The King's Beast: Arcana of Occultation by Rei Fujima

The story takes place in a world where a race of half-human, half-beast "subhumans" are ruled by humans. Aiatsuki, a subhuman girl, pretends to be a man and becomes a follower of the fourth crown prince, Tenyo.

Although subhumans are treated like slaves and discriminated against by humans, Tenyo is the only one who does not discriminate against Aizuki and treats her without discrimination. Aizuki, who has been serving the imperial court for a certain purpose, comes to know a surprising side of Tenyo and comes to trust him.

The relationship between human and half-beast seems to symbolize what is called "love between different statuses" in the human world, and the story unfolds with great depth. The characters are all very attractive, drawn with a delicate and overwhelming artistic ability, and the emotional portrayal that can be read from their facial expressions is particularly impressive.

Written by Manatsumi and Kaitoko.

Ruse, a boy who is a new knight of a certain kingdom, uses a special magic called "puppet art" to disguise his gender, age, and identity. He usually uses this ability to follow his friend who is often mistaken for a girl. But in reality, he is a girl, and because of this, the prince begins to take notice of him.

The story is not at all what one would expect from a standard "girls in men's clothing" story, but rather, a thrilling and exciting development awaits the viewer. The romance element is relatively light, but the scene in which she bullies her bullying superiors back using the "puppet technique" is exhilarating.
Even the female protagonist is amusing in the way she plays her tricks on the male characters. The light atmosphere and fast-paced dialogue will definitely keep you reading.

The Caretaker of the Later Palace Queen by Shiori Hiromoto, Akira Shikimi, Izumi

Yuran, the daughter of a major merchant family, is ordered by the emperor to marry and serve in the imperial palace. When she arrives at the palace, she finds a beautiful woman there. To her surprise, he is a man dressed as a woman who is to become her husband. Yuran is entrusted with the management of the health and beauty of the ladies in the inner palace, the emperor is suspected of having an illegitimate child, and other tumultuous developments keep the viewer on the edge of his seat.

This work is what is called a "back palace" story. However, the story is less sordid than previous works. Yuran's refreshing personality is very likable, and the beautiful illustrations keep the reader turning the pages.

The depiction of business and the use of brains to solve incidents in the palace are also highlights of the story. Although it is a royal work, the quality and the feeling after reading it will be remarkable.

The way she uses her baby power to bring the world to a roundabout conclusion is sure to make your heart pound. If you are tired of the usual reincarnation stories, you may want to pick this up because it is a reincarnation fantasy with the youngest child as the main character. Perhaps because it was born in Korea, it has the feel of a Korean drama.
