before it spreads throughout the city. And what will Zen and friends do when they catch word of this outbreak while on their way to Wirant?

After putting an end to the disease that was ravaging Lilias, Shirayuki returns home with Zen and the others. But on their next day off, Shirayuki and Zen embark on a new adventure—a date! Meanwhile, Mitsuhide is furious to learn that Kiki’s been keeping a life-altering secret from him!

Yuzuri, Suzu and Kirito travel all the way from Lilias to visit Shirayuki and friends, resulting in a delightful reunion—until the chief throws a wrench in their plans! Meanwhile, Izana pressures Zen to hold a banquet to seek out potential brides, but Zen has another idea in mind.

As news of Izana’s impending coronation spreads, people from all over travel to the capital city of Wistal. During the preparations, Zen asks Shirayuki to play host to Prince Raj of Tanbarun, sending shock waves through the palace. To think that a common court herbalist would be entrusted with such a task! But that’s not the only change coronation day brings.！

Shirayuki is headed to Lilias to work as an herbalist and researcher. However, she can’t hold back the tears when she realizes how much she’ll miss everyone. Luckily, Zen knows just what to say to her! And later, Obi makes a stunning confession to Zen.

Shirayuki and Ryu are back in Lilias to work as herbalists. Shirayuki wastes no time diving into her new assignment, spending a backbreaking number of hours compounding medicine. But she and Ryu aren’t alone for long before Obi appears on Zen’s orders and invites Shirayuki to join him for a chat—at sunrise, no less!

Shirayuki and Obi attend a royal soiree at the palace in hopes of meeting Rata Forzeno, the wunderock scholar. With his help, the Lilias team might finally be able to bring their orimmallys research to a speedy conclusion. But will Shirayuki and Obi be able to convince the elusive scholar to lend them a hand?

The orimmallys project is finally coming to fruition. But when the annual northern flu hits Lilias, the entire medical team faces a sudden deluge of field medic work, an experience that proves valuable for Shirayuki’s and Ryu’s training.

Will Hisame's scheme to position himself as Kiki's likeliest groom allow Zen and the gang to root out the real mastermind behind the attacks?! less

In order to reclaim the power his northern clan once held, Toka Bergat has attacked Sereg Knight Base. Zen is ready to fight back, but Toka is clearly out for blood and the prince’s head! Meanwhile, Kiki and Obi have saved Tsuruba from certain doom, and all three are racing back to the base!

With the Bergat conflict resolved, Zen heads to Lilias to enjoy some time off with Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Mitsuhide pays a visit to Kiki at her family home. He’s finally prepared to put his pride on the line and reveal his innermost feelings to her—but how will Kiki respond?!

Shirayuki and Zen are enjoying some rare time off up in Lilias when they spot Obi out and about with an unfamiliar woman. Their curiosity sparked, they decide to play detective and trail Obi! Meanwhile, Mitsuhide and Kiki arrive in Lilias themselves, where Kiki plans to make a full report on how she proposed to Mitsuhide and got rejected!

Zen’s vacation is over, and he’s back home at the palace. While Kiki’s engagement moves ahead at a fever pitch, Izana formally assigns Zen to a post at Wirant Castle. Meanwhile, the new glowing plant that Shirayuki and the others created in Lilias will soon be submitted for official recognition! As new paths open up for everyone, how will they resolve to move forward?

Hoping for permission to line the roads between the wintry cities with the glowing phostyrias plant, Shirayuki, Obi, and Ryu arrive at the Oriold checkpoint. The knight captain there won’t stand in their way, but due to political instability in the northern region, they’ll have to win over a certain Lord Lugiria. Deep in uncharted territory, can they light a path to the future?

After the soiree at the Lugiria estate, Eisetsu asks Obi for a favor. He’s been informed that a Bergat loyalist might be lurking in his territory, and he wants Obi’s help verifying the intel. The next day, Obi is off for a visit to Tsuruba’s manor. Meanwhile, a suspect aroma wafts throughout the northern lands, raising alarms!

Obi and Eisetsu are undercover at a masked ball, but they’re not acting like themselves! Most of the other partygoers also seem a bit off, except for one noblewoman. With her wits still about her, the woman flees from the venue—and Eisetsu follows in pursuit!

Shirayuki and company track Kageya and Ryu to their supposed whereabouts, but all they find is an empty house and signs of a scuffle. A conspicuous clue leads them to believe that Kageya has a secret greenhouse where she concocts the antidote to the menacing perfume, so that’s their next stop! It’s time to snuff out the unsettling aroma that has enthralled the northern lands!

The remaining villains loyal to Toka Bergat have been exposed and dealt with, and Shirayuki and company have at last received permission from Lord Eisetsu to spread the light-bringing phostyrias plant. Back in Lilias, as the team prepares for the next phase of the plant propagation plan, Ryu makes a major decision of his own! And it seems that a job offer has been posted in the City of Academics—one seeking an herbalist with very particular qualifications!
