Light novel series 'Count and Fairy (伯爵と妖精)' to be animated
Here is what I made of the Japanese Wikipedia entry with as little spoilers as possible: The story is set in a fantasy Victorian England. Lydia, an expert of fairies, meets Edgar, a young man who claims to be the Blue Knight Count (青騎士伯爵), who wants to acquire the sacred sword Merou that is passed down from generation to generation in the Blue Knight family. Lydia is hired by Edgar to aid his mission, and is soon involved in a series of incidents related to fairies.
This seems to be a spade of shoujo fun. Sure, it does not deviate much from the shoujo formula in the sense that the hero who is calculating and cold to every one else grows protective of the heroine over time and pays a Heavy Price to save her life etc etc. But I suppose shoujo fun is shoujo fun after all. I will probably be checking this out just for the heck of it.
