Confirmed active queer rep! Still liking this series with its political machinations and chicanery. Good stuff!

'pon my troth
can it be true? do mine eyes deceive me?
was there now a volume of ooku of light heart with no tragedy to be seen?
tis a miracle. a miracle i say!
though i did see ominous tidings towards this volume's end
shun them yoshinaga, i beg you. let hiraga gennai continue upon the world, a blessed grain of merriment and splendour. let tanuma remain that shining rarity, a politician working for the good of her people. let this golden age of few deaths and much character splendour amble on
at the very least let gennai have another kiss if she so desires because her reaction was cute as heck
4 stars

This was the last of the volumes I owned. I'm still enjoying the story so I'll be carrying on.

Ack, the drama continue and I continue being terrible at remembering names! Again, I can't stress enough how much I recommend buying this series so you can reread parts and figure out who is who, if you like me are terrible at names.
The series has now gone a bit into medical drama, though court intrigues continue to be the main focus. I adore the character Gosaku/Aonuma for his honest dedication to medicin and helping people, and I adore Hiraga Gennai for her outspoken and carefree attitude (that will surely get her into horrible trouble). Really looking forward to reading the next volume!

Powering through this epic, really was quite invested in the storyline with Hiraga Gennai. Can't anyone I like in this story have a happy ending though?!?

two words: HIRAGA GENNAI
sugita genpaku makes an appearance, too. but the moment when ihee meets his hero in person is priceless. that one panel made me laugh for five minutes! looks like book 10 will revolve around hiraga gennai quite a lot - but when will 10 come out????? when??????????
