Saiunkoku Monogatari Links

Here is a list of links I have compiled for Saiunkoku Monogatari. Saiunkoku is one of the many (or few?) series that came originally from a novel instead of from a manga. However, there is a manga, but it is still behind the anime in terms of storyline. If you have more links to add or you are the owner of one of the sites I linked to but don’t want to be mentioned, feel free to leave a comment.

SPOILERS AHOY! (IN THE LINKS!)
Ye have been warned, mateys.

The Anime


The anime can be found at CrunchyRoll , but you have to be a member ot watch the videos. The newer episodes are subbed by Crystalis and DreaM so you can get some direct downloads here. Otherwise, try youtube, veoh, or here for the first season in rmvb files.
The anime goes up to volume 12 in the novels.

The Novels

The original version. Gotta love the originals.
In Chinese: here
Summaries/Translated Snippets: here
(heh, I didn’t do most of the compiling here, but yeah…)
Here’s also a bunch of translations from the Saiunkoku LJ community. Enjoy.

The Manga

So far, the manga is not even through the first season of the anime, but it still is important because it shows some other scenes from the novels that the anime did not include.
The first two Volumes of the Manga: here
Volume 3 snippets: here

Well, that’s all there is for now. Enjoy!
