For 'The Prince First Love' manga, you should read the volumes in numerical order, starting with Volume 1, as the story follows a linear narrative. I remember feeling that same desire for straightforward romantic progression with a twist, which I found in 'Prince Kurat , Nari', a web novel where a human protagonist must navigate a complex pact with three rival Lycan princes, blending political intrigue with a tense romantic dynamic that unfolds in a very deliberate sequence.
Is there an anime adaptation? Sometimes watching the anime first gives you the broad strokes of the main plot, then you can dive into the manga and read everything in any order because you already know the key beats. It's a different strategy, but it works for some.
At the end of the day, it's a sweet romance. You won't ruin it by reading a side story early. You might just get a little spoiled or confused for a bit. The art and feelings are what stick with you, not the perfect chronology.
Why overcomplicate it? Volume 1, then 2, then 3. The story is linear for the most part. People get tangled up because they see a 'Volume 0' or a 'Prologue' and think they need to start there.
Those are almost always supplemental material created after the fact. The intended entry point is almost always the very first published volume.
Honestly? Ask in the series-specific subreddit or Discord. Someone will have a pinned post or a beautifully formatted guide. These communities live for sorting out chronology debates and can give you the pros and cons of different approaches based on your reading style.

This prince?
He’s anything but charming.
I’ve never been the girl who’s dreamt of a prince rescuing me from a fire-breathing dragon before whisking me away to his castle.
So when I fly all the way to Ireland to find my long-lost dad, I have no intention of playing the damsel in distress to some dude.
But the night I encounter—and accidentally wallop upside the head—Prince Olivier of Salasia, my plans are completely upended.
This prince is the opposite of charming, though. After thirty seconds in his presence, I want to feed him to a dragon.
But fate is a fickle b*tch. Before I know it, I agree to team up with Olivier in the search for my dad.
As I travel across Europe with this actual honest-to-god prince, I wonder, what’s the worst that could happen?
It’s not like I’ll be stupid enough to fall in love with Prince Charming."
In Reychelle City, a contest was held to crown the most beautiful woman.
After my cousin scarred my face, she seized first place with ease.
What she never expected was that this year's contest wasn't for fame; it was to select the future wife of the Third Prince, a ruthless, bloodthirsty eunuch.
That very afternoon, gifts poured in by the cartload.
My betrothed panicked. That night, he tore up our engagement contract and carried my cousin into the bridal chamber.
The next day, she trailed her lacquered fingertips across my cheek and sneered, "Alicia, with your ruined face, who would ever want you? Perhaps the beggar at the street corner might take you in."
I caught her wrist, let out a cold laugh, and said, "Who told you I would marry a beggar?"
Before her stunned eyes, I pushed open my parents' chamber doors.
"Mom, since Maggie doesn't wish to be the prince's consort… let me take her place."
Three years later, before the eyes of a shocked court, the Third Prince entered the grand hall with me at his side, with two children in tow.
No one had foreseen it. This body of mine, blessed with the rarest gift of fertility, was the perfect match for a man believed incapable of siring heirs.
For the people to feel the Royalty of the blood in their veins doesn’t mean that they are ruling their kingdom, or they have some Kingdom.
Their lineage to the ancestors who are former and last rulers is more than enough to get the pride of being a royalty which they were taught from the time they started learning things.
Three Princes who are not going to rule someplace, but they have the title because of their bloodline and have education, wealth and skills in many things at the top range. However, to be able to love is a wealth which cannot be achieved by simply thinking about it or by some lineage.
They may be the Princes in the matter of their birth and the life they are leading, but they will learn more about the real wealth from three women who are princesses by heart.
The things they believe and trust will build a wall stopping the love from these princesses to reach them. Will it be broken to make it possible? If it is, then how and by whom? Or will prove to be too late by the time it breaks?

It's been completed for a while now! The final chapter was published in Japan back in 2021, so you can read the whole story without waiting. I remember feeling a bit bittersweet when it ended, but the conclusion wraps up the main romance nicely. Definitely a satisfying binge read if you're into that classic shoujo drama.
