In a semi-matriachal world (I say semi-matriarchal because even though women generally have more control over men, the person on the country's throne is still a man), a world of a video game, Leon uses feir knowledge from having played this video game in the real world to gain some autonomy and independence over feir own life. Fe was at risk of being married off to a middle-aged noble woman, but was able to prevent that. When fe goes to the academy, like all young men fe must host tea ceremonies for women to try to entice them to marry fem. And fe does do this, but largely because fe's awed by the tea skills of feir Master and wants to be able to do justice to tea in a similar fashion. < This is a pretty adorable aspect of the manga. Ideally, fe wants to be able to live independently and not have to kowtow to the demeaning traditional roles.

Leon befriends Olivia, a commoner in the noble's academy, as well as Angelica, the prince's jilted fiance. Fe is frenemies with feir sister and straight up enemies with Marie and feir lover-cronies. One of my favorite relationships is between Leon and Luxon, a robot/airship who's an ally of feirs but is very willing to mock fem. Currently, it seems like Marie will be an ongoing antagonist. And Leon will continue to rise in rank and influence. Nothing outstanding, but an enjoyable read.
