A subversive and psychologically dense fable about a Princess.
Both The Tale of Princess Kaguya and Princess Arete have emphasis on the melancholy of a young girl being forced to behave as the perfect ideal of a princess and all of the subsequent conflicts and developments derives from this premise, with the difference that kaguya leans closer to a historical drama and arete has a more extensive fantastical worldbuilding in a medieval european setting
