Musings of the day: "If he cheats on you"?! Girl, who's he gonna on you with? With a book? (Before anyone says anything, I know real life's Michizane was also a bit of a player, but I just can't see this Michizane ever turning out like that).

Funnily enough, Tadaomi is his teacher and future father-in-law, but Michizane doesn't call him Tadaomi-sensei or even Tadaomi-dono. He's just "Tadaomi". What a brazen son-in-law...

Also, yeah, Hakubai is really horny (good for her!), which is fair, because Narihira and Haseo are too, so this is true gender equality/j

We love to see women in male-dominated fields.

I really like how the plot twist was that the woman was holding a grudge when in the end she really was like him, no wonder they're getting along lol

Thanks for the translation!

This manga is actually very good at conveying the level of sexual liberty noblewomen had in the Heian era. Japanese people of today have a mistaken view of ancient chastity because they came out of later samurai culture that was obsessed with family honor and put a lot more restrictions on women, but Heian-kyo was a capital of promiscuity.

At this point I don't even care about the Fujiwaras and all their awful plots, this two-parter was just so much fun and gave us a great look at the equal-opportunity fun times noblemen and women were having in the Heian period.
