Must Read
Similar Vibes, Different Flavors
If you loved the strong female lead aspect of Snow White with the Red Hair, then The Ancient Magus' Bride is calling your name. Chise Hatori sells herself into slavery (for reasons!) and becomes the apprentice – and future bride – of a mysterious, skull-headed mage. It’s as wild as it sounds!.
It’s got magic, folklore, and a surprisingly tender love story. It’s like a fairytale got a gothic makeover. Be warned: this one might make you cry. But the good kind of cry, I promise!
Next we have Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits. Our heroine, Aoi, can see ayakashi (spirits), and has inherited her grandfather's debts. The catch? She has to pay them back by marrying an ogre! She decides to open a restaurant in the spirit realm to clear her debt, instead.
This anime has gorgeous food animation and fun characters. It's a delicious blend of the supernatural and culinary arts! Think Studio Ghibli meets a cooking show.
For Those Royal Court Feels
Craving more political intrigue and courtly manners? Then let me introduce you to Saiunkoku Monogatari. It's about a young woman named Shurei, who dreams of becoming a court official – a dream usually off-limits to women. She takes a job to "reform" a lazy, uninterested Emperor.
This one is full of scheming nobles, political machinations, and a dash of romance. It's like a historical drama with a vibrant anime twist. Trust me, you'll be hooked on the conspiracies and the beautiful costumes.
Another great pick is Ascendance of a Bookworm. A book-loving college student dies and reincarnates as a frail little girl in a medieval world where books are scarce and expensive. Main wants to read, and will go to any lengths to accomplish this goal.
It's a charming and heartwarming story about the power of knowledge and the joy of reading. You will not be expecting to cry during this one, but you will probably shed some tears.
