The authors did wrap up that shocker with a pretty satisfactory ending though. Read that spoiler to know more, made me pretty sad.

There is a lot going on after the 12th volume, Ou Ki’s role gets bigger and Shuurei ends up in Heki province handling a Locust plague. The volumes which aren’t animated are from #13 to #17. Volumes 1-12 are animated and spread over 2 seasons with 39 episodes each.The anime stops at volume 12 where the Emperor of Saiunkoku, Shi Ryuuki visits the Ran Province and gets Ran Shuuei back to the capital. This isn’t a summary but just a sort of recap. But I really have been waiting since the very day the release dates of the final volume were announced.įor those who’ve gotten out of touch with this series, here’s a brief explanation on what went by and what to expect.

I know it’s hard work for those who translate light novels or anything else for that matter, and to top it off, this one is a historical series with a political plot, no wonder it takes time and extra effort from our translators. After all, that was the conclusive volume of the series. I was expecting the translations for the Saiunkoku Monogatari light novels to be out by now. It’s been a while since I’ve had any time for fangirling over my favourite series.
