Features: Orimura Midori's representative work, narrating the story of a modern high school girl, Nana, who opens a mysterious ancient book and travels through time to the powerful planet of Anadeluru. She meets a handsome prince of Anadeluru and learns that she is the reincarnation of the Silver Star Princess. To maintain the stability and peace of the planet, she must marry the Golden Desert King to save the fate of the entire planet. This book is a mature work of Orimura's style, adopting the classic plot of "time travel" in shojo manga, describing the story of a girl, Nana, meeting a prince from a different world. Not only is the story background Orimura's specialty in courtly themes, but the magnificent costumes, handsome nobles, luxurious economy, and complex politics all leave a deep impression. Moreover, the entire work is light-hearted and joyful, with beautiful illustrations and colored letter paper, which are highlights of the book. In today's era of cool and edgy shojo manga, experiencing this light-hearted piece is also a great choice. Unlike the current trend of shojo manga becoming more "cool and edgy" or "eroticized," Orimura has always insisted on depicting "pure dreams." Her manga works are usually standalone books, and her serialized works are not excessively long. The simple and clear stories are as sweet as romance novels. Although Orimura has not created any "serialized for over 10 years with over 10 million copies sold" super famous works, this simple romance has given countless girls beautiful dreams. After all these years, Orimura's current works have not aged but have become more refined, with subtle and dreamlike imagery, paired with delicate and warm dialogues or narratives, bringing a strong sense of shojo sentiment.
