The Story of Saiunkoku, Volume 9 by Sai Yukino
3.0
I'm a bit disappointed to see Yukino elected to not actually have a conclusion. :/ I was looking forward to seeing how Shuurei performed at her first job! It felt like Volume 8 left us at the beginning of her journey, not the end.
Ah well. I suppose I can always watch the anime.
Anyways this volume ended up being a collection of side stories. They were alright although I did find myself struggling to remember all the family relationships again. Like is Minister Ko not related to Shuurei? I thought he was some kind of uncle but that makes the marriage joke make no sense. Too many dudes with flowing black hair in this series, who even knows who's who.
Also I don't remember Ryuren in the slightest and I feel like I would recall a flamboyant dude with a love for peacock feathers. :/ I repeat: too many dudes with flowing black hair.
I liked Yushin at the end though. :D Mostly for his ability to calmly handle ridiculousness but also a little bit for being blond. Good lad, I can actually tell you apart this way.
3 stars
