I fell in love with love between family and contry ,how the order of things are and the great (side story ) love is between the king and aldat in waiting, how everyone fall for her too.I have the whole series so far and waiting for the next one to come out. The anime show it also great watch
I bought the complete first season of The Story of Saiunkoku on DVD. After seeing the second season online, I was a little dismayed by the ending. There was a case not brought to an ending and the princess still had not chosen a love interest. I thought if I bought the paperbacks, I would discover what the emperor of Saiunkoku whispered to Shurei and if Shurei finally accepted his proposal. I bought volume 8 of the story of Saiunkoku; volume 9 has not been completed in English. So, I guess it will be sometime until my questions are answered. Oddly enough when the story has a sad ending, I can not bear to see the movie more than once and I will never keep the paperbacks. It would be nice if princess Shurei married the emperor and raised a daughter similar to herself.
"Shurei has been falsely accused of cheating on the Imperial Exam by those who don’t want women working as civil servants. Shurei must attend an inquiry to prove her innocence, but her opponents are plotting to make sure she never arrives at the palace." This volume is just a barrel full of laughs. These haughty civil servants are so predictable it's laughable. I'm so glad her uncle makes them pay double lol!
The main character is one driven little lady! I love her spunk! Yet, she is still feminine! Great.
Thank you!!!
