During the holidays, M-Chan and I spent a few evenings watching The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom on Netflix together. I have to admit that, at first, the title did not exactly inspire confidence.

Shibou Yuugi de Meshi o Kuu is a truly unique series, and that is exactly what makes it so fascinating. From the very first episodes, you can tell that this is not a typical story.
