  What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:05
  talk. I'm your host, Robert.
• 0:07
  And today, I'm gonna be talking about a nice wholesome, little
• 0:11
  series called the night blooms behind castle walls.
• 0:18
  Now, this first volume brought to you by published by Seven
• 0:25
  Seas, and the story and art is down by masanori your dukkha.
• 0:32
  Now. This Source this series is
• 0:36
  pretty straightforward and that is fine because sometimes it is,
• 0:42
  okay? For a series to just be a chill
• 0:48
  wholesome, Slice of Life series. And that's what this is.
• 0:52
  It is a fantasy slice-of-life series that follows this young
• 0:56
  girl, Rosa who dreams of becoming a knight but On the
• 1:03
  road tonight. Head first, you know, all great
• 1:08
  Legends have to start somewhere and so she has to start as a
• 1:12
  squire at this Castle, kind of doing, you know, loss of mundane
• 1:17
  and tedious tasks. Like, you know, caring for the
• 1:19
  horses and help him prep Mills and different things around the
• 1:26
  castle and stuff, but all these small things are important. 10th
• 1:34
  on the journey to becoming a knight.
• 1:36
  And that is the long and short of what the series is.
• 1:39
  As speaking of short, from what I see this series in Japan, it's
• 1:46
  already done. It was only, it's only going to
• 1:49
  be three volumes total which has 35 chapters.
• 1:54
  So 35 chapters across three volumes.
• 1:58
  So, which which kind of makes me very curious to see like how the
• 2:03
  Story and stuff. Progresses did it fully get.
• 2:05
  Did the author get to fully do the story that they wanted to do
• 2:09
  or was it cut? Sure.
• 2:10
  I'm just kind of curious to see that play out eventually but for
• 2:14
  what is here, The RS staff is very nice, very clean, and just
• 2:23
  has a lot of charm and personality in.
• 2:24
  It one thing that I appreciate with this series and other
• 2:30
  series that have done, this is one is when I Arthur can kind of
• 2:34
  like Provide more flavor and world-building to their story
• 2:42
  without it being done in a cumbersome way.
• 2:47
  So the Arthur throughout this will have like little spots,
• 2:50
  he's like like the corner of the page or just dumb, very, very
• 2:54
  Tastefully, where they are providing more details on maybe
• 2:59
  some of the weapons, or different stuff that Rosa is
• 3:02
  doing or like history of the world or the castle.
• 3:06
  And stuff like that. So you have stuff like this
• 3:09
  where like could you see the okay you looking at this, you
• 3:11
  see about the big panels and stuff but like down here in the
• 3:14
  corner, small little info box. And so I like saying that
• 3:21
  because like I say just kind of helps of flesh out stuff, it's
• 3:25
  nice little illustration of the kitchen and stuff that's going
• 3:30
  on in there. Rosa, I love this kind of a
• 3:38
  title page of Rosa and the princess and stuff there.
• 3:44
  But yeah, it's just it's just really cool.
• 3:47
  And I love how on this pant on this chapter here, whatever as
• 3:53
  the page is go on, you kind of get to see like a history of the
• 3:57
  world and how things progressed as the castle was built.
• 4:03
  And you see like at the bottom they continue to illustrate and
• 4:07
  kind of see like the town and stuff start to slowly, grow more
• 4:12
  and more. And so I love little details
• 4:15
  like that and so yeah just which which now that I think about it,
• 4:21
  it's very fitting for the story that The little details are war
• 4:27
  is what are things that matter? Just like our rows are doing all
• 4:32
  these little like little tasks and little things around the
• 4:34
  council, those matter in the bigger picture of her journey to
• 4:39
  become a knight. The Arthur, doing these small
• 4:42
  little things in the corners of the panels and stuff helps flesh
• 4:46
  out the bigger story. answer another kind of like little
• 4:51
  funny detail that kind of costly happens throughout the series is
• 4:55
  that A lot of the characters in the story don't know or realize
• 5:03
  their Rosa is a girl, just a mix between, you know how she is
• 5:08
  dressed. And of course, traditionally,
• 5:10
  you know, most people have become a knight, there are no
• 5:13
  young boys and males and stuff. And so, there's a lot of
• 5:16
  situations to where, like, you know, like the nights are just
• 5:18
  if people, like, boy, come here, bring bring bring me some more
• 5:22
  drink or whatever as so there's even like a chapter where Where
• 5:27
  they had went on a, on a trip or something, whatever and
• 5:31
  everybody had to sleep in the room.
• 5:33
  And so Rosa, stay behind and to everybody was gone so she can
• 5:38
  get dressed and stuff. And so and so one of the nice is
• 5:42
  like, Rosa, what is taking you so long?
• 5:43
  Like why are you hunched down behind the bed or whatever and
• 5:47
  say, it's just little stuff like that.
• 5:49
  It's just like kind of funny saying that stuff kind of play
• 5:55
  out or whatever. But But honestly, I don't need
• 5:58
  to drag this on too much longer. I just wanted to just highlight
• 6:02
  like since you're just a sweet little wholesome story of a
• 6:06
  young girl, trying to become a knight, and I kind of look
• 6:11
  forward to seeing how roses Journey progresses and will she
• 6:19
  succeed in her dream of becoming at night?
• 6:22
  Because now I'm thinking to, I want to because, like I said, we
• 6:24
  could only be in three volumes. 35 chapters.
• 6:28
  I wonder are there going to be time jumps and stuff along the
• 6:30
  way to kind of like Excel this story because I don't know if
• 6:35
  the story is going to end with Rosa becoming a knight.
• 6:37
  I don't know. But yeah but all in all, if
• 6:42
  you're looking for a nice sweet, little wholesome slice-of-life
• 6:46
  series then the night blooms behind castle walls might be one
• 6:50
  to keep on your radar and I also would also win mine of maybe
• 6:56
  with the bin. A short, if maybe someday, I
• 6:59
  hope we might get to maybe see this as a anime as well, because
• 7:02
  I haven't really read too many slice-of-life manga, but I have,
• 7:07
  and I do enjoy watching slice-of-life anime.
• 7:11
  So this might be one too, you know, maybe wait a little bit if
• 7:15
  you're not interested in picking up now, and maybe hopefully it
• 7:18
  might get an anime adaptation. So, but that'll do it for me
• 7:22
  today. Thank you so much for watching
• 7:24
