In a certain empire, the young emperor's workroom has a ceiling space that is full of secret agents from many of the empire's member countries. They all wear masks, but they get along as friends while they peacefully keep surveillance on the emperor.

One of these secret agents is a young woman, who is less than a year from her 18th birthday. She receives word from her home country that she is to be transferred, and that she will become some noble's lover. However, when she arrives home, she finds the situation is a little different. The emperor himself has come to fetch her, and he intends to make her his empress. To her surprise, he is actually someone she knows, a man who was sometimes among the masked secret agents! Now she will enter her new 'post,' and see if she can make it as a future empress!

This is what tethysdust said this week:
The Junketsu no Maria Exhibition would be great for fans of the main story, who would like to see a little more of the characters. Tenjouura kara Douzo Yoroshiku kind of feels like it is based on a game, where the heroine has to make it to her 18th birthday to become an empress. It would be fun for people interested in stories about cross-class romance and people thrust into court intrigue, I think. Monochrome Teito Ninpouchou was a little silly for me, but it looks like the first two chapters are already scanlated. If you're interested, it's already there for you to check out!

My opinion:
Junketsu no Maria Exhibition - If you liked the prequel to it and are in the mood for a historical supernatural manga, then this short one volume manga may appeal to you.
Monochrome - Teito Ninpouchou - If you like Freezing and other action-type manga, then this is right up your alley.
Tenjouura kara Douzo Yoroshiku - On the other hand, if you're in the mood for romance in a historical setting with emperors and a soon-to-be empress, then you should check this out instead.
