In this 17th Century Japan the Shogun is a woman...and the harem is full of men. Reads R to L (Japanese Style), for M audiences.

He hopes to protect the shogunate the same way his mentor Arikoto once did. But the numerous intrigue of the Inner Chambers—and the shogun herself—are pushing Gyokuei’s patience and cunning to the breaking point.
