The Zequel ft. Colleen's Manga Recs (Ooku: The Inner Chambers Eps 1-3‪)‬ Shoujo Sundae

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Colleen of Colleen’s Manga Recs review episodes one through three of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode one, Mizuno’s story is a mesmerizing one to follow. Yoshimune’s approach as Shogun is praised. The darkness woven throughout the Ooku is both intriguing and disturbing. In episode two, we meet the sweet and responsible Arikoto, whose life is forever changed upon “visiting” the Ooku. We also meet Lady Kasuga, who makes a permanent home in Hot Fudge after forcing Arikoto to stay at the Ooku by literally any means possible. In episode three, we learn more about Iemistu and Arikoto’s life at the Ooku. Iemitsu’s gift of a white cat to Arikoto at the end of the episode stirs up some both serious and extremely unserious Sprinkles on Top. Gyokuei’s character is lightly analyzed and Kasuga is roasted yet again.
