Sakura of DOOM

Just to make sure you don't forget to avoid Real Fake Princess; The basic idea is that there was a rebellion 15~ years before the story, and the infant princess was sent away with allies to be raised in secrecy. Now that things are calm again, they want her brought back, only no one knows where she is. Her adopted brother tells her, and takes her back to the palace, even though she doesn't want to be the princess. The "hero" is the official meant to weed out the fakes, and is suspicious of everyone claiming to be the princess. So far, it's pretty normal, but could be a decent shoujo for its 5 volumes length, as long as he doesn't behave badly. However about halfway through volume 1, he orders her hair to be cut. When she objects, he wrestles her, pins her to the bed, shoves the scissors in her face, and tells her that if she doesn't obey all his orders, starting with the hair, then he'll have her brother hunted down and he'll kill him by shoving the scissors in his chest. At which point, I quietly closed the file, said a brief word of thanks that I try to read at least a couple chapters online or in the store before buying a manga, deleted the file, and went off to reread some Tsubasa.

The Jo Chen books I hope to read soon.
