Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, Volume 1 by Fumi Yoshinaga

4.0

This is a fantastic manga that is so, so, so close to getting a five-star rating from me - if it weren't for the awful, awful translation. I'll have to hunt down the rest in Japanese, because I don't know how much more pseudo-Shakespearean English I can stomach. Readers understand this story takes place in the past - there's no need to throw in all those ridiculous "thou"s and "-eth"s!
