A review by yvernell
Raven of the Inner Palace, Vol. 1 by Kouko Shirakawa

🙂
i picked this up because the anime ends in a really unsatisfying place, but this book really only covers the first half(?) of the show, so i would need to read further to get new content. it's nice getting dialogue scenes where i can imagine the characters doing a little more than sitting straight right beside one another while they talk (watching the show was a bit boring because they rarely used any kind of dynamic posing while the characters were haivng conversations.) i am interested in reading more, i'm just worried that if the relationship between jusetsu and the emperor stays as... stilted(?) as it already is, i'm going to get bored.
