oao's review against another edition
Troupes and genre, and not at the level of creativity I’d expect.

Really enjoyed this one! Unfortunately for me, it ended at a kind of cliffhanger! I quickly put holds on the rest of the books my library has, and can't wait to read more! I seriously forgot how much I like manga. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite things.

This book was received as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Having never read any of Toma's other stuff, but hearing awesome things, I thought I'd give this one a try. You've definitely now got a fan, and I'm excited to see more of this, the political intrigue side very interesting on top of some really good characters. I've been reading a lot of different manga lately, and this one calls back to the stuff I loved back in high school, the ones that are still my absolute guilty pleasure series. It also vaguely reminds me of the dynamics in Rising of the Shield Hero, but not in a bad way. I'm curious to see where this goes, and the characters are awesome.

This was so interesting! I loved the fantasy elements and I’m excited to see the romance grow in the series. I picked this up on a whim from my library and now I’m even more intrigued to continue with the series.
