RoseMary's manga / #Middle Eastern(21)

From the author of Red River! 16th Century / Middle Eastern / Mediterranean / Ottoman Empire ⚜ Historical Persons / Historical References [From Friendship Scans] Beginning of 16th century, Alexandra was captured by slave traders in Ukraine during one of their many raids. When the traders arrived in Greece to sell the female slaves, a young handsome man named Mateus bought her and promised to give her true freedom. He hired countless teachers, scholars, and palace ladies to train her into the one perfect woman of her time. Mateus's kindness has caused Alexandra to deeply fall in love with him, and she secretly wishes to be his concubine. But cruel fate! Mateus has already promised her to his best friend, who is Suleiman the Great, Emperor of the Ottoman Empire! Mateus promised Alexandra of true freedom, but where is freedom when she is in another man's harem and can only look at the one she loves from afar? Not willing to endure this agony, Alexandra promises herself that one day, she will free both of them from their bird cages. But Mateus is the Grand Vizier, a power only second to the Emperor himself. So Alexandra must become the most influential concubine in order to have any hope—which also means bearing Suleiman's son. However, Suleiman already has a son by another concubine, and this woman is determined to keep her son as the only prince and only heir. Thus begins the story of a slave that becomes the story of one of the greatest empresses of all time, Alexandra, the woman who would one day be known as Roxolana, Empress of the Ottoman Empire.

Simple, obvious storyline. Overall, it was kinda nice to read, but everything happened so fast and smoothly that it seemed superficial, emotions-lacking.

That pointy chin makes the male lead look so bad... Related Series: 1 Nessa no Umi ni Manekarete 2 Sabaku ni Saku Hana no You ni 3 Sabaku ni Ukabu Mitsugetsu no Fune 4 Hanayome wa Nessa no Ou ni Dakarete

[[Not Complete]] - I really like this story's plot and characters. It's actually a long series...I hope it will be picked up! Anime - Personally, I really enjoyed it! Sequel: Hanasakeru Seishounen - Tokubetsu Hen (not scanlated)

I love the first story (Ch. 1-4, 8-8.5), that is the title story "Sahara no Kuro Washi". [From Renta!] On the outskirts of a faraway desert oasis, there once lived a charming young slave trader, known throughout the land as "Black Eagle". One day, one of Black Eagle's former slaves, Gran, captures him and has him taken to Alkil, a skilled animal trainer. Alkil's semen contains an aphrodisiac that makes any human obedient to him. Black Eagle was to train under Alkil until he became an obedient plaything for Gran. However, Black Eagle refuses to yield, and Alkil starts to view this tenacious slave trader as someone special... >> The dark-skinned long-haired uke was so damn sexy and enticing! And the long-haired seme was hot! Also, I love stories with this type of setting and plot! It was like a mix of different kinds of weaknesses of mine, so it was irresistible for me! (5 stars!) >> And I'm so happy because the author said there will be a sequel to this story! I'm so looking forward to it!

The art style is too messy...
