In an alternative history of Edo-era Japan, the men are dying out and the women have taken up the reins of power!
In Edo period Japan, a strange new disease called the Redface Pox has begun to prey on the country’s men. Within eighty years of the first outbreak, the male population has fallen by 75 percent.

And the most beautiful of the men are sent to serve in the shogun’s Inner Chamber…

And now that he has finally convinced the banished Inner Chambers scholars that he is sincere in his aims, perhaps a cure is finally within reach!
