This book is probably the worst. I’m serious considering not finishing it. The relationships between characters - especially between Ai and other main/side characters- makes zero sense. There’s no reasonable motive as to why they do the things they do and they just change their minds… for no fucking reason at all. I said this twice already but the art styles is the only thing that makes this book worth reading… and the only thing that’s stopping me from marking this book as DNF.

This was by far the most entertaining part although the story got as random as it could, the undercover cop appeared out of nowhere. -. And then Ai turning out to be Nora's cousin... It felt like we finally kind of started to get some plot and then they just wrapped everything up as fast as they could, the ending was just a few mouthfuls of chat boxes between two characters talking about how the story may end.... yay? (i mean, good for me, I guess, less pages to go through).
The art is still by far the most amazing thing about it.

Sometimes, it's difficult to pull off an ending to a series that is fulfilling and brilliantly done, and still leave just enough loose ends to let the fans know these things will be tied up in a secondary series.
This third and final volume in the original Princess Ai trilogy does just that. We finally get a few more answers about Ai's past and what has been going on in Ai-land, we have all three Furie sisters present (with a reformed Tess at that, who'd have thought?!) and the story closes on a beautiful and powerful note. The story clearly isn't over with that ending; there's still a lot to be done but the way in which this entire volume was executed and the manner in which "emotions are powerful things" was handled was intense and just...so brilliant, as I said before.
This entire trilogy has a somewhat whimsical feeling to it, in my opinion. There's enough fantasy and intrigue to satisfy lovers of "other world" fantasy manga series, but there's also the aspect of contemporary focusing on the life of a diva. And towards the end, it's become much easier to relate to the characters and to love them. Heck, it's just easy to fall in love with the series as it is. I don't think I could be happier that I finally gave Princess Ai a chance and started collecting and reading it. Believe me, it's worth a try, even just once.

Repeat review, since it applies to all 3 volumes:
This was complete garbage, obvious wish fulfillment by Courtney Love about an edgy, amazing, hot, talented otherworldly princess with a ridiculous plot and not one believable or relatable thing happening.
