To commemorate the 35th anniversary of her debut, the "Anno Moyoco Selection" project has been launched.
The first in the series will be "Sakuran," which carefully depicts the world of the red-light district and has also been made into a film.

This work is a historical drama manga that was serialized in "Evening" (Kodansha) from 2001 to 2003 for female readers. In this anthology, the elusive second chapter (3 stories, 67 pages in total), which was specially published in 2005, is included in a book for the first time. Using the latest printing technology, the pages are beautifully reproduced in detail from the original manuscript in both color and black and white.
In addition, the end of the book includes a selection of Edo-era beauties drawn by the author.
We hope you enjoy this special book that will allow you to fully experience a world of aesthetic beauty.

Those who receive more than others are hated more than others - it is a woman's world swirling with jealousy.

After being sold into prostitution as a young girl, Kiyoka eventually rises to become a star in Yoshiwara.
Temper and talent. Intelligence and strategy.
Having mastered the art of living as a courtesan, it was easy for Kiyoha to rise to the top.

However, behind the glamorous world lies a harsh reality.
The unconventional Kiyoha has many enemies and has been punished, hurt, and humiliated time and time again.
Hidden beneath her strong will is a heart that seems fragile, yet is painfully honest.

After reading this book, you will surely

"Live your life the way you want to"
"Live a strong life"

Yes, that must seem like it.
