The Remarried Empress, Vol. 1

Today's manga post is on The Remarried Empress, Vol. 1 by Alphatart , and Sumpul  (Visual Art) , and Herelee  (Adapted by). It is 256 pages long and is published by Ize Press. The cover has Empress Navier on it. The intended reader is someone who likes slow romance, court drama, and beautiful art. There is some very mild foul language, no sex, and very mild violence in this volume. The story is told from third perspective of the different characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- "I accept this divorce... and request an approval of my remarriage."
Empress Navier and Emperor Sovieshu: a match made in heaven, they were the two pillars of the land whom everyone believed would stand by each other through thick and thin.. until a chance encounter with a beautiful girl in the forest leaves the emperor smitten! Though hurt by the betrayal, Navier's not one to waste  time wallowing in despair. And when Sovieshu requests a divorce, she has but one condition in return- permission to remarry the man of her choosing! 

Review- This is an interesting first volume in a very political manga. I am glad with how this manga started, with the divorce and the ending of her first marriage. Empress Navier believed that she and the Emperor Sovieshu have a good relationship. But when the Emperor finds a runaway slave in one of his hunting traps, he becomes smitten with her to the point of scandal. Navier has been prepared for the Emperor to take mistresses but she was not ready for Rasta and her extreme needs. She is totally selfish and has no idea about how the court works but the Emperor does not care. The real male lead is good, he knows that he wants Navier and is willing to put himself out there to get her. I am looking forward to more drama soon. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
