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
last
>>279587418
>>279623352 (OP)>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
>>279623716I don't think this manga can handle another bishi
>>279623873I'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'
>>279623630"In the game of thrones...somethingsomething"
>>279623548Damn it girl. Can't you at least be a little sad?
>>279624107This manga finds new and inventive ways to be fucked with every character
>>279624351Damn, Gyokuei was cucking some dude that whole time?
>>279624461That look would make me diamonds
Sucks for him though
>>279624224Now 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.
>>279623828Well, we had brother/sister just last chapter so this is par for the course.
>>279624204Somehow worse than the gay monks.
>>279623848Guess 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
>>279624351What's with the weird hump on their kiminos? This isn't the first time I see it.
>>279624224I'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.
>>279624351I dont remember who said in these threads the manga lacked of lesbians
>>279626056Half that, half compensating for their own baldness at their age.
>>279624351Weird 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.
>>279625661The 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
>>279626056Nearly all Asian men go severely bald at some point, so it's not a complete cope.
>>279625673That's not Arikoto 3 he'll show up way later
>>279631407By Arikoto 3 you mean Takiyama right?
I'm glad an Arikoto-clone got a good ending
>>279624372Some very mixed feelings in the lower right panel.
You guys reckon mama's touching her grand/son right now?
>>279624510The male equivalent of "you are nothing but boobs".
>>279624107>what sort of woman would compel her grown son to keep his hair unshornhe's basically calling her a shotacon isn't he
>>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"?
>>279633088The 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.
>>279633319And 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.
>>279626056Egyptians wore wigs for better hygiene and to avoid the lice, but yeah.
>>279623352 (OP)what's this fucker doing in the cover?
>>279632809Stop projecting anon this isn't a theater
>>279624204Lost his brother and his son on the same day....
>>279624368Like father, like daughter
>>279645136Ienobu is probably meant to be plain but I think she's quite attractive in a MILF way
>>279645423what'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
>>279645256Her time as a shogun is yet to be judged, but as a person, at least, she's a good woman
>>279645340This 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
>>279645574I like this woman and her smiles
>>279645658There are two random kids out there who are now the older siblings and cousins of the shogun's heir
>>279645680She was far from perfect, or even good, but I pitied her
RIP
>>279645724Like ending up in a bizarre parallel universe
>>279645745Worth noting that the senior chamberlain in volume 1, after Ienobu died, was not named Ejima
>>279645892A LADDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>279646023>Chiyo They can't help but throw a curse upon the girl
>>279646217We haven't seen any women commit seppuku yet, right?
Interesting that they haven't seemed to pick that little habit up
>>279646256Manabe might be the best looking woman so far
>>279646023this matron is yet another famous personage of course
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arai_Hakuseki
>>279646278>>279646298well, at least he finally got to lay Manabe
>>279647123Doesn't sound like it'll end well though
>>279645520Currently retainers of the Tokugawas, one of the clans that fought together with them in the battle of Sekigahara.
>>279646413We have, but she committed suicide the female way by slitting her throat.
>>279645136How old is she supposed to be here?
>>279645187Well, I got my answer fast.
>>279645217The shogun position is cursed when it comes to birth
>>279645680Tsunayoshi is finally free.
>>279646298Sounds like Sakyo's gonna learn why you don't stick your dick in crazy.
>>279645745It must be one hell of a gut punch to not be loved even when men are a rare thing.
>>279645804Don't know if it's a self-confidence issue, or he really doesn't want to get between them.
>>279646298Oh come on. It can't be that bad.
>>279623922Who let O-Assistant draw faces again?
>>279645808Kek, hardest I've laughed in weeks.
>>279649613He'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.
>>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 eyesOnly 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 ลoku 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 Gekkล-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 daimyลs and the rลjลซ who had been in office since the time of the fifth shลgun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. >Within the ลoku, 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>literally the child of a jobberOutlook not good.
>>279645641new bestgirl candidate
>>279651700Enjoyed 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.
>>279645520tons of people were triforcin in that era
>>279646152The Mandate of Heaven was with Tsunayoshi after all!

im flying later this day
dumping new chapter
>>279649556I 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...
>>279655888TRIPs for an early dump and a safe trip!

ovaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>279656361Who could hate this cinnemon roll?
>>279656788The power of reverse traps is recognized even at that age!
>>279656930So the past is already forgotten by the members of the inner chamber at this point.
>>279655888Safe travels, enjoy your trip
>>279656236One hell of a way to open the volume
>>279656490How quickly the women grow comfortable
>>279656506>>279656523Getting a strange feeling about this
>>279656593Oh shit
I think this is the senior chamberlain from volume 1
>>279656612Nothing for it but seppuku
>>279656701Shut the fuck up while the play's on
>>279656738He likes women that look like men
>>279656769I smell a child coming on
>>279656954This is the equivalent of being a 2D lover before anime existed
>>279656971Thanks thou saucy fellow
Very foreboding final page
>>279649080oh. I thought it was the other way around for some reason.
>>279645808shut the fuck up hideyoshi
>>279656441my man went from long hair to balding to bald
>>279656701kabuki makes a lot more sense when you realize it's like an idol concert
>>279657983https://www.kokugakuin.ac.jp/en/article/10572
>The voices you hear during each kabuki act are shouts usually given by specialists known as โomuko (ลmukล),โ because yelling toward the stage is a difficult art, requiring them to choose the best โmaaiโ or intervals for timely shouts, while knowing each actorโs performances and their breathing patterns in full detail.
>>279656564>~doke doke dokeeee~>>279656660I'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.
