kind of random to throw in "democracy good" at the end

started off interesting due to the interesting setting but ended up kind of shitty and disappointing.

The japanese title is: 滅国の宦官
滅国 means "destruction of country/empire"
宦官 means "eunuch"
の means a possessive "'s" or "of"
So the title should really be something more like: "The Eunuch of the Empire's Destruction"

The twist is there from the beginning, and probably would've paid off more if they didn't get axed so soon, and they could've explored all the nuance and expanded world building, where the main "good guy" protagonist is actually the "baddie" who "destroyed" the country, rather than the initial villain of a eunuch, who would then appear to be a small fry stepping stone in hindsight.

Not surprised at all it got axed, an harem with an MC that doesn't even have a dick.
I have seen many competitors in the japanese games of "let's surround the story with sex but keep it away from the MC", but this was competing for the gold.

All in all, a good story, great art, and love the good ending. JUST A SHAME WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE MORE OF HIS SISTER AND THEIR REUNION. NOR DO WE GET TO SEE MORE OF SEXY ELIZA... Also Who would've seen that plot twist at the end. Where Lady Demila would have been chosen to be the next favored consort.

Despite the fact the manga was likely axed and rushed, at least we got a good conclusion, and it wasn't just completely put on an indefinate hiatus. Good read overall.

While I also thought the whole democracy thing was bizarre and out of place, considering not that much time had passed, and so much progress was made. No word on what happened to Lady Demila or Jafar's sister. I still enjoyed the story and ending.
