only 9 volumes?!? and it's complete already?!?
I hope they finish until the last volume of novel!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!
So, we could have a proper ending at least on manga. If they don't adopt the rest of novel into anime.
I'll honestly collect all of the volumes a.k.a. purchase them officially (online), IF it will cover the rest of the novel until the "real ending" or even at least a "better alternate ending."

Shuurei did end up with emperor. But only in the novel. Since the manga ended abruptly in Shuurei passing barely for government position exam. While the anime in s2...I can't recall but it's still incomplete too.

i think it has good art and the plot's interesting at its start, but i don't like the reverse harem (i think it's irrelevant) and somehow there're too many supporting characters that i can't remember all of the names.
to sum up, i like the way the author build the background and the mangaka's art work, but i don't like the plot

can't get enough of this manga and anime. love how some of the characters have 'hidden' personalities. and I agree, the character and plot twist build ups are awesome!
i really hope they make a season 3 for the anime and make the other light novels part of the manga

I've watched the anime, and the ending of THAT series dissapointed me.
I am a lil hesitant on reading the manga, cause i was pissed off about the ending of the anime. I know they are usually different, but still.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
You'd think that Shuurei would accept his feelings and they'd end up together, but it just drags you on. There was more romance between her and that bad guy, but she like doesn't show much love to the emperor. >: ( poor guy.

awww the characters are all so cute. they all have their own presonalities that make them special and unique. especially the majesty. hes adorable so cute. I havent seen the anime but i think the manga is not as bad as the people say it is. I also think its best to read the manga then watch the anime always best to do that.

Loved the Anime

It was one of the best things I've ever watched/read, and I'm not saying this lightly. Sigh....there are so many good things about the story, especially all the political intrigue and ongoings, which I love. All the characters are likable, and each have their own distinct personality. There aren't many extremes personality wise. My current favorite characters are Shi Seiran, Yougetsu (love this guy), Ensei, and Ran Shuuei along with Kou Shouka and (minor character) Kijin Kou, the treasury person. I would have liked to call Shuurei one of my favorites as she is the main character, but I felt that she was too naive. Her personality was real enough, but I guess I just like the extremes anyways. ^.^'
Personally I like Seiran better than Ryuuki. Ryuuki is just too childish. Sure he might play on some maternal (and I'm assuming that most of the people who read this are female) feelings, but it gets irritating sometimes. Seiran is much more mature and (most of the time) reserved.
This is most interesting josei I've read/watched so far. Interconnecting plots, intriguing backstories, along with an fascinating universe make it a definite read/watch. But those that are just hung up on action stories wouldn't like this genre. Don't read it if you don't like politics (and I use that term loosely).
EDIT:: Never mind, my favorite character has become Sakujun. Curse you episode 35!!!!!

I agree, it rocks, shame that the manga is so far behind the anime, but it actually is much truer to the novel than the anime is. The novel is still ongoing and is past the anime now (by a couple of volumes). I like the art, the backgrounds are so detailed.

I'm very happy that a lot of people really like Saiunkoku Monogatari. It's such an interesting story and it's not like the others.It's really a josei, Fave_chan? I thought that it was also shoujo. So sad. Until now, it still isn't updated. I hope that they will continue the anime. Well, my favorite character would be Seiran, because he's so passionate, don't you think so? Especially at the time when he slammed his fists after getting really pissed off with Sa Sakujun. Anyways, you're all really cool!

I really liked this one. The art is well done the character build up is realistic. Sure it is typical in a lot of ways but it is not overly syrupy. Which is nice because I'm tired of women being portrayed as idiots and having no desire to better themselves outside of getting the man. This is a good repeat read.
