May We Be Truly Thankful

Shuuei has an encounter with Seiran, one evening and comes away with a new appreciation of the Emperor he has. Drama, I-4

The weight of Shuuei's armor pressed over his shoulders, and it still felt like he was being stripped naked. And not in a pleasant way.

I feel your pain. I dropped by the bookstore the other day for a glance at the novels, and . . . well, they're way beyond my reading level, that's for sure. ::siiiighs:: Back to the elementary-school kanji textbooks I go.

Clearly I need to be checking out these novels. (Hey, I need the kanji practice... at least, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) So... I gather the series title is "Saiankoku monogatari" or something like that? Who's the author?

*looks around* Well, since I'm awake...

Saiunkoku Monogatari (彩雲国物語), by Yukino Sai. There are twelve volumes out so far, and it's serialized in The Beans. It is /huge/ amounts of fun, even in transation or summary *takes a moment to love on Shadow, fandom goddess* and should not be missed.
