Lapis Lazuli Crown
She's the daughter of a noble sorceror family down on its luck. She doesn't use magic very much because she's not that good--she understands the theory, just lacks control in practice. But hey she has (yet to be explained in volume 1) super strength.
He's the prince, but he has an alternate identity as an anonymous spaz.
The first three chapters all end with some variation on, "I will master magic & make it to the palace! I will!"
Oh, & the prince figures out that the heroine can't control her powers not so much because she sucks at control (as she believes) but because she's so awesomely powerful.
But when there's an emergency she kind of can control them.
Eyes rolling yet?
So, yeah, it's like that.
The Lapis Lazuli Crown, by Natsuna Kawase (or LAPISLAZULI NO OUKAN, by Kawase Natsune).
I can forgive this a lot because the author is clearly having so much fun with it.
And, you know, she created her own characters. :P
Translator Sheldon Drzka did his own script adaptation on the CMX version. That's different. Really, the script is a little shaky in places, but I think that may be from the original.
First volume has a back-up story, bizarrely titled "Daisy Romance." I would call it something else, like "The New Moon Thief." The back cover of the volume has a bit of art with the characters from that short story, & its heroine looks enough like Miel, the heroine of The Lapis Lazuli Crown, that I assumed it was Miel. Confusing!
Oh, well, it's very silly, but it's not offensive. Just tropey. OK, maybe offensively tropey.
