This was so frickin cute. I came in expecting a romance but it was a compilation of short happenings in the palace. I liked that it was like a little mystery being solved. It reminded me of all the anime I used to watch. It was so comforting and the romance felt so subtle that it was enough for me.

Fun! I fell in love with the anime and am enjoying the source material. The aesthetic and worldbuilding are interesting and I like the budding relationship between the emperor and the raven consort. The supernatural mystery of the week chapters are also fun to read and I look forward to seeing where this goes as the series builds.

Got this because I loved the anime so much, and I’ll definitely be getting the other volumes as they release. I was worried that it would be repetitive to read, but there was actually a good amount of insight to the characters that wasn’t able to be shown in the anime. I have mixed feelings on the prose as sometimes it was rich and others quite dry. That may be a translation issue though, but it wasn’t that distracting. The quality of the story really speaks for itself.
