First, be warned. This comic is a two-parter. There is a second Lord Calthorpe's promise which contains the second half of this volume. The story starts off with Lord Adam Calthorpe, a respected army officer who makes a promise to look after the sister of a impulsive young officer. When the officer is killed, he finds himself encumbered with an obligation to look after Katherine. Meanwhile, Katherine is having troubles of her own as her Uncle and his evil family are bent on taking over her estate and inheritance.
This was a really enjoyable story. Unlike many harlequin manga, it worked much better because the story isn't as abridged, and so even though it is a two-parter you really get to know the characters. I liked both Katherine and Adam, and you really sympathize with Katherine and the troubles she has with her evil family.
The art is really lovely and the artists do an excellent job of portraying all the characters to be lovely and authentic. I thought Adam and her even cousin were really handsome characters. The clothing and wardrobe of all the characters is elegantly portrayed. This has been my favorite HQ manga read to date.
