The Story of Saiunkoku: Volume 3

by Kairi Yura (art) and Sai Yukino (story), 174 pages

Having accomplished her mission of getting the emperor to accept his responsibilities, Shurei returns home. But she misses occupation and still dreams of entering the civil service, though it is barred to women. When she gets a chance to secretly temporarily fill in at the Ministry of the Treasury, she jumps at it. Meanwhile, naive Ryuki's trying to run the country and come up with ways to win Shurei's heart.

Yay for Shurei for ignoring glass ceilings. Luckily for her, she has friends in (very) high places who appreciate her for her true worth. Now I just want to see the rules change so women won't have to sneak around in order to give back to their country.
