Ôoku: The Inner Chambers, Vol. 19

In this final volume of the alternative-history manga series, the Tokugawa shogunate collapses as a new imperial government takes control of Japan. For generations, after a deadly plague decimated the male population, women ruled the nation from Edo Castle, supported by a male harem in the Inner Chambers. Now, the rising political regime seeks to dismantle the old feudal order and systematically erase all historical records of the female shoguns. As the era transitions into the Meiji Restoration, survivors like Tensho-in and Prince Kazu struggle to preserve the truth of their lived history before it is rewritten forever.
