Horribly abused by her family, Miyo's self-esteem is in the negative numbers when she's told she'll be married off to the cold Kiyoka Kogou with the assumption that he'll reject her and she'll die on the streets. Kaya is frustrated to overhear them still discussing Miyo, especially as she suspects Kouji's feelings for Miyo. As tensions flare and the once-happy couple lapses into misunderstanding, Miyo finds herself leaving home once again. synonymously known as simply Watakon, is a novel series written by Akumi Agitogi and illustrated by Tsukiho Tsukioka.

Given that this is Meiji Japan, "apprentice" is just another word for "indentured servant", so she isn't going to have a fun time of it.I picked this up because the anime is being released later this year, and I can confidently say I loved it! Yurie suggests something handmade and Miyo choose a kumihimo since Kiyoka always ties his hair with one. I also love that Kiyoka, being that he’s not used to showing emotions like caring for others and whatnot, is making a huge effort for her. Kiyoka, Ookaito and Kazushi are given an audience with Prince Takaihito who reveals that the imperial capital will be invaded by the Grotesqueries. In 2024, the anime adaptation was nominated in the Best Romance and Best Drama categories at the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards.

Kiyoka was cute, but there was so little to his character that I couldn't bring myself to see him as anything but 2dimentional. rounded up - it's a nice story and a better-written one than most light novels, even if the title and chapter titles are first person and the novel is written in third.If you asked me which anime was being talked about the most from the Spring/Summer 2016 season then I’d answer without a doubt with Re:Zero. We’re also introduced to several characters related to Miyo’s family, but they’re a bit too much of a spoiler to discuss in detail. The next day, an informant, Iwashimizu, shows Kiyoka the details of the investigation into the Saimori family. Miyo Saimori was born to a Gifted mother and father, which should have guaranteed her a comfortable noblewoman's life.

I wish we’ve gotten to know more of Sumi though since I bet I’d love her just as I love the other women in this story (excluding evil steps).She is treated as a servant by her half-sister who, unlike Miyo, is blessed with unusual powers, while her step-mother and very own father have little time or love for their eldest daughter. Miyo wondered if Kiyoka’s father would be disappointed and angry when he discovered he hadn’t gotten his son the woman he’d bargained for. I wouldn't be surprised if members of Miyo's mother's side of the family become prominent characters in later entries in the series, which could potentially lead to some exciting developments.
