DESCRIPTION
The Tearmoon Empire has fallen. As the flames of revolution scour the land, the empire’s ever-selfish princess, Mia, is publicly executed by way of the guillotine...only to wake up in the past as her twelve-year-old self! The empire’s back, the revolution is a distant memory, and sweets are once again on the table! As the bloodstained diary she brought back with her proves, however, Mia’s memories of the future are by no means just a bad dream. All the horrors and indignities she experienced in that terrible timeline are bound to happen all over again... That is, unless she can shape herself up, recruit some allies, and exploit her knowledge of what’s to come to solve all of the empire’s problems before they spiral horribly (and lethally) out of control! Is Mia up to the lofty task of changing the future and saving her empire? Not even slightly, but it’s her only choice if she hopes to spare herself from a second gruesome end at the blade of the guillotine!

tearmoon is an amazing dish, I highly recommend the manga, it gets a 9 that will proably turn into a 10 laterContinue on AniListTearmoon is like a delicious hare stew, every ingredient is appetizing in its own right but the synergy between them is what elevates the meal, the same applies to this manga, I have seen every individual element of what it does before and I've seen stories that look similar to it on the surface, however the polished of its ingredient and the way it combines them is what sets tearmoon apart from its peers, in the following review I'll analyze each ingredient individually so I can explain why every factor works so well:
Let's start by talking about a very underrated part of the series, the world-building, although easy to take it for granted, it really spices up the series and helps give the manga (and light novel) its own unique identity, from simple things like citizens from Tearmon using moon way more own its popular idioms or the fact that the book is pretty grounded with no magic or superhuman moves (the closest thing there is to magic in Tearmoon is a made-up vegetable cake, a tasty fictitious spice and a special pretty wood that is rainbow colored ), its setting resembles actual medieval Europe way more than the worlds of "swords and magic" commonly seen in light novels with medieval settings, having a more realistic setting not only differentiates the series but also fits this french revolution expired story way more, but still, even if Tearmoon is not a fantasy story its geography is still fictional and needs to be properly flashed out considering the book deals with it's politics quite often (even if it's for comedic effect), thankfully it also does that well, for example, there is a harmful structural stereotype in the kingdom against farmers, so they make sure to give a historic explanation for it and how it's harming the kingdom. yeah everything I said so far is pretty simple and not groundbreaking by any means but it still elevates the series even if just a bit, in conclusion, the world-building in Tearmoon is just good enough to serve as a backdrop for its political comedy and spicy up the series it gets a solid but not great 7/10
I am also happy to inform you that the presentation of this plate is also quite good, the art is just as adorable as the illustrations from the novel, the exaggerated facial expressions are always a treat, and the paneling is creative and easy to read, something that originally had me worried but I can thankfully say it wasn't an issue is that they were accurate to the novel and didn't sexualize the child characters in the bath scenes, it's weird to say this for a manga but the bath scenes always have a purpose, for example showing that mia doesn't discriminate against commoners and likes bathing with her maid, it always shows restraints making a scene that other artists would make crepy come out as just comfy instead, the art is great so it's only fair for it to get a solid score of 8/10
The recipe of this stew is also interesting, although the plot isn't the main focus of tearmoon, it is still good, the arcs are very diverse, cycling between; adventure, school life, and regional politics depending on the arc, which not only helps to keep the jokes fresh (since tearmoon is primarily a comedy book and the main objective of the plot is to serve as a good backdrop for the hilarious jokes) but changing genres from time to time makes the relatively simple plot more engaging since one arc might be a more laid back school life while the other can very well be a shipwrecked adventure, overall the plot of tearmoon is a solid 7/10
When you take a sip of this stew you might think it tastes a bit funny, and you would be right because (contrary to this joke) TEARMOON IS HILARIOUS, ahem, bad jokes aside tearmoon's jokes are genuinely technically competent, with unique setups and unexpected punch lines, not only that but the sacartic narator of the series really sets the comedy apart from other books, even if he can be a little unreliable in the extent of how much he dowplays some charcters in order to make a sassy joke he is still riotous, "but what type of comedy is tearmoon" you might be asking, well, if you asked most tearmoon fans to define its comedy I bet most of them would say that it is a comedy focused on extreme misunderstanding (like gamers, Handa-kun, or school rumble) and honestly they would be totally right, however I would like to expend a bit more on that, tearmoon isn't just jokes about misunderstandings but also jokes focused on humorizing the banal, from just boring politics to familiar tropes in media, tearmoon cames up with extreme misunderstanding for everything it touches, that ability to humorizing the banal is present in many great works (from the Japanese kaguya-sama to the American Gumbal) and since tearmoon is a master at that, and never fails to make me die from laughter, I have no qualms about giving tearmoon's comedy a 10/10
Err, let's talk about erm... the hares in this hare stew? (the metaphor really fell apart uh... well whatever) most characters start out pretty superficial, but they have incredible hilarious chemistry with each other so they are still likable from the start, and thankfully as the series goes on more and more characters get flashed out, except for Mia, Mia is great from the start and only gets better as the story goes on, she is the funniest character in the series so most jokes involve her in some way (which honestly isn't a bad thing) and she is a genuinely complex character that also gets a great character arc which gradually develops in a very natural way, she slowly improves as a person while still not completely getting rid of her flaws, she stays selfish, but her selfishness stop being harmful and just turns cute, describing it might come out weird but I guarantee you'll also be rooting for Mia and shouting "Sasuga Mia-sama" as you see the girl try her best, tl;dr she is a gremlin but she is OUR gremlin, Mia the protagonist gets a 10/10 but the characters in general get a 7/10
in conclusion, tearmoon is an amazing dish, I highly recommend both the manga and the novel, the novel gets an easy ten and the manga is on the same level, however since the manga has yet to conclude adapting even the first volume I'll have to give it just a nine since it has only 14 chapters so far, but don't be surprised when I change the score to a ten after some more chapters come out, as it is Teramoon gets a great 9/10 for me.

Mia Luna Tearmoon's guide to avoiding the French Revolution (otome isekai version)Continue on AniListThis review and my next one will be otome-isekai manga reviews (even though they aren't quite otome isekai, they have the vibe and are usually grouped with them). The reason for this is as a thanks to my beloved friend, Yeni, who kick-started my current interest in this genre. I don't think I'd be writing so many reviews on these types of manhwas if not for her. And two of her all time favorites are getting animes, so I will be reading them both beforehand. And thus begins my review of Tearmoon Empire.
Princess Mia Luna of the Tearmoon Empire is known as a selfish princess and she never wants for anything. However, when a revolution begins, Mia soon faces a public execution by way of the guillotine. After she dies, she awakens as her twelve year-old self. With a new fear of the revolution and her death instilled in her, Mia decides to do everything she can to stop the revolution from ever occurring.
I think my main issue with Tearmoon is that I feel like it moves too fast. Mia is able to win people over too easily. I'd have liked it if there was more of a challenge for her to overcome in winning people over and stopping the famine. I do feel like I felt similarly about other otome isekai series, like Roxana (and I LOVE Roxana). I think it's charming and silly, but I feel like the more serious parts move much too quickly. I do think the series improves as it goes on, with both the comedy and character interactions. I feel like as the story continued, everything felt more genuine, since some of the earlier parts felt forced with how everyone, everywhere loved Mia without her putting in much effort. The later friendships still feel effortless, but more along the lines of the types of friendships normal children make at school.
Mia is a very chaotic character with silly facial expressions, which means I automatically love her. I really appreciated how slow and realistic her growth was. When she goes back she doesn't automatically change. She's still the same selfish, self-absorbed, greedy person she was in the beginning. She's doing everything out of fear for her own safety instead of genuine concern for others. However, she does gain a lot more compassion, kindness, and self awareness, little by little. It's one of those things where it's hard to see her growth until you look back at the beginning and see how the character is different from the person they were before. I love watching her develop her relationships and get into all kinds of messes. It's funny to think about how Mia feels her physical age instead of her actual mental age, since she never really grew up from the bratty child she was at twelve. It's interesting how she has a lot of trauma from her past events, and how she has a lot of fears and dislikes of people based on her previous timeline.
The other characters are very cute. My personal favorite was Abel, the young prince who is Mia's love interest. He wants to be good enough for Mia, since he's regarded as useless by his own family. He's the sweetest person ever, and he deserves the world. (I wish I knew someone as sweet as Abel in real life.) His character growth is more prominent than Mia's, but they both spark a definite change in each other, as Mia gives Abel strength, while Abel helps Mia grow to care about other human beings.
Other prominent characters include Anne, Mia's maid who stood by her even during her darkest times, Tiona, who Mia isolated during her previous life resulting in her taking part in the revolution, and Sion who rejected Mia and took part in her execution. I think they were simple characters, who might get more development. They're very likeable, despite being not particularly deep.
The art is super cute. The colored pictures are stunning with a lot of pastels. All of the character designs are adorable. I also just love the cute and silly faces the characters constantly make. They've won me over.
I can easily see why this would be someone's favorite, since I had so much fun reading it. It was cute and funny with lots of French Revolution tie-ins. It was particularly funny since the translation I used had a lot of memes in between chapters. I got a lot of laughs, and I hope anyone looking into this out of curiosity about the upcoming anime is encouraged to check it out.
