An homage to Osamu Tezuka's manga of the same name, which I have been reading during my vacation. It's now available in English for the first time, I highly recommend it. (Part two just recently came out, about a month ago!)
I've been waiting all my life to read it. It was originally published in Japanese in 1953-56, and inspired the now clicheéd "princely girl" genre (including cult classics like "Lady Oscar/Rose of Versailles" and "Revolutionary Girl Utena.")
Just read the summary for this. And there's something bothering me...
...Even if girls can't inherit, shouldn't her getting married mean that it doesn't matter anyways? Why bother disguising her as a boy at all when you can just betroth her and give the kingdom as a gift?
