Preliminary (10/? eps)
At first, I thought that this would be the typical fantasy manga with some palace intrigue and classical romance plot (I mean, even the countries are named after single letters), but I was pleasantly surprised. This is a GOOD politica manga.

Compared to a lot of other shojo manga, it definitely leans more on the darker side and I really like that. After all, the protagonist watched someone's head got chop off like around the first five chapters and people being hung by the neck.

Now, the positive part of the series:
1. The art is amazing! I wasn't confused by any ...
