Synopsis – The manga revolves around Nike , a determined princess with a mysterious power: she can control rain. After losing a game of rock, paper, scissors to her older sisters, she is forced to marry the king of the Sun Kingdom, Livius I. Livius conquered the world in three years and is known as the "Terrible King." However, when Nike meets him for the first time, she discovers, to her surprise, that he is a boy younger than her. Livius abruptly asks Nike to summon the rain, and when she refuses, he has her thrown in jail. The story follows the two, who, although initially a couple in name only, gradually begin to establish an emotional bond with each other.
Shiina wrote two one-shots for the manga in 2009 and 2011 in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine, and then launched the complete series in the same magazine in 2012. Hakukensha will publish the sixth compiled volume on January 20.
