Where it came from
Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai, which translates to 'The Crow Chooses Its Master,' is the second novel in Chisato Abe's celebrated Yatagarasu fantasy series. Originally serialized before appearing in print, the series is set in a world inhabited by the Yatagarasu, a mythical race of three-legged crows that can transform into human form. The narrative focuses on the intricate political machinations of the Yamauchi court, blending traditional Japanese mythology with high-stakes court intrigue.
The aesthetic and world-building of the series are heavily influenced by the Heian period of Japanese history, a stylistic choice that helps ground the supernatural elements of the Yamauchi society. Abe Chisato began this project while she was still a university student, quickly garnering critical acclaim for her sophisticated plotting and character development. The work has been well received for its ability to navigate complex themes of power and identity within a unique, highly detailed fantasy framework, leading to several adaptations, including manga and anime iterations.
