Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

I don't know how far the manga has gotten in the story, but uh, Yu's not a twink. Oh, looking it up it's almost through to the end of the second book, so you'll see what I mean.
Don't get your hopes too high. Think more French Revolution (the setting's conceit is that it's a fantasy French Revolution otome game, after all) than Russian Revolution. It still has a lot of good moments, though. I'd say it's a bit better than bog standard lib, but still kind of lib. It's at least the kind of lib that recognizes monarchism and aristocracy is monstrously evil instead of thinking it's quaint and natural, and thinks people should have healthcare and food and rights.
Rae Taylor is still the literal worst though. Claire's good though, eventually. Rae's obsession with her is at least rooted in an understanding of who Claire actually is as a person beneath all the aristocratic grooming and ignorance.
