Raven of the Inner Palace, Vol. 1 by Kouko Shirakawa
3.0
The last chapter made me want to continue the series, but I really really hope it becomes a bit less episodic in it's form because it feels like reading a TV show made in late 90, early 2000.
The nature of the Raven Consort's magic is not super clear either. She does help ghost and such, but it's unclear what she can and cannot do. It isn't well explained, or explained at all for that matter.
It also seems like the world outside their own is not fully fleshed. The inner palace doesn't seem to exist outside of the "cases" that are investigated.
I did like the characters and some of the "mystery" behind their history, lives and such. I'm curious about the main character relationship.
Hopefully it improves narratively, but also, I wish Seven Seas did better proofreading because the frequency of mistakes at the end of the first chapter really pissed me off. I usually don't mind a certain amount of mistakes in a translation, but this was next level careless and made we feel like the publisher didn't care enough about the series to do better.
