Definitely prefer the serialized version's art more. It's suits the comedy aspect way better.
Also, Alicia is way prettier in the serialized version, imo.
Also, Alicia looks waaaaaaaaay too much like Rashta from "Remarried Empress", especially in the last bit of artwork. (Rashta is fondly referred to as "Trashta" by most readers/commenters, just FYI.
Anyway. Half of why I really enjoy reading this story is because of the art style it has, so I'm glad it wasn't like this promo. I mean, I can imagine the scene (in this promo's art style) where Alicia curses up a storm in several different languages after realizing that the full-blood princess tried to humiliate her at that party...but I really think the scene would lose so much compared to what we got. Which was downright fricking funny.
And Alicia's crazy interactions with her little brother would lose half their humor with a "serious" art form.
Yeah...I convinced myself again. I'm glad with what we got. Nice to see the promo, but I'll keep the series, thanks. 😄
