Tigress Queen

SUMMARY

Barbarian warlord Kizarasunga and pampered Prince Jintu meet face to face for the first time at the negotiation table to end a war that has been raging for decades. Tensions are already high when the Emperor proposes a marriage alliance he is certain will solve everything. Needless to say, it doesn't go well... Or does it?

While neither is interested in a political marriage, both this graceful scholar and ferocious warrior find more common ground than they expect. Can these mortal enemies join hands before scheming opportunists take advantage of the mounting uncertainty?

Tigress Queen showcases an enemies to lovers romance with culture clash, reevaluation of ideals, and the occasional bath scene.

 

ABOUT THE COMIC

Tigress Queen first launched on the webcomic platform Tapastic (now known as Tapas) in January 2014 as I was entering my final semester of college. It found a new home on its own website hosted by Hiveworks and went through a total overhaul. As of Summer 2025 it is no longer associated with Hiveworks and is hosted elsewhere.

Tigress Queen Book 1 was crowdfunded through the Hivemill crowdfunder and while I do have leftover copies to sell, I am not quite ready to launch my new store.

You can read new pages of Tigress Queen as I finish them on Patreon!

FAQ

When does the comic update?

Tigress Queen originally updated on Fridays but over the years I have changed from a weekly upload schedule. Right now I simply post pages as I finish them to Patreon ($3 tier) and once a scene is complete I will upload it here in bulk. There might be months in between public updates so I encourage you to follow me on Bluesky or Tumblr, subscribe via RSS using the link TIGRESSQUEEN.COM/FEED or join my Discord to be notified when I post!

What happened to the comments?

Hiveworks was handling the cost of my comment section. Now that I'm paying for my own hosting (and I refuse to run ads) I am trying to keep my sites as streamlined and cheap as possible. I will not be continuing to host or moderate comments on my site. I would still be happy to hear your thoughts through social media and Discord, though!

Is Tigress Queen related to Far to the North?

As of Part 30 yes I can finally let you all in on the connection! Far to the North takes place hundreds of years before TQ.
