Sorry that it took us a while when you kindly allowed us to work on this manga, but better late than never, right? 🙃 I really like Hagio's "real-life" stories (except for her later josei works; those never spoke to me). The atmosphere she creates, the pacing, the characters, the dramatization are all. 💯 Have you read her Golden Lilac? Since it's another historical Hagio manga, it's got my attention.
