oyceterIn post-apocalyptic Japan, Sarasa is the twin sister of Tatara, the prophesied "child of destiny" who is supposed to restore the country and rescue it from the tyrannical ruler. Sadly, he dies. To keep up her people's spirits, Sarasa disguises herself as Tatara.
Along the way, she meets a cute guy named Shuri. Shuri knows she's a girl. Unfortunately, Shuri is also the dread Red King, one of the sons of aforementioned tyrannical ruler. Shuri doesn't know Sarasa is Tatara; Sarasa doesn't know Shuri is the Red King. Angst ensues.
So far, I don't have much of an impression, as the plot has just started to get going. So far, there have been pretty men in masks, cross-dressing, decapitated heads, and pirates. The art is very eighties, but I am hoping the story will end up dragging me in.
Reserving judgment until I read more.
