Summary
This is a charming work that was very loosely based on the life of Heian era author and poet, Sei Shonagon. The 27-year-old Shonagon, depicted here as a sort of medieval NEET, manages to land a job as the private tutor of a beautiful and refined 13-year-old, Princess Teishi. There are also a number of other quirky court ladies, some of whom have their eyes on Shonagon...
I kinda feel sorry for that scumbag there. His delusions were fed to him
by the worst kind of people who are merely using him; an orphan who
doesn't know where he came from, whom was picked up in a case of
mistaken identity (the plotting dukes actually think he's the emperor's
long-lost half brother, which is ironically Count Crixus' real identity
known only to himself and the emperor... though, there is a good chance
that he really is the emperor's half-brother, just not the one everyone
thinks he is, as the previous emperor really did get around quite a bit), and he was
raised to see all others as tools to be used and lessers to be ordered
around. The whole think is kinda sad and tragic. Ah well, assholes are
going to asshole; FAFO is always fun to watch.
