"The Twelve Kingdoms", by Fuyumi Ono. We'll count all the volumes as one. Maybe I read them at just the right time in just the right place, but if you are in the right mood it tells you a story about leadership, a kernel of intersectionality, and most importantly why it's so hard for leadership figures to change the way they are headed even if they can clearly see that they are heading straight into an iceberg. There's also an animated TV-series by NHK that I can recommend.
