Seriously, Japan, what the hell? Let’s recap, using choice quotes from the IM conversation I was having at the time I was reading the manga (my friend’s responses excluded, of course):deliriouspancake (1:36:51 PM): In this manga, the main character is semi-royalty and can’t control any aspect of her life, and engaged to someone she [...]
