A historical reverse harem with supernatural elements? What's not to love?
I was pleasantly surprised by how dark, unique and overall well done this otome adaptation was. It took me two tries to get into it I'll admit (first time i watched only 4 eps, second time i completed it) because it was just not what I was expecting from a reverse harem anime and I suppose I needed to be in the right frame of mind to fully enjoy such a heavy anime. Mayhaps I cried at times. The dark themes include suicide and rape (the rape is of a minor character and it is

not graphic but still can be triggering to watch so be warned), and prostitution. (There may be more but these r the major ones I can think of rn.) The characters are all interesting, well-rounded and ofc incredibly handsome, with even minor characters having their own backstories and depths. The atmosphere is dark and sombre at times but that does not make up the entirety of the anime with its exciting mysteries and twists that will keep you guessing right up until the end. There is romantic hints but romance is not the main point of the show with the overarching plot taking centre stage. Overall I gotta say that both otome-lovers and regular anime fans will enjoy this beautifully crafted and very underrated anime.
