Quick read.
I bought this manga at London Expo ComicCon 2014 because I have loved the film for many years now. Because it is a stand-alone manga, there are things that are explored more in the movie, but overall, the story was intriguing and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will definitely re-read it in the future.
The artwork is amazing. Although, at times it was hard to distinguish some of the artists apart, the artwork was glorious, and there were several full-colour pages that were just stunning. The front cover itself is beautiful, with such vibrant colours - love it!
Warning: this contains graphic images because, well, it's about Japanese courtesans in the Edo period. They have sex. A lot.
