I think the summary provided did not fully capture what the anime was about. It is true that a big portion of it relates to Kajika finding a potential husband based on her father's game but it feels like it is mostly about the political issues in the country of Raginei. Because of this, the story was much more different than what I anticipated based on the summary. Despite that "miscommunication" I found the story to be quite captivating. Almost every episode ended with a cliff-hanger which could be good or bad. I enjoyed watching the story unfold and I found it to be original in some ways. The anime is not only a love story but it revolves around politics and some plot twists. At times it was a bit hard to follow the logic of the story (for me at least)  but I still enjoyed it.

The animation is somewhat different from the newer animes but I found it to be very well done. I enjoyed the characters features as they mostly centered around their "eyes". The sound was amazing!I enjoyed the opening end ending themes very much!

The characters were interesting. Kajika has a powerful personality and is well liked by everyone. She has the ability to make anyone fall in love with her. Her suitors were amazing but I did not particularly care for the man that ended up "winning" her affections. I will not say more as to not spoil it but that part did not satisfy me. You could not come to hate any of the characters during this anime (although I did manage to do so with one).
