Saiunkoku Monogatari

Summary

Kou Shuurei's dream has always been to become a government official, but to do so she must take the Imperial Examinations, which women are not allowed to do. To compensate, she works at a temple teaching children in order to pass her dream on to those who can do what she cannot. Shuurei was born into a noble familly, but she and her father, who live together with their adopted son, Seiran, are very poor. Seiran wants to be Shuurei's body guard because he wants to protect Shuurei..The house is in disrepare and Shuurei must work odd jobs to make ends meet, while her father holds a position as a librarian to the Imperial Palace, a job that is very presigious but pays very little.

Shuurei is very hard working and always does her best at both house hold chores and her many jobs, but she can be a bit of a workaholic sometimes and when she gets into something she never stops working to get the job done.

Shuurei's whole world s turned upside down, however, when she recieves a request to come and work at the Imperial Palace as the temporary consort and tutor to the young Emporer, Shi Ryuuki, who shows a very promenent distaste for the kingdom and seems to be especially dull-witted. Shuurei, with a bit of pushing and prodding, as well as some good advice and a very strong will, manages to get the Emporer to learn at least a little, but he might not be as thick-skulled as he seems. And maybe he sees more in Shuurei than he should, and therefore may be just the person to make her dreams come true...

I love this anime because it is an interesting when Shuurei try to take the exam, but she faces lot challenges from the greedy, evils, and inresponbility officers in the palace..So, it is not easy for her.. They always turn down on her because she is woman.. But, she is lucky because she get her friends who support her, especially the emporer Ryuuki. He cannot help her in the front of the officer because he is aware of his status as important 'emporer'. I think that they always love each other in their secret.. lol.. Funny,Shuurei thought that Seiran and Ryuuki are gay since beginning.. Maybe Seiran fell love on Shuurei so early since he is kid who adopted by Shuurei's parent..That is why he still want to follow her go to where.. Ryuuki cannot follow her and put his trust on Seiran and his friends when she gets the mission at outside..

This is very great! I finished to watch the season 1 and 2 ;Saiunkoku Monogatari. It still not yet complete, so it will continue to new season 3.. I will buy this anime when its complete! ^ ^

I know that it is not easy for Shuurei to choose Ryuuki or Seiran because she still love both!! :D

Better to buy new anime DVD or enjoy to read the manga Sainukoku Monogatari!
