Once upon a time, there was a girl with red hair. This hair color is so rare that it reaches the ears of the country's prince, and he takes her as his concubine. And so they lived HappilyEverAfter...

Just kidding.

A {{shoujo}} manga loosely based on the tale of Literature/SnowWhite and serialized in [=LaLaDX=], it follows the story's heroine, Shirayuki, after she runs away from the prince of her country after being ordered to be his concubine. In the forest, she encounters a boy named Zen, along with his companions Mitsuhide and Kiki, with whom she becomes friends. The plot quickly branches out to include several more characters in its main cast, and many side characters also make reappearances.

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" literally translates to "The red-haired Snow White", with the official English title being "Snow White with the Red Hair". A two-cour anime adaptation by {{Creator/StudioBONES}} started airing as part of the [[{{Summer 2015 Anime}} Summer 2015 season]].

!! Tropes associated with the series:

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Zen, showing us how tough he really can be, and then forgotten after the first chapter. And then resurfaces. And then is forgotten.
* ActionDressRip: Shirayuki, on the boat, mixing in just a little bravado with all that DamselInDistress role.
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Ryuu.
* AloofBigBrother: Izana.
* [[spoiler:AnguishedDeclarationOfLove]]: [[spoiler: Shirayuki's, most definitely. Poor girl was crying as she said: ''"Zen, I like you. You are very important to me. I respect you, and I want to be helpful to you... I, also know, that I'm in love with you."'']] Also counts as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
* {{Bishonen}}: This series takes this trope and runs with it - any male character who's around long enough will develop into this, if they aren't from the start. Special mention goes to Zen and Izana.
** And then there's Kazuki, who is referred to as this InUniverse.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Sakaki to Raj.
* BodyguardCrush: [[spoiler: Obi has been slowly developing one for Shirayuki.]]
* ButtMonkey: Poor Mitsuhide is always being picked on.
** And then there's Prince Raj, who absolutely no one takes seriously. Even the narration refers to him as "the stupid prince".
* CoolBigSis: Shirayuki becomes something like this to [[spoiler: Raj]] over the course of the Tanburn arc.
* CoolOldGuy: Shirayuki's father, [[spoiler: the leader of the Lions of the Mountains]].
* DamselInDistress: Shirayuki, almost always because of her hair. She isn't pleased, and often [[ActionGirl tries to do something about it on her own]]. [[spoiler: Seems to have solidly fit this trope during the Tanburn arc.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Kiki.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Creator/SaoriHayami, Shirayuki's voice actress, also performs the opening theme song of the anime adaptation.
* {{Expy}}: Kazuki's hairstyle, [[{{Bishonen}} girlish features]], and general personality are very reminiscent of [[Manga/{{Kekkaishi}} Kagemiya Sen]].
* FairyTaleMotifs: It's a story based on "Literature/SnowWhite". Quite a few things should ring a bell here.
* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: That helpful guy Zen is actually royalty.
* [[RedHeadedHero Red-Headed Heroine]]: Shirayuki, [[InvokedTrope of course]].
* HeroesWantRedHeads: {{Discussed|Trope}} in-series. Shirayuki's red hair is apparently so rare and exotic that she hides it in public to avoid attracting attention; she's already had to fend off kidnappers intent on selling her to a harem.
* ImportantHaircut: In the first chapter, no less. Although it's not really important so much plot-wise as to define Shirayuki's character to the reader right off the bat.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: People around the palace consider Ryuu creepy because of his high intelligence at a young age and his interest in poisonous plants, and tend to avoid him.
* TheMedic: Shirayuki is fairly knowledgable about medicinal plants, and can competently provide medicinal treatment. She eventually becomes an apprentice pharmacist in Wistal Castle.
* NoSocialSkills: Ryuu has trouble communicating with others normally.
* NiceGuy: Zen, and most of Zen's TrueCompanions.
* OfficialCouple: Zen and Shirayuki.
* PluckyGirl: Shirayuki, shading into ActionGirl when the occasion calls for it.
* RebelPrince: Zen, with shades of TheWisePrince.
* ServileSnarker: Sakaki.
* [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Single Woman Seeks Good Prince]]
* TheStoic: Kiki. Ryuu often falls into this as well.
** Sakaki, full stop. He can take all of Raj's antics in stride.
* ThoseTwoGuys: The gatekeepers at the Clarines castle
* TwiceShy: Shirayuki and Zen.
* UpperClassTwit: Raj. [[CharacterDevelopment He gets somewhat better.]]
