Gin no hitomi no reijo to umi o koete. (Paperback Bunko)

The characters' struggles felt so real and layered, but I wonder how much of that was intentional to evoke a specific emotional response.

The descriptions of society and manners added so much flavor, making me curious if the author did extensive research or based it on personal knowledge.

It added complexity to his character, and I’m curious whether this was based on historical figures or a creative decision to deepen the romance.
