Honest, intelligent news and reviews for manga romantics
Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries is a manhwa first serialized in Issue magazine, a publication by Daiwon, under the title of Lady Detective. It has been licensed in English by Seven Seas and the first volume printed in August 2012.
The Gist: (from publisher) Lizzie Newton, a young upper crust lady with a budding career as a mystery writer, is expected to know her place in Victorian society. Her father has arranged for her to marry the handsome Edwin White, who has put his rising career as a lawyer on hold to prove his love to Lizzie. While the headstrong Lizzie tolerates earnest Edwin, she is not yet ready to accept him as her fiance. Besides, Lizzie is distracted by something far more important: an apparent suicide has occurred in the manor, and Lizzie is ready to solve her first real life murder case!
Mystery and romance, attractive artwork, and well developed characters make this volume a highly entertaining read.
