Um...it's good. But the main character was portrayed as too perfect and too intelligent while everyone else was portrayed as below average. She changed the kingdom's old traditions and prejudices in less than a year, she solved age-old problems related to gin addiction, misogyny and foreign relationships. I would have loved it if it was just a sweet lighthearted story about someone who enjoys tea, and the various slice-of-life moments she experiences while introducing it to others, but it became more annoying after some time because the Duchess was 'overpowered', the 'problems' only seemed to come up so she could shine more instead of to advance the plot or develop the characters, and I'll never forgive them for turning the loving dork of a prince into the antagonist (that was so random).

I LOVE TEAS AND TEA MAKING AND TEA CUPS AND PRETTY KETTLES.

Also the art is good and I adore Chloe and Alphonse's relationship.
