Having no electricity, I am reading my rlist/flist by candlelight. KINDLE.

I have just read Ooku volume 2. Yoshinaga Fumi, I take back EVERY BAD THING I HAVE EVER SAID ABOUT YOU.

HAH! :)

I am currently attempting to read Ooku vol 1. By "attempting," I mean "OMG translator your twee faux!European!medieval translation has the questionable honor of being the first manga translation to ever literally make it diffiult for me to read a manga based purely on your translation."

I really don't know what they were thinking.

You're not alone!

(The story and characters are awesome enough to make it worth suffering through, but if this were something I'd randomly picked up by an unknown mangaka? I'd have thrown it against the wall.)

Speaking of Yoshinaga-sensei, have you read All My Darling Daughters yet?

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I haven't yet, but intend to.

Seconding the call for you to try Yoshinaga's All My Darling Daughters.

Lol. This. But if you struggle through it, I think it's worth it. I really, really like it.

My distaste for the adaptation is too great to be expressed by mere words; I had to make up a dance.
