Saiunkoku Monogatari – 58

Rejoice! Saiunkoku Monogatari is finally back! This episode is indeed like I expected: lots of introductions, lots of talking, and lots of marriage-issues. Surprisingly, Kouyuu didn’t participate in it, but Shuurei got two marriage proposals (one by Santa from Kochou and one from a newly introduced character), while Ryuuki meets another new character in the form of an energetic old man who keeps bugging him about his own marriage. About Shuurei’s new admirer, it seems that his father is forcing him to marry just because of the money. God, I hate that guy already. The guy himself is strange though, in a god way. It seems he isn’t keen on marrying either, but he’s also reluctant to defy his own father. He also buys some strange gold and silver-tanuki-merchandize from a mysterious merchant who’ll probably end up important somehow in the next few episodes. Oh, and Tei Yuushun did something special, though I have no idea what. Too much talking for me to understand, I’m going to have to go with Impz’s summaries to try and understand what went on this. This episode wasn’t anything special. It wasn’t bad either, but at the moment, with so many quality-series about to finish, Saiunkoku Monogatari isn’t really on my list of priorities.]]>
