Way better then the last volume. It gave me a soap opera vibe.

The flashbacks to previous female shoguns continue, and we're slowly but surely catch up with "present day". Intrigue and tension abounds!

I reaaaally need to buy this series. It's great, but at this point there are so many characters it would be helpful to check back with previous volumes (that I've returned to the library). Still highly recommend this!

oh my goodness this volume has everything. 生類憐れみの令! awesome reunion of two old friends! (will not say who in order not to spoil, but...!) 赤穂浪士! young yoshimune! ahhhhhhhhhh. the only thing missing was a saikaku cameo. i think i would have DIED from happiness if she had managed that.
