[MANGA] Sakuran

A one-volume josei historical manga by Moyoco Anno, serialized in Kodansha’s Evening from 2001 to 2003 and later published in English by Vertical as Sakuran: Blossoms Wild . The story follows Kiyoha, a girl sold into the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter during the Edo period, as she grows from a defiant child servant into a high-ranking courtesan. Anno presents Yoshiwara as glittering and brutal at once, using Kiyoha’s ambition, rage, beauty, and heartbreak to strip away the fantasy around courtesan life.
