Sakuran: Blossoms Wild by Moyoco Anno

4.0

If you want your historical manga fix in one volume it might be up your alley, Anno's Sakuran follows the story on women in the Edo Period of Japanese history. Detailing the lives and customs and loves of courtesans and those who keep them, love them and pay for them, it's a good fit for manga-ka Moyoco Anno whose body of work ranges from cutesy Sugar Sugar Rune to more darker and psychological bodies of work that include In Clothes Called Fat (a fave of mine) and Happy Mania which for mature readers. A manga on sex workers in a time period in Japan written and illustarted by a Japanese woman. For older readers and those looking for more mature offerings in manga format.
