The second volume and I had fun! While there were moments that I enjoyed more in the anime over the manga, there were moments that I loved more here. Like how she handled that lady-in-waiting, it was WAY more threatening in the manga. Or the minister who was dumb enough to eat the soup. I loved the banquet and all that happened there (so many hair pins for MaoMao) + some good mystery + exciting moments. I just love how Lady Gyokuyou took her under her wing and how the lady-in-waiting really care for MaoMao. Plus, the art is really pretty! Love the facial expressions.
I am still not sure about Jinshi, he is a bit too eww for me and should really get the fucking hint that NO is no. MaoMao isn't a toy. She isn't a new thing for you to fawn over. She clearly has no interest. She is clearly disgusted. Leave it.
