Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, Volume 1 by Fumi Yoshinaga

2.0

I clearly only read enough of the description of this book to see "a disease kills 75% of men, so now women are in charge" because I was very surprised/disappointed/annoyed at how dude-centric this was. And then! The main dude that the first few issues are about just up and disappears two thirds of the way through! I actually started liking it a lot more then, because the focus switched more to the new female emperor. If the book had been about that from the start, I probably would read more of the series, but as it is, it wasn't enough to entice me to continue.
