Tamura-sama, takes historical elements from different countries, and different centuries, blends them perfectly well, draws them in a very pleasant way, although the proportion on the face leaves a little dissatisfaction, when passing from the chapters that feeling moves away.
The character development is extremely impressive, without leaving behind the story itself, it is a masterpiece, maybe everyone should read this type of manga. Where the characters develop quickly, they quickly understand what happens, what they lack, what they want and what they should do.
On other issues, in modern times feminist art has been taking much of the current controversy in all parts of the world. (And I do not mean an excessive empowerment in this position, quite the contrary, is to find in the world what you can do with all your abilities and virtues or deficiencies as a human being and to develop with firmness and confidence. Feelings are not only of women, the strength not only of men).
Well, Tamura Yumi-sama is great, just a mastermind to be able to develop the characters, of course the favorites: the heroines, who deserve the title of being called.
Unfortunately the animation did not have much attention, apparently the manga did not do it for a long time. The animation was only the beginning of what would later become a wonderful, stressful and totally interesting story, the characters are so many that only 10% of this entire Tamura-sama universe remained (in animation).
The voice actors and actresses are from the "old school", they are too good.
The music isn't impressive, but it doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth either.
