The World is Still Beautiful

Another great anime to watch or manga to read─which is still on going─ is Soredemo sekai wa utsukushii or The World is Still Beautiful. What is it about? A non-typical princess from a mystical land where the people can control the weather and even make it rain simply by making a connection with the land and atmosphere, and calling upon mother nature through a song, with thoughts and feelings. But what it's really about is this princess being shipped off to the main land to marry the Sun King who is the ruler of the world. Rumor has it that he's fat, ugly, old and mean. Even though she has other sisters as potential wives too, she loses to a rock, paper, scissors, and is sent away on a ship. She has a hard time getting to the castle and little money. But with the kindness and generosity of others, she makes her way there. When she arrives, the guards don't believe she's anyone important and try to get rid of her, so she gets into a fight. Eventually, she's let in. After bowing on one knee to the king, she looks up only to find a mere child of about 11 yrs, however, she finds that his eyes are not of a child. Their relationship starts pretty rough considering how cruel and unforgiving the king is. Things start to pick up, and eventually the king starts to see light and beauty in this new fiancée. Bit by bit, we start to learn more about his character and his past as well as the rain princess. A lot of unexpected things happen and I just find this story to be really interesting.

This anime and manga is both funny, dramatic, romantic and is filled with adventure and action! I would rate it 9/10! It's pretty clean, although there is one particular scene that seems like something bad would happen but it doesn't and there was actually good intention behind those actions (you'll understand when you watch the show).

So here's a link to watch the show:

And here's a link to the best manga site because all you have to do is scroll when reading and not click next for every page. But that's per chapter of course.
