Why this isn't one of the more popular Animes continues to leave me in shock. - Saiunkoku Monogatari isn't some simple, one-two,half-heartedly done reverse harem Anime. - The depth it takes with each characters background and personality make this politic romance drama so much more than any Anime has ever shown. The characters. Personality. History. Storyline. It's all so perfect. Nothing's rushed. Everything eventually gets explained. A shame that the Anime series couldn't continue on. - I'm no fan of historical Animes but this particular one got me hooked.
