I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons

Leticia Dorman was only seven years old when she was engaged to Crown Prince Clarke, and she's been miserable about it ever since. Not because of him, exactly, but because becoming a future queen means endless etiquette lessons, rigid schedules, and zero freedom, basically the opposite of the wild, carefree kid she used to be. So when Clarke shows up to a royal ball with some mystery woman on his arm, Leticia doesn't cry. She celebrates. She packs her bags and bolts to the countryside, ready to finally live a normal, peaceful life. There's just one problem: Clarke follows her, insists the engagement is still very much on, and apparently has no intention of letting her go. What follows is a 12-episode TV series of comedic tug-of-war between a woman desperate for freedom and a prince who's suddenly way more interested in her now that she's running away. The dynamic between them is genuinely fun, Leticia isn't a pushover, and Clarke isn't a villain, which gives the whole thing a warm, playful energy rather than anything frustrating. It's a fresh spin on the runaway bride setup with a royal coat of paint. If you enjoyed the romantic comedy beats of something like Ojousama no Untenshu, or you're into lighthearted romance where the leads have great back-and-forth chemistry like in Ojisan to Marshmallow, this one fits that vibe nicely. Adapted from a manga and animated by EMT Squared, it's a breezy watch for when you want something comedic and romantic without anything too heavy.
