Thanks for the translation! (Been quite a while since i last commented, huh?)
I usually like mangas on western settings instead of eastern ones (kinda burnt out on japanese history, them samurai mangas are everywhere!), but i must admit i'm enjoying Murasaki and Ieroh's backstory a lot. I would've definitely read a standalone manga on these two, there's such a good contrast between their personalities and character design that makes them such an interesting pair of protagonists.
