Ôoku: The Inner Chambers, Vol. 10, Volume 10 by Fumi Yoshinaga

5.0

The saga of alt-Japan continues! The medical battle against the Red Face Pox has begun for real, with the shogun investing in "Hollander medicine", which isn't too popular with everyone. Chinese medicine is the way forward according the majority of doctors. But the Inner Chambers has always been a world of its own, so research continues there. But for how long?

This volume started with a character overview which was so very helpful! The downside of borrowing these from the local library is that after a few generations of characters you lose track of who is who. And in this series you need updates on who is who because time flies in this series. You turn a page and five years might have passed. Not in a bad way, though, it's all very built up, but keeping track of characters is a challenge.

Still recommend this series! Even though it keeps making me so, sooo sad.
