UH Y'ALL. REVERSE HAREM ALTERNATE HISTORY SET IN EDO JAPAN WITH A LADY SHOGUN WHO IS A BOSS ASS BITCH AT RUNNING THE COUNTRY WHO ALSO HAS A CADRE OF PRETTY BOYS AT HER DISPOSAL. THIS IS MY DREAM JOB. I WANT TO READ ALL OF THESE MANGAS.
Actual coherent thought: I really like how this fictional society works, with women being valued the same way men are in our society and men being viewed as the lesser sex. I don't like it because misandry (although misandry is pretty great lolz), I like it because I feel like it will make certain readers kind of evaluate why they may or may not view women as lesser than men. It is basically a society of Rosie the Riveters with men being precious, weak flowers that must be protected so they can help further the species and be fathers. It's such an interesting role reversal and it's done really well. I'm actually really excited to read the rest of this series.
