Saiunkoku monogatari sub indo

Some of the highlights include anytime Shuurei plays the erhu and the OP/ED themes. None of the characters are there just for looks. Not much to say here other than Saiunkoku Monogatari does have an overdose of bishies. Even the simplest details connect to overall story and the plot becomes more and more developed as the show progresses. Essentially, Saiunkoku Monogatari is an engaging drama filled with political intrigue disguised as a simple reverse harem story. But I digress.Īt first glance, the plot may seem a bit shallow - a girl becomes the consort of a reluctant Emperor, let the silliness begin! - but wow does it become so much more. I will never understand why this show isn't more popular. Set in a fictional country, Saiunkoku Monogatari centers on the idea of meaningful leadership, its adversities and the rewards that come alongside a prospering nation. While tasked with transforming the new emperor into a responsible ruler, court life and politics prove troublesome as Shuurei faces the challenges of her new life. Luckily, she is not alone as Seiran Shi, her trusty friend, joins her as Ryuuki's bodyguard. Tempted by the generous compensation, she readily accepts the chance to become the young emperor's consort for six months. Shuurei is called to assist Ryuuki Shi, the new emperor who is known for slacking on his duties and preferring the company of men. Then, one day, an unexpected visit changes her life. While her father works a low wage job as an archivist at the palace, Shuurei has to juggle odd jobs to make ends meet. However, her dream is out of her reach as such a position is forbidden to women. Shuurei Kou, the daughter of a noble yet impoverished family, is a clever young lady who dreams of becoming a government official and contributing toward her country.

Unique shoujo with an interesting political aspect for a new type of romance o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

SAIUNKOKU MONOGATARI (Fantasy/Drama/Romance/Comedy) 2006-2007 - 39 episodes

Jun Shishido

Rating: 10/10

For all those who are looking for an engaging shoujo, with a heroine who is completely out of the classical scheme and a story where the romance is almost missing because the subjects are so far from this rather banal genre? In that case, this anime is for you. Immersed in a magnificent universe inspired by the Chinese medieval period, Saiunkoku Monogatari is a wonderful escapade in a fragile kingdom that needs a woman to save it.

Shuurei is the descendant of a renowned line of aristocrats who have become poor, and who struggle every day to obtain enough to feed her and her father. Brave and strong-willed, she faces her situation with great maturity despite her young age. Ryuuki, on the other hand, is a lazy emperor who is totally disinterested in the affairs of the state. Their meeting in sordid conditions will be the beginning of a very important change for the kingdom and for Shuurei. Invested in the mission of making the emperor responsible, she dreams deep down of taking the exam to become a high official in the palace, even though women are forbidden to enter. As they get to know each other, opening up little by little to reveal their deepest wounds, their relationship will gradually lead them towards their respective goals.

Playing perfectly between comedy and drama, Saiunkoku Monogatari is a succession of good surprises from start to finish. Apparently cliché at first sight, we discover as the episodes progress characters of a rare and worked complexity as well as an original plot. Far from the classic shoujo heroine, we discover a Shuurei ready to put her future and her independence before any love relationship, determined and fighting while keeping her sensitivity and her love for her neighbor. On the other hand, Ryuuki turns out to be a self-effacing young man, unsure of himself and uncertain of how to lead the country, and whom Shuurei's presence will help enormously to overcome his fears and weaknesses.

Not hesitating to enter the subject of the discrimination that women have always suffered, their place in society, and their daily struggle in this world that refuses to see them leave the shadow of men to walk under the sunlight, Saiunkoku Monogatari is one of those anime that conveys respect for human values, the sharing of knowledge and the questioning of the notion of power and its exercise. A beautiful story with multiple facets, don't hesitate for a moment to dive into a sweet romance with pastel shades and political undertones that will make you shudder as much as think.
