Ôoku: The Inner Chambers, Vol. 7 by Fumi Yoshinaga

4.0

Enjoyed this volume a lot more than I did the last couple. We're actually back to where the story started, but this time with the knowledge of all that has happened to bring us to this point. It was definitely an interesting framing device, to see the characters from the first volume with new eyes after understanding the context of certain things. And I don't know if I'm just imagining things, but I feel like the author is spending more of an effort at making the characters distinct from each other. They're still similar-looking but an improvement's an improvement.
