A very charming and beautiful comic, and a gripping story. I loved all characters, and there was enough plot to have a full story and be excited for the next volumes! I am not normally a comic reader but I truly enjoyed the experience!

A forbidden pairing including an enchanted suit of armor? What's not to like! This was everything I adore about webtoons. I can't wait to continue this story!

I thought this was a really cute read. It has an interesting premise and I curious about where the story will go next. There are themes about self-discovery, budding romance, and a war brewing. I was happy to see a diverse cast of characters (varying skin colors and hair textures as well as a queer couple). I also enjoyed the art style and coloring.

Suitor Armor, Vol. 1 by Purpah was a fun and interesting medieval fantasy graphic novel about a secret fairy named Lucia who is the lady's maid to the future queen and about all of the unique cast of characters around her, including an ensorcelled suit of armor that takes a liking to her. This volume also had a mysterious tilt to it as we were not yet told Lucia's backstory or what happened to her at the start of all of this. It was a light and quick read and I would be happy to continue once the next volume comes out. Recommend.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I was honestly unsure how I'd feel about this Webtoon (comic). I'd seen it on the site pretty often, but the concept and art style didn't immediately grab me enough that I started it. However, I wish I had, because it's really good! I loved the complex feelings Lucia has for the fairy vs human conflict, being born a fairy but raised as a human after her parents' death. The other characters are very enjoyable as well. I actually find the mage's flirtation with Lucia really cute, even if I know it's going nowhere. Just hope he doesn't turn into a buttface because of that xP Modeus is also *chefs kiss*. It's so adorable watching him grow into his own person with Lucia there influencing him.

Overall, a really cute webtoon whose art style grew on me. I should definitely check out more at some point 👀

Super cute and adorable. I love Modeus and who knew one could love a suit of armor. All I can say is I really enjoyed this cozy whimsical graphic novel.

Thank you to Netgalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for a copy of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review!

A 4.5 star graphic novel! Overall, I had fun reading it, but it read a little younger than I anticipated and I wish it was a bit darker.

Suitor Armor is a very cute story set in medieval times about hidden fairies, secret romances, magical metal knights and some light court politics.
I really liked and found the artwork of this graphic novel very aesthetically pleasing and super colorful.

I enjoy our FMC's personality and adventure seeking tendencies, she's also sweet kind and very welcoming of the other characters. Overall, most of our characters were nice and sweet. Between the knights there were competitive moments, and between our FMC and her princess best friend most moments were caring and understanding. The characters in this story are light hearted and nothing about the story feels dark in Volume 1.

The story progressed relatively quickly, and the development of our FMC's life trajectory already took a significant turn in this story. The plot was easy to follow and also equally light hearted in most parts. The human world seems to be warring with the fairy world which tends to be the darkest part of the story. My curiosity for this series is if it will continue in its light hearted trajectory or add some darker story elements down the line.

I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a sweet light-hearted start of a graphic novel series, with beautiful and colorful artwork!

This was, I think, the only webtoon comic I picked up that I hadn´t read before and it was a very pleasant surprise. I loved the characters and the setting, even though the whole falling in love with this silent armour was a bit weird at the beginning but I am not here to judge!!
The second I finished this volume I ran to Webtoon to continue, the story is compelling, the art is stunning and the romance is a cute slow burn.
I am honestly holding my breath for what will happen next and I will continue this series. I think it has great potential, Lucia is an amazing character and I can´t wait to see what´s in store for her and what secrets will be revealed!!

Cute graphic novel with fun artwork and interesting characters. Though short, I enjoyed the introduction to the characters and the start to the story. I’m curious to read a bit more. Thanks to NetGalley for access to it.

This is a wonderful character-driven story about a lady-in-waiting falling in love with an enchanted suit of armor! Such an odd concept but it was so much fun. Set in a Kingdom where fae and humans are at war - secrets are around every corner and magic (and romance!) is in the air.
I’m excited to pick up the next published volume of this Webtoon!

It was cute! Interesting world set up. Very much a romanticized medieval Europe setting but with fairies in it and magic. Humans hate and fear the fairies which makes it a little odd and kind of fascinating that a human king brought home a fairy child to be a lady in waiting for his daughter. Human sized but with wings and very pointy ears it would have been obvious to him. So who is the girl and why did he save her…? It’s the little details like that along with an interesting story that make me want to read the next book now!

This was such a blast to read from beginning to end. It is so funny and sweet and romantic. I love when a story combines a bit of seriousness with humor. It creates this beautiful dance and because you are so in tuned with and care about what’s going on the humor hits even deeper.

Seeing this big suit of Armor bumble around and start giving so much sass, yet also has this fierce connection and need to protect Lucia was awesome to read about. Lucia is living a life as an imposter. Yet, she doesn’t know anything about what it means to be a fairy or why fairies and humans are even at odds.

My favorite side characters in this webtoon are the cute gay couple. They have this sassy relationship with the suit of armor. The way they also love each other is so wholesome and adorable.

If you need an uplifting read that will make you laugh Suitor Armor is the perfect read!

The art style is very cute and the colors work well in contrast. The storyline was easy to follow without being too simplistic. I'm really excited for volume 2!

This is a wonderful fantasy graphic novel. I felt like it ended so abruptly but I’m looking forward to reading the next. The artwork was beautiful and vibrant. The picnic scene is the sweetest thing I’ve seen in forever! Can’t wait to read the next!

Suitor Armor is a fun romantic story about a fairy who works as a lady-in-waiting to the queen and a literal suit of armor who happens to be enchanted. It's sweet, fun, and overall just the read if you need something cozy and cute while also handling themes of identity and destiny.

Suitor Armor, Vol. 1 offers a charming blend of romance, fantasy, and mystery that captivates from the start. The story of Lucia, a lady-in-waiting with a secret fairy heritage, and her growing connection with the mysterious enchanted armor, Modeus, is full of intrigue and heart. The world of court politics, the brewing war between humans and fairies, and the blossoming romance between two outcasts are woven seamlessly into the narrative.

The art is beautiful, with a distinctive style that enhances the magical atmosphere. Modeus’s design, in particular, is striking, and the way his character expresses emotions despite being an animated suit of armor is impressive. Lucia’s struggle with her hidden identity adds depth to the story, especially as more secrets unfold in the castle.

The pacing is steady, but some of the plot points feel rushed, especially the developing romance, which could use more time to build organically. Despite this, the chemistry between Lucia and Modeus is sweet and engaging, setting the stage for what promises to be a compelling series.

Overall, Suitor Armor is an enchanting start to a romantasy tale that will leave readers eager to see what lies ahead for Lucia, Modeus, and the kingdom at large.

Suitor Armor by Purpah is the well drawn, well scripted story of Lucia and other court characters, a Mage, his metal creation, a Knight and his squire and Kirsi, Lucia's childhood friend. With the mix of secrets among the court, I will be eagerly awaiting the next volume.
