The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom

The Marronnier Kingdom lies landlocked by seven other nations. General Baribara sends her seven children, from the sleepless Nemukunai to the eternally hungry Harapeko, out to these kingdoms in the interests of diplomacy. Yet Baribara herself is not from Marronnier, and questions swirl internally and externally about her power and those of her children; it seems there may be more going on in the other kingdoms linked to her family than is first apparent. **Award:** Won 2018's This Manga Is Amazing!'s Female category. (The second such win in a row for author Iwamoto Nao.)
