皇帝陛下のお世話係~女官暮らしが幸せすぎて後宮から出られません~ [Kōtei Heika no Osewa-gakari: Nyokan-gurashi ga Shiawase Sugite Kōkyū kara Deraremasen] #1

A charming opening volume from Square Enix, this manga follows the premise of a court lady so content in her imperial palace life that she simply cannot bring herself to leave. The cover beautifully sets the tone, centering on a bright-eyed young woman in flowing pink and white robes who carries an elegantly arranged tray — cherry blossom petals drifting all around her — while a tall, composed nobleman and two other courtly figures look on from the background. It's a warmly inviting portrait of palace life that promises a story of quiet joy, gentle humor, and the unexpected pleasures of serving at the imperial court.
