Overview
Shakuya, princess of the Dragon Tribe, can turn into a dragon, and has two fiancé. One fiancé is Lucien, who was missing for a long time, now returns. The other is Kuwan, the captain of the guardians in the village, who she loves more. She has two tattoos on her arms; a rose for Lucien, and a Bellflower for Kuwan. These flowers grow as her affection for them grows. The story is about their three-way love. Even though Shakuya is in love with Kuwan, Lucien is determined to change the mind of his beloved Shakuya.

Characters

 * Shakuya: The daughter of the Queen of the Dragon Tribe. She has the ability to transform into a dragon. She is very energetic, which annoys her fiancé Kuwan to no end. She loves Kuwan more, but it is shown when she is young to have loved Lucien very deeply. She has a tendency to end up in some compromising scenes.
 * Kuwan: The captain of the guardians, also Shakuya's fiancé. He tends to act cold and distant, which Shakuya has mentioned. He is the 'replacement' fiancé that was put in the place of the then-lost Lucien. He doesn't like Shakuya's ventures out of the castle, and often does not listen to her when she explains why she is out (which is usually to see him).
 * Lucien: The missing fiancé of Shakuya. After many years, he returns and causes some problems for Shakuya and the rest of the Dragon Tribe. He likes to, when talking to Shakuya, end his dialogues in some sort of seductive act. According to author, his name comes from Chū Shin Chi, the Japanese name of actor Stephen Chow Sing-Chi.

Reception
Jason Thompson praised Shakuya's self-assuredness, and appreciated the age-appropriate level of fanservice in the manga.
