The Red Sleeve, Volume 1

A palace maid and a crown prince, both with big dreams of their own, find their fates intertwined . . . . The manhwa adaptation of Kang Mikang's historical romance masterpiece is available in English print for the first time.

Sung Deokim is a bright and strong-willed girl training to become a gungnyeo, a palace maid serving in the royal court of Joseon. Unlike the other young maids, who enjoy daydreaming about romance and marriage, Deokim’s greatest wish is to live her life however she chooses.

In addition to her palace duties, Deokim transcribes literature to earn extra money and support her siblings. But her aptitude for complex texts soon catches the attention of the royal family, turning her side gig into a dangerous political game. And when the infamous crown prince gets involved, Deokim’s heart might be at greater risk than she’s ever imagined possible.

Volume 1 collects episodes 1–14 of the webcomic The Red Sleeve.
