Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou.

This manga has NTR. I repeat, it has NTR.
Someone please explain how this has 9+/10?

Uh... no? It has a romantic rival appearing during a point where a relationship is still heavily in flux, which is pretty standard romance story fare.

So I do love this story... but there is an elephant in the room, and that is the broader socio-political backdrop, which effectively claims that displacing or dismantling such a system as Inherited Noble Titles is a bad thing, or at least bad in the context of how it is occurring in this case, with shadowy puppeteers being the true masterminds of an egalitarian uprising, which is an accusation often falsely leveled at real-world liberation movements.

It frankly places far too much faith in the potential for positive outcomes in such a system of inherited wealth and political power, and leads to some pretty brain-dead takes.

I get that some of this is inevitable in a story about the lead getting closer to an initially antagonistic figure from that landed gentry, but there were a lot of ways to write a transition away from that kind of society without making that the scheme of the bad guys.

I say don't dig too deeply into it besides using this as a way to tell who's relatively bad and who's relatively good, because once u start to knitpick into the details, it'll be obvious that a novel or a manga adaptation about a romance story like this wouldnt overly explain the politics to the point they make perfect sense.

Plus, before that I would have pointed out how every brown skinned person we seen is depicted like human trash as more of a bad thing.

Ah... you're right, how did I miss that.
