Ôoku vol. 6.
Jun. 20th, 2011 17:18Yoshinaga Fumi. Ôoku. 7 vols. Tokyo: Hakusensha, 2005-2011.
Volume 6 brings Tsunayoshi's story to its protracted, painful close and ends with the death of the sixth shogun, Ienobu, whom we saw very briefly at the beginning of volume 1. The first time is tragedy, the second time is farce.
( Contains spoilers. Discusses dub-con situations and incest. )
The movie, which apparently deals with the story of Mizunoshin and Yoshimune, came out last October. My hopes are not high. ETA: thanks to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
