SAIUNKOKU MONOGATARI: PUBLISHER/FAN LOOKS INTO BUYING LICENSE TO TRANSLATE NOVELS.

Go vote in her/his interest-gauging poll if you have any interest in seeing the light novels published in English. And spread the word. Each volume has to sell a couple thousand copies to be cost-effective. Surely there are that many of us!

Shuurei. Rocks. So. Hard.

That? That was just beautiful. That totally makes up for her not kneeing Saku in the balls, the way he is clearly in need of. (Though, I have to admit, that hairdo was almost as good.) Fuck around with Kou-hime, will you? Ha!

*extremely pleased*

Shunki is also turning out well; they could have given her a better voice, but she's clearly another ass-kicking Hyou lady.

I'm also quite taken with the complexity of the politics overall, in this show. It's very nearly historically accurate. We'd need some eunuchs floating around to complete the picture, not to mention a whole lot more dynastic turnover, but this is gratifyingly labyrinthine.

I think I may need a Saiunkoku icon.
