The Story Of Saiunkoku, Vol. 1 (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Ini bukan cerita cinderella yang biasa, walaupun tokoh utamanya cowok kaya dan cewek miskin. Yang bikin menarik, si cowok yang notabene kaisar itu selalu kelihatan polos, padahal sebenernya di balik "kepolosan"-nya dia selalu melindungi si cewek dari intrik2 di istana. Cuma di saat-saat tertentu dia menunjukkan kepiawaiannya, dan selalu ketika si cewek nggak lihat :D :D :DSecara keseluruhan ini manga yang sangat layak dikoleksi, ceritanyanya menarik, gambarnya bagus, dan banyak cowok cakep bertebaran di mana-mana, memanjakan para pembaca (wanita) :pVersi asli novelnya ada 18 volume plus beberapa volume cerita sampingan kalau tidak salah ingat. Sayangnya versi manga hanya ada 9 volume. Mudah2an pihak mnc juga berniat menerbitkan versi novelnya :D The premise delightful. The execution pathetic.Honestly this was saved from one star only by comparison with its screen adaptation.Conflicts feel terribly contrived, and every twist lined up is painfully obivous.Shurei Hong is the single biggest problem with the story. In a book filled with characters who are forgettable and dull Shurei stands out by sheer force of Sue. She is so very poor, but only by comparison to her station. We are always reminded of her hard work, but are never SHOWN her struggling for anything. She so peferct that a died in the wool woman hater instantly likes her.
