Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, Volume 1 by Fumi Yoshinaga
5.0
An alternate history take on Japan during the Edo period, this story starts 80 years after a terrible plague. This plague, the Redface Pox, has claimed 75 percent of the male population, leaving great social change along with grief in its wake. This story follows the lives of people used to gender roles very different from those we know though still influenced by a more "traditional" system.
An attention grabbing start to a series! I'm very curious to see where this goes, both regarding where the characters themselves end up and how the "main plot" will turn out (aka finding out how much of previous historical events has been erased from recorded history + how they will deal with foreign influences). Definitely checking out the next part!
