In a Distant Time: Camellia

Dedicated to the first otome manga I encountered in my life, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de: Hachiyou Shou A fish in a cup, leaping in silence. A slender onmyoji, whose mastery stirs the winds and clouds. Miyazato Akane heard that long before Abe no Yasuaki, Abe no Seimei had taken a female disciple. Back then, she had wielded the power to summon wind and rain for Heian-kyo, ruling the city with an iron hand. Abe no Seimei said that his senior apprentice was the person he wanted to pursue for the rest of his life. He sought not only her exceptional onmyoji arts, but also the feelings he had for her. In Fuji-hime's eyes, she was a woman who was both rival and friend. Her ways were hard to fathom, and she held the utterly outrageous belief that humans and demons could coexist. To Tachibana no Tomomasa, she was an interesting woman. On closer thought, her outrageous ideas were not entirely unreasonable, and he would never deny her that. To Akram, she was a freak. Her thoughts were unlike those of ordinary people, and yet she could never truly fit in with the demon clan. Still, she was undeniably clever and capable. In his eyes, she was the perfect candidate to be his empress. A few notes: 1. The author, Yan Jiu, is moving from ninth grade to high school and under considerable academic pressure, so updates will come during holidays. 2. It has been three years since I watched the anime, so I may not remember every detail clearly. However, I respect the original work and will not bash its heroine, Miyazato Akane. 3. The heroine is an original character. The male lead has not been decided, but there will be no harem ending: it will either be one-on-one or have separate endings. Also, the heroine will not have a romantic storyline with every Hachiyo. Thank you for reading!
