About Suddenly Princess

Looking for background on Suddenly Princess (でたとこプリンセス)? This comedy and fantasy series by J.C.STAFF (1997) starts out like this. What the story covers: Lapis is the princess of Sorcerland. She's beautiful, mighty and has a sparkling personality; it`s too bad that she's not that bright.

Along the way, she'll go to any length to protect the most innocent of creatures even if it means destroying the domain to do so. Lets not forget her obsession with pudding! Detatoko Princess is a laugh-out-loud lampoon of all the fantasy stereotypes you've come to love with a generous heaping scoop of slapstick!

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Kohaku (Tomokazu Seki) and Lapis (Yuuko Miyamura) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 3 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
