What first drew me to this series was the captivating romantic historical aspect.

I was completely enamored with the idea of a modern day girl being mysteriously pulled back into the past.

There is something truly enchanting about those kinds of stories that have an irresistible allure for me.

Perhaps it is the inherent challenge faced by the girl as she struggles to fit into a completely foreign world and has to rely so heavily on the guy in order to navigate and get along in that strange environment.

The dynamics between the characters and the exploration of the past through the eyes of a modern individual make for a truly engaging and fascinating read.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this series to fans of Inuyasha, as it shares many of the same captivating concepts.

Both series offer a unique blend of romance, adventure, and a touch of the supernatural that is sure to keep readers hooked from start to finish.

Whether you are a die-hard fan of historical romance or simply enjoy a good adventure story, this series is definitely worth checking out.

Yuri is truly the epitome of the phrase "I'm not like other girls," and yet, there is a martyrdom aspect to it.

She stands out from the crowd with her unique qualities and perspectives. While others may conform to the norms and expectations, Yuri bravely forges her own path.

Her individuality is not just a matter of being different for the sake of it; it is a conscious choice that often comes at a price.

She endures criticism and judgment from those who do not understand her, but she remains steadfast in her beliefs and actions.

Yuri's martyrdom lies in her willingness to sacrifice the approval and acceptance of others in order to stay true to herself.

She is a symbol of strength and courage, inspiring others to embrace their own uniqueness and not be afraid to stand out.

Despite the challenges she faces, Yuri continues to shine brightly, a beacon of hope for those who dare to be different.

So here we are, precisely at the halfway point of the series, and at long last, Yuri and Kail have consummated their relationship. It's been a long wait, and finally, this significant moment has arrived. Also, I must admit that I completely forgot about Rufasa. Smh.


Kail makes an announcement to everyone, excluding Yuri, that he desires to make her his lawful wife. However, upon returning home, he discovers dozens of beautiful aristocratic women residing in the Seraglio. Damn you, Nakia! Throwing all those pretty women at Kail like that!


Although Shinohara makes them appear as if they are garishly painted strumpets...


Yuri has come to terms with staying in Hattusa with Kail, but unfortunately, the women are bullying her. I would be concerned, except this is Yuri, and let me tell you something. Yuri is capable of handling anything that comes her way.


And Princess Alexandra is back! Wahoo! She only has eyes for Yuri, so at least Kail can cross her off the list.

I think the only cliffhanger featuring a wardrobe malfunction that I can recall is a rather memorable one. It happened in a particular TV show that I was really into at the time. The scene was set in a crucial moment of the story. The main character was in a tense situation, and just as things were about to reach a climax, a wardrobe malfunction occurred. It was completely unexpected and added an extra layer of drama to the already exciting scene. The character's reaction to the malfunction was both hilarious and endearing, and it left me on the edge of my seat, eagerly waiting to see what would happen next. This cliffhanger not only made me laugh but also made me more invested in the story and the characters. It's one of those moments that I still remember vividly even after all these years.

Thanks to Yuri's heroic actions, King Kail and his army were able to withstand the attack and emerge victorious.

We often take many things for granted in our daily lives.

We wake up in the morning, go about our routine, and don't stop to think about the countless little details that make our lives possible.

For example, we turn on the tap and expect water to flow out. We flip a switch and assume the lights will come on.

But have we ever stopped to consider how these things work?

How does the water get to our taps? How is electricity generated and distributed?

These are all complex systems that require a great deal of planning, engineering, and maintenance.

By taking the time to understand these systems, we can gain a greater appreciation for the world around us and the people who work hard to make it all function.

We can also become more conscious of our own consumption and take steps to reduce our impact on the environment.

In short, by looking beyond the surface and asking questions, we can expand our knowledge and become more informed and responsible citizens.
