''"In a fairytale world where Queens rule and magic is power, a young princess is sent on the biggest quest of her life - to rescue a prince in need! But when she does, the prince is not so willing after all..."''
Imagine all fairytales you have read in your life. They all share the same formula: A dashing prince, a princess in distress, love at first sight and after some difficulties, a loving wedding and a happily ever after. Well this fantasy story is ''not'' like that.
InAWorld where women are the dominant gender and men serve under them; Princess Amaltea is given the task of find and rescue a prince in order to marry him and inherit his mother's Queendom since as the second born, she's unable to inherit her mother's. Our young heroine is all but excited at the idea but accepts in order to prove her value.
After weeks of travel, she founds a towel guarded by a dragon and realizes her time to shine has come! She slays the beast, goes to the tower and founds a sleeping, beautiful prince and wakes him up with a kiss...For then the prince to wake and freak out and declare he's not marrying her!

''"In a fairytale world where Queens rule and magic is power, a young princess is sent on the biggest quest of her life - to rescue a prince in need! But when she does, the prince is not so willing after all..."''
Imagine all fairytales you have read in your life. They all share the same formula: A dashing prince, a princess in distress, love at first sight and after some difficulties, a loving wedding and a happily ever after. Well this fantasy story is ''not'' like that.
InAWorld where women are the dominant gender and men serve under them; Princess Amaltea is given the task of find and rescue a prince in order to marry him and inherit his mother's Queendom since as the second born, she's unable to inherit her mother's. Our young heroine is all but excited at the idea but accepts in order to prove her value.
After weeks of travel, she founds a towel guarded by a dragon and realizes her time to shine has come! She slays the beast, goes to the tower and founds a sleeping, beautiful prince and wakes him up with a kiss...For then the prince to wake and freak out and declare he's not marrying her!
''Sword Princess Amaltea'' is a Fantasy manga created by Sweden artist Natalia Batista and published by Kolik Förlag since Fall 2013. It used to be published in Inkblasters until its shoutdown in February 2015 and has now its own web page [[http://natalia.batista.se/spa/index.html here]].
The story presents a curious flip in the Gender Code: All-- usually male-- positions are hold by women and viseversa. Women are dominant, intelligent, powerful and commanding while men are demure, passive and don't hold much importance unless they're royalty. Yet, in this world where traditions and the StatusQuoIsGod, some dare to slide out of their role and long for more than what it's dictated by the code...
Expect many of the gender coded tropes to be flipped.
