FEUDAL JAPAN MANGA IS BACK ON THE BOARD

>In Edo period Japan (1603 to 1868), a strange new disease called the Redface Pox has begun to prey on the country's men. Within eighty years of the first outbreak, the male population has fallen to a quarter of the total female population. Women have taken on all the roles traditionally granted to men, even that of the Shogun. The men, precious providers of life, are carefully protected and the most beautiful of the men are sent to serve in the Shogun's Inner Chambers.

something something late today, i was lazy to start a new thread since last one died lol

>died with satisfaction on his face
Not everyone in this series can say the same

I missed the last thread so I'd like to say now that I smelled that saucy lesbian from childhood
Never trust a lesbian close to the highest powers

>>279623530
Just like that

>>279623603
>AIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHERE THE FUCK IS ANON

>>279623716
I don't think this manga can handle another bishi

>>279623828
Come again

>>279623873
I've seen a couple 'mum's from time to time, and I aware this is just being used in some old-timey fashion, but this is the first time I've seen a manga character use the word 'mam'

>>279623922
>cocksure
I like that one

>>279623630
"In the game of thrones...somethingsomething"

>>279623548
Damn it girl. Can't you at least be a little sad?

>>279624107
This manga finds new and inventive ways to be fucked with every character

>>279624204
>siblingkids
I wonder how that feels

>>279623828
zoo wee mama

>>279624351
Damn, Gyokuei was cucking some dude that whole time?

>>279623716
Hot

>>279623656
BITCH

>>279624461
That look would make me diamonds
Sucks for him though

ovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>279624541
Thanks thou saucy fellow

>>279624224
Now i can't differentiate him from any of the hot men in the story. Next he gest a japanese name i can't differentiate from any male in the story.
Animu names being garish and ridiculous made me think i could handle jap names but real sounding names slip out of my mind in a second.

>>279623766
>Drinking competition with women are a normal thing by now

>>279623828
Well, we had brother/sister just last chapter so this is par for the course.

>>279623873
>>279623848
Ok, that's fucked up.

>>279624204
Somehow worse than the gay monks.

>>279623848
Guess we needed a more realistically messed up incest situation right after the happily ever after we got in the former chapter.

Someone should call maomao

>>279624351
What's with the weird hump on their kiminos? This isn't the first time I see it.

>>279624372
>"Dude, you make her moist!"
Wow

>>279623716
Welcome back arikoto 3

>>279624224
I'm convinced the top knot was invented by balding old men and forced upon younger men who made them feel insecure with their head full of hair. Same with wigs, hats, shaved heads and what not in other cultures. The history of men's hair is a history of malding men.

>>279624351
I dont remember who said in these threads the manga lacked of lesbians

>>279626056
Half that, half compensating for their own baldness at their age.

>>279624351
Weird that the manga's kinda coy about their and so far other women's relationships when the real world royalty's shudo lovers are a matter of historical record.

>>279625661
The weird hump is the obi, which is huge in women's kimonos. Then they're wearing an extra coat on top of it, making it look like a hump

>>279626056
Nearly all Asian men go severely bald at some point, so it's not a complete cope.

>>279624510
heh

>>279624541
Thank you for posting.

>>279625673
That's not Arikoto 3 he'll show up way later

>>279623828
a true motherfucker

>>279631407
By Arikoto 3 you mean Takiyama right?
I'm glad an Arikoto-clone got a good ending

>>279624372
Some very mixed feelings in the lower right panel.

You guys reckon mama's touching her grand/son right now?

>>279624510
The male equivalent of "you are nothing but boobs".

>>279623756
Yeah... what bad luck...

>>279623828
>The most explicit scene so far is a son passionately pounding his mother
blessed manga

>>279624107
>what sort of woman would compel her grown son to keep his hair unshorn
he's basically calling her a shotacon isn't he

>>279624484
what a tragedy

>>279624510
>Waaahhh boohoooo I'm too handsome! Everyone only cares about my cock!
What a faggot. I hate both men and women blessed with good looks who complain that that's what people focus on. There are millions less fortunate who'd kill for that privilege. Nothing is stopping you from being whatever person you want to be while still enjoying the benefits of good looks, hell you'll have more opportunities than the average person. What an insufferable bunch.

>>279632809
>"What's that!? You refuse the honor of being used as a sex toy!?"
>"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD THIS VERY INSTANT!!!"
You ever heard the saying "a man dying of thirst watching another man drown"?

>>279633088
The average man would be killed for looking the wrong way or some other minor offense. He wouldn't be given the chance to refuse the opportunity to rail his liege lady along with its many privileges.

>>279633319
And he would be killed for refusing to do it. Completely nullifying any claim of agency he might have.
Hell, the whole reason why he even begged for work is because the alternative is going back to his mother who raped him. He had no choice and he was fine with being a menial since that gave him satisfaction at least.

>>279626056
Egyptians wore wigs for better hygiene and to avoid the lice, but yeah.

>>279623352 (OP)
what's this fucker doing in the cover?

>>279632809
Stop projecting anon this isn't a theater

>>279624204
Lost his brother and his son on the same day....

>>279624461
welp

Soonish

>>279624368
Like father, like daughter

Good Stuff, as alwawys

>>279634878
Enjoying life

>>279642706
About that

>>279623352 (OP)
Bump

In 10

>>279645136
Ienobu is probably meant to be plain but I think she's quite attractive in a MILF way

>>279645423
what's up with his hojo crest?

What if Ooku was called Ook and they were all monkeys

>>279645136
>is come
This has always been one of my favourite pieces of archaic English

>>279645256
Her time as a shogun is yet to be judged, but as a person, at least, she's a good woman

>>279645303
What a charmer

>>279645340
This shogunate seems stable and decent enough
After that brief issue with the seven year old girl (this kid, maybe), they move on to another sensible woman
Maybe Japan isn't doomed

>>279645574
I like this woman and her smiles

>>279645641
This is chivalry

>>279645658
There are two random kids out there who are now the older siblings and cousins of the shogun's heir

>>279645680
She was far from perfect, or even good, but I pitied her
RIP

>>279645724
Like ending up in a bizarre parallel universe

>>279645745
Worth noting that the senior chamberlain in volume 1, after Ienobu died, was not named Ejima

>>279645892
A LADDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

>>279645940
>hale
And how'd that end out

>>279645964
:D

>>279646000
Cutie

>>279646023
>Chiyo
They can't help but throw a curse upon the girl

>>279646152
She did her best
RIP

>>279646217
We haven't seen any women commit seppuku yet, right?
Interesting that they haven't seemed to pick that little habit up

>>279646256
Manabe might be the best looking woman so far

>>279646298
>we haven't even hit peak bullshit yet
Oh boy

ovvaaaaaaaaaaa

>>279646152
>>279646174
:(

>>279646466
Thanks thou saucy fellow

>>279645770
>ah, you must be my wife's bull. thank you for your service

>>279646023
this matron is yet another famous personage of course

>>279646073
>>279646096
grim as always

>>279646278
>>279646298
well, at least he finally got to lay Manabe

>>279647123
Doesn't sound like it'll end well though

>>279647217
no regrets

>>279647217
Worth it.

>>279645187
>only 5 years older than me
No...

>>279645520
Currently retainers of the Tokugawas, one of the clans that fought together with them in the battle of Sekigahara.

>>279646413
We have, but she committed suicide the female way by slitting her throat.

>>279645136
How old is she supposed to be here?

>>279645187
Well, I got my answer fast.

>>279645217
The shogun position is cursed when it comes to birth

>>279645493
Going up in the world.

>>279645680
Tsunayoshi is finally free.

>>279646298
Sounds like Sakyo's gonna learn why you don't stick your dick in crazy.

>>279645745
It must be one hell of a gut punch to not be loved even when men are a rare thing.

>>279645804
Don't know if it's a self-confidence issue, or he really doesn't want to get between them.

>>279646152
Damn, that was fast.

>>279646298
Oh come on. It can't be that bad.

>>279646466
Thx mate.

>>279623922
Who let O-Assistant draw faces again?
>>279645808
Kek, hardest I've laughed in weeks.

>>279649613
He's not attracted to Ienobu, he's got no reason to be jealous or triumphant. After realizing Ienobu and Kunihiro are good people who like each other and are still kind despite being stuck in a situation they tried to avoid, he feels bad about his part in it even though he's not at fault.

>>279646044
>Fever
Oh boy

>>279646000
>your child has been born
>the kind lady who took you is happy
>the woman you love is thanking you with tears in her eyes
Only one thing's off about this picture perfect moment, I just can't put my finger on it...

>>279646298
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejima-Ikushima_affair
>After inviting a Kabuki actor and others to a tea house, Lady Ejima missed her curfew into the Ōoku and became the focus of a power struggle between the mother of the ruling shogun and the wife of the late shogun.
>Ejima became the focus of a power struggle between Gekkō-in and her rival Ten'ei-in, the official wife of the late Ienobu. They in turn were part of a larger power struggle between two factions in the Tokugawa elite: one led by Arai Hakuseki and Manabe Akifusa, the two closest advisors to both Ienobu and Ietsugu, and the other was headed by fudai daimyōs and the rōjū who had been in office since the time of the fifth shōgun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.
>Within the Ōoku, Ten'ei-in emerged victorious as the most dominant woman in the harem.

So it will be Akifusa (concubine, father of shogun) vs Kunihiro (official husband) and then Arai/Manabe vs other daimyos. Based on wiki, it will be Kunihiro as eventual winner

>>279645602

Outlook not good.

Enjoyed these chapters all the more because it started as a flashback and we know things won't stay rosy for long. Looks like this is going to be a fun arc.

BUMP!

>>279645520
tons of people were triforcin in that era

>>279646152
The Mandate of Heaven was with Tsunayoshi after all!

im flying later this day

>>279649556
I actually like that the author did not just do a Western-liberal gender-mirrored version of real Edo Japan and instead kept the biologically-determined part of gender-roles intact. Security/police/military service is still mostly provided by men. Women still flock to top men. Etc...

>>279655888
TRIPs for an early dump and a safe trip!

ovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>279656361
Who could hate this cinnemon roll?

>Has the looks of an ugly bastard
>But the hard of a saint
Best trope.

>>279656788
The power of reverse traps is recognized even at that age!

>>279656930
So the past is already forgotten by the members of the inner chamber at this point.

>>279656971
Thx mate.

>>279656454
>>279656465
was ir rape?

>>279655888
Safe travels, enjoy your trip

How quickly the women grow comfortable

>>279656523
Getting a strange feeling about this

>>279656549
We'll see about that

>>279656593
Oh shit
I think this is the senior chamberlain from volume 1

>>279656612
Nothing for it but seppuku

Thanks thou saucy fellow
Very foreboding final page

>>279649080
oh. I thought it was the other way around for some reason.

>>279645808
shut the fuck up hideyoshi

my man went from long hair to balding to bald

>>279656549
I like this gorilla

kabuki makes a lot more sense when you realize it's like an idol concert

>>279657983
https://www.kokugakuin.ac.jp/en/article/10572
>The voices you hear during each kabuki act are shouts usually given by specialists known as “omuko (ōmukō),” because yelling toward the stage is a difficult art, requiring them to choose the best “maai” or intervals for timely shouts, while knowing each actor’s performances and their breathing patterns in full detail.

I'm buying Ejima Stock. Right now seems like a great time to invest. very good fundamentals. There is no way Fujnami could compete, this is a Gorrila market.
