Trust is hard to earn. Rangetsu has many misconceptions of her prince. Each volume reveals more of the palace intrigue. I wonder if the fact that Rangetsu is female will play an important role in the revenge and justice for her brother.
The development between our leading characters is very compelling.
So good!! Rangetsu had so much development in this volume!!!
fast-paced
This volume starts with Tenyou and Rangetsu are invited to dinner by Oushin and Teiga, which is being held at a brothel, oddly enough. This stirs misgivings in Rangetsu, who gets drunk with Teiga to drown her sorrows. Is this jealousy she feels? We get much court intrigue at an evaluation of the princes' beasts, where Rangetsu gets poisoned. During her recovery, Tenyou takes her to visit Sogetsu's grave, where the two talk, giving us a chance to get to know them better. Lots of secrets hinted at!
The art is still gorgeous, and the tension continues to build. Next volume please!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
***
Rangetsu and Prince Tenyou are really no closer to finding out who had her brother Sogetsu killed when he arrived to be the Prince’s beast servant. Rangetsu is determined though to put her life on the line to protect the prince because she sees him as the best hope for the Ajin.
This volume saw a competition being put into play for the emperor to start narrowing down which of the princes are fit to take over the throne next which possibly gives Rangetsu and Tenyou a chance to see all the princes in action and start narrowing down their suspect list. A slightly slower volume action wise, Rangetsu spent a lot of time trying to come to terms with her decisions and choices she’s made, haunted by the brother she lost.
The art is still adorable and lovely as ever and the story certainly seems to be building to something, will be interesting to see how long this series will be and who the real threat is of the princes.

This volume was so cute! Definitely still a lot of sad moments, but there were also a lot of funny ones. I really enjoyed the subtle romantic moments too❤️

Good thing Human Resources isn’t a thing here. The way the prince was rubbing on Rangetsu was a lil inappropriate lol. The Rangetsu’s finally starting to be honest about herself and her struggle to trust Prince Tenyou. There are some weird dreams too that have Rangetsu questioning herself.
I really liked the conversation about the brothels. What’s just a night of pleasure for some is a life of prostitution, with the ills that come with that, for Aijin women. I want more of the beast servants. They seem very interesting.
