The central focus point is actually completely non related to the otome game manga's. It's mostly about family, growing up and the hardships of high society (this one is actually often used). The villains aren't particularly well written, the opening chapters were quite boring, the characters were being cliche sometimes and the story would slow to a crawl at times. It isn't perfect, not even close. But the art, the small hints that the characters still are quite child-like, the moments of simple character interaction and the scenes which have really pretty art makes it stand out quite a bit. It's much more akin to a slice of life manga more than anything. If you really like more emotionally focused manga, it might be for you. At least, if you can forgive the excessive amounts of tropes and small mistakes for the pleasure of reading some really good scenes.
