Your Throne, Vol. 1 by Sam is a historical fantasy manga where court politics meets Freaky Friday.
This volume contains the first twelve (12) episodes of the Your Throne Webtoon comic that follows two polar opposite women attempting to survive in a heavily patriarchal culture that pits them against each other every step of the way. And did I mention that there’s a wish on an annual special day of prayer and oops these two women swap bodies?
The beginning was slightly confusing for me, but once I got about midway into this volume I couldn’t stop reading. By the end of the twelfth episode, there were several zigs and zags that really had me intrigued. Upon finishing, I immediately went to my Webtoon app to subscribe. It was a really fun read!
There are several interstitial flashbacks that shine a new light on our two main characters. I’m excited to read more in this story to watch the characters keep growing. The art style really fits the theme and content, and I really love the artist’s color palatte.
I’d highly recommend you pick this up if you like fast-paced political fantasy with tons of surprises. Especially if you like chess metaphors.
CW: violence, death, poison, kidnapping
