Baku to Nemurihime (“The Dream-Eating Tapir and the Sleeping Princess”) by Yuki Fujitsuka

This story is a mixture of romance and fantasy. And combined with right topic, what was left was a fairytale. And I absolutely loved it.
At the start we are introduced to scowling princess Mary. She is only 13 years old girl but she is already throwing around remarks that would shame critical mother-in-law (ok, maybe I’m exagerating… a lot). She has everyday foul mood that concerns her father – king and 7(!) brothers as well as servants. Though she is adorable by appearance, her behaviour is very much not so. But what caused Mary to be like this? Is that just her born trait honed by doting family? Nope. Princess is only sleep deprived. Every night she is hunted by nightmares.
