Ok so I'm getting really confused about Henry's mother. Why is she so antagonistic towards his marriage to a foreign wife? I get that she is upper-class, even former nobility, but why on earth is a foreign wife such an ill move in her view?
Good art, great/good story, later half becomes a bit repetitive with Azumi making friends, doing her thing, then losing her friends in ever more tragic ways. Guess there's a point to it. Somewhat historically accurate.
