Here's the Wiki and you can read it here.
I fell in love with the fantasy and workings of the series' world as well as the inspiration from various historical fantasies (including 1001 Arabian Nights). I think that it has a surprising amount of depth for a shounen series and the humor is refreshing.
I'm also excited to see how the anime does as there are 12 episodes out already. (I got on the bandwagon at just the right time.)
Anyway, I really recommend it to anyone who hasn't read/watched and people who have can discuss it here!
