Interesting, brutal, tender... I grew up wishing I could be a knight, and this series rekindled that desire to have an honorable liege again. (It included plenty of examples of why that's a very dumb principle to build your society on, but I just never thought I would have that feeling again.)

An alternate history that basically merges back into our timeline! I haven't seen that before.

I read this and vol. 2 years and years ago but it must've slipped through the book-logging cracks. Re-read because I'm restarting the series now that there's a billion volumes. I love Fumi Yoshinaga.

I truly believe Fumi Yoshinaga deserves the Pulitzer prize for Manga.

I picked this up today because it was about a "cute gay couple". it turns out it's also a great set of recipes and i'm gonna have to try cooking them all soon. i'm not sure if that's truly a good thing lol... anyway it made me hungry.

the translation left a little to be desired - especially converting the measurements to imperial - so if i get the next volume i might try to find it in japanese. but it's nice to have the prices in yen of things i'm likely to find in shops here in japan, even if the prices are a decade out of date.… (more)
