Welcome to Yamauchi, a world inhabited by the Yatagarasu, a race of three-legged ravens who shapeshift into humans. The land is divided into four regions—North, South, East, and West—each ruled by a noble family. Yukiya, the son of a leader in the North, is shocked by a call to attend to the Imperial Prince. Murder, mysteries, and an invasion from an unexpected enemy await in this epic fantasy.

The verdict
Senpai’s take
Season picksMust watchSpring 2024A rich fantasy epic of politics and palace intrigue in a kingdom of transforming crow people, torn by succession when the second prince is born a true golden raven. It cleverly withholds the prince until the end of episode 2, showing the world through a naive would-be bride and a reluctant retainer. A very promising slow burn that fills the void left by The Apothecary Diaries for anyone who loves fraught fantasy politics.
