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.

To be fair besides her lady-in-waiting her mom seems like the only person he really interacted with, but I bet that Iemochi is gonna heal her

>>280755049
Maybe Ienari shouldn't have killed the redface pox after all...

>>280757561
awwwww they have a pretty cute dinamic, so things aren't going to end well

>>280755822
What a twist!

>>280756204
It's really a shame that this is what they turned her into. And for something she had no control over.

Here I thought fashion was static in the rest of the country for barely changing over two hundred years, but then there's the court still dressing the way people did during the earliest part of the flashback.

>>280757561
thx

>>280771815
I think it's kind of like how the upper escalations of the Roman Catholic church still dress like it's the middle ages even now. Their clothes froze at one point in time and they kept wearing them because they're basically uniforms of office. So the imperial court is still dressing like it's the Heian period because that was the last time they were relevant.

It makes it pretty noticeable that once the imperial court becomes actually relevant again they instantly update in fashion to modern times.

>>280773134
Man I'd love for this manga to keep going and cover the Meiji restoration

>>280756444
She's way cuter with her natural eyebrows.

>>280773346
That would be interesting to see.

>>280757367
ok, now I definitely think she will ruin the whole shogunate. this bitch is crazy.

Soon

>>280780279
Gawain, you have to be one of the worst retards on this board. You have never made a good post and absolutely ruined /a/.

>>280780540
His picks good storytimes.

>>280773346
>>280777384
It would be interesting, but by then the Oooku was gone and the secret history becomes regular history, so the point of the manga disappears and the reader can just open a book. (I am gonna miss the manga, though)

>>280779564
Nothing she can do can ruin the shogunate more than the state it's already in.

>>280783634
the oooku has barely been important recently to be honest.

Suddenly remembered the glasses cutie who got executed for sharing a map
What a shame

>>280780540
Sometimes he does shit that's a little retarded but I find the guy incredibly endearing for some reason or other

>>280783740
It's still where most of the manga is set, it's just not important to Japan as a whole because the shogunate is failing

>>280784795
>the shogunate is failing
nonsense, the imperial court and its allies will soon be under control as it has been for the last 200 years.

Soonish

Oh they done fucked up.

Naivety doesn't being to describe it. You would think that the land of "an entire clan dies because of a misunderstanding" will understand how bad this it.

>>280788033

This fucking CHAD, a man like this should not be lordless.

>>280787748
Is this the incident where some guy had to disembowel himself in front of the europeans to make up for the insult? I remember reading a letter where one of the europeans was worried that they were supposed to refuse the seppuku and they just didn't know the etiquette. He was impressed that they'd go so far though and thought that it was admirable and it would save blood in the long term to act so dramatically.

>>280787896
>Nah, go on. My people are indeed retarded.

OP i don't wanna get in the way of this current volume but you didn't post this page in a previous volume. not sure if you noticed or not

>280788399
that was a mistake

>>280786942
Remember when the Ooku was a life sentence with a vow of absolute secrecy nobody ever entered or left other than the shogun herself?

>>280788132
This truly is the end.

Was wondering about that. However, you interrupted the dump with an image of our own. This is a most grievous offense, but it was spoilered. I expect you will be allowed to commit Sepuku rather a than be beheaded.

So are they still keeping bears in pens around the country, or is that a thing of the past?

>>280805414
who the fuck knows, but good question

>>280805414
Might happen in places with fewer tourists to make a big deal out of it.

>>280788223
this feels like a huge blunder, having the shogun pay respects to the emperor pretty much shows they have no power over them.

It will be mentioned but the expressions in this manga are truly top tier.

I like Iemochi more than Iesada, I see the vision of what the author was trying to do with her but it wasn't properly executed in general i feel like she was overshadowed.

She knew that from an early age. This is her realizing that there is nothing that can make her mother care about her.

Nah, even one of Hirohito's brothers married a Tokugawa.

You know, the little old man in Baki is also Tokugawa for example. While he's fictional, the idea of a living member wasn't meant to be that crazy (and he's a Tokugawa because the ground the Budokan was built on used to be a residence of the clan, so it's not so absurd that he would have a private underground arena under it.)
