The web special video “Jinji Edition” of the TV anime “Yakiya no Hitorigoto” has been released. The 21st episode, “Ranking Operation,” will be broadcast on March 2nd, and the story will finally reach its climax.
Jinshi is a eunuch who is so beautiful that if she were a woman, she would be called a country lover. After the Oshiroi Incident, he realized Maomako’s abilities and was chosen to play Princess Gyokuyo’s poison probe. From then on, he continued approaching Maomako about mysteries and incidents in the inner palace.
He always smiles as he interacts with the queen and the government officials, making both men and women look happy. Still, Jinshi’s purpose as the custodian of the inner palace is a test of loyalty to the emperor. He also has a brave side that takes advantage of his beautiful appearance.
However, Jinji’s flirtatious glances don’t work on her, and instead, she looks at Maomao as if she were looking at a slug, becomes very interested in him, and even has a childish side that seems to play tricks on her.
Jinji’s actual position and past gradually become apparent as the story progresses. Expectations are high regarding what kind of story awaits Jinji, who is determined to pursue his path.
This work is a trendy inner palace mystery-solving entertainment set in the medieval East, in which a girl who plays the role of “poison detector” solves various complex cases in the imperial court one after another.
The original work is a novel that began serialization in October 2011 on the novel posting site “Let’s Become a Novelist” and was later published in “Hero Bunko.” The manga is currently being serialized in the monthly “Big Gangan” and the monthly “Sunday GX” comics, which have also been released, with the series selling over 31 million copies.
