Oct 02, 2020It’s interesting to see the build up of unrest that we all know. Every once in a while, the mangaka will make narrative comments about how this impacted the tragedy that eventually befalls Antoinette. This serves to keep the reader grounded as they hope that Antionette can turn things around and build back the rapport with her subjects and nobles. Volume two also seemed much more connected to what was happening with Oscar, who is apparently the actual main character of the story. Volume one split a major of the time between Oscar and Antionette, so it wasn't always apparent. Oscar's decisions in the last third of this volume will most likely play out tremendously in the third volume, and it's most likely not going to be as easy as she hopes. Read Full Review
