I am very much aware that there are lots of custom like this one since ancient times and unfortunately until now. I know very well that we should respect others’ opinions and beliefs and what they do with their lives but I really can’t understand such customs. Sometimes I genuinely can’t comprehend what’s on rich people’s mind or any other people for that matter. This was beyond abnormal but absolutely insane. While poor people struggle to have money, rich people struggle to keep their lives so damn complicated. This is the problem with rich and powerful people they always thinks that they are so special from others and have the privilege to do pretty much everything they want and that usually within their own brethren. This is one of the reasons why I am very much thankful that I am not that rich. Setting aside the story, I know a lot of people who have the same problems and they are all rich. The truth is, rather than be mad at them I pity them most of the time. I rather work my ass off with jobs to have money than be in this insane situation. At the end of the day, the only person who was most affected was the child. Murasaki, at a very young age was so mature already because of the adults around her. She should be a child playing and doing things that children should be doing. Because of the insane minds of the adults, the child suffered so much already even though she’s very young. By the way, she’s the only character who was genuinely effective. I like how cute she can be when she’s so naïve with the outside world and this was not because she’s rich but because she was literally kept from the outside world.
Anyways, regardless of that issue, there were still too much cliché in the story and main plot. A typical story about modern day damsel in distress and knight shining armor. I knew that this was a slightly romantic type of story but I felt that it was more of brother/sister love. I guess that was because of the girl’s age. Perhaps, if she was 10 years older and even with the same age difference it would’ve been more of a romance between boy and girl.
It would’ve been a great anime with such potential but unfortunately rather than be entertain I was extremely pissed and disappointed with the whole thing. I believe the manga form is slightly better than the anime form.
