Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, Volume 1 by Fumi Yoshinaga

4.0

This is a great start to a very well thought out intriguing historical fiction manga. Yoshinaga created this whole world, complete with a made up disease, and does so masterfully. I didn't know what to expect going into this, but I was pleasantly surprised. The writing is also very beautiful and fits the tone of the series. I'm looking forward to reading more, because I'm so fascinated by this world and time period!
And yes, it did take me that long to finish reading it. I didn't dislike it, it just had a lot of information at the start and I needed a break. I do recommend it if you're a fan of Historical Fiction, and the time of the shogunate, with a twist!
