Yae no Sakura

[Flower]

Was really surprised not to find a thread on this manga when searching.



Summary: "A dramatization of the real life of Yaeko Yamamoto. Over 100 years ago, Yaeko broke traditional Japanese stereotypes gender and honor to become a gun-warrior in defense of her homeland of Aizu.

A dramatization of actual events by Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai! artist Youhei Takemura and by drama writer Mutsumi Yamamoto, who is also the writer for the upcoming Taiga drama of the same name and story."

This is actually a pretty good read, and just recently ch 5 was released.

Anyone else following it?

[Sumeragi]

Reading, yes, but not really following it constantly.

Is this more of an advertisement Tie-in for The Taiga Dorama? Haven't seen more chapter released...

For the first all I can say is I honestly don't know.

For the second I would chalk it up to "real life issues" and busy schedules getting in the way.

It is a pity as I enjoy the series, but I guess I follow the ole "beggars should not be choosers" policy for myself when similar questions arise for me. ^^

It is, but it's not exactly the same story. The manga has its own strengths.

Yeah. That's a pity. I had to read the whole thing raw myself. It was too good to wait for a translation.
