Unique and unforgettable

Really enjoying this manga so far. It has q unique premise and is worth every penny to read. The FL really makes you root for her and even the side characters have decent backstory and depth. Strongly recommend.

Simply the Best

This is one of the best titles on MangaPlaza. Complex, truly human characters; a fully realized sense of world building; effecting moments of emotional depth, as well as deeply funny comedy; meticulous and unique art work.

Light-touch genre pieces have a place in my heart for sure. This is not one of them.

Do not sleep on this memorable, nuanced, rewarding series.

Making the best of a bad situation, with style

Come for the gorgeous art and fancy kimonos, stay for the poignant story of overcoming adversity and exploitation. This manga indulges in the glamour on the surface, but it doesn't shy away from the darker side of life in a red-light district either. It also really lets its protagonist and all the other women in the story shine, centering their stories and complexities. The plot is so deep, too; every new chapter peels back another layer and adds another twist. Whatever happens, I'm rooting for these ladies to get their own happy endings!

My favorite manga of all time

Everything. This story hits so close to home for me and captures so much of the personal experiences of sex work and the interpersonal connections and complicated emotions of working in such an industry. The author and the artists are so brilliant in their storytelling and I'm grateful for them making it with such compassion. If I could buy the print copies of this I would!!

Insane

This is such a compelling read! Watching the main character grow and overcome her hardships is wonderful. It’s also nice to see a female character who is ready to find the best way to assist herself, but not giving up every principle.

今までにないタイプの話

An unprecedented type of story

ストーリー設定がよくできていて、場面がどんどん変わる。そしてどんどん面白くなるから続きが気になってしょうがない。

The story is well set up, and the scenes change steadily. And it gets more and more interesting, so I can't help but worry about the continuation.

最近の展開が好きすぎる(*^ω^*)2人のもどかしいながらの距離の詰まり方が秀逸！！こう言う情緒が込められた作品は素晴らしいと思う

I like recent developments too much (*^ω^*) The way the distance is blocked while the two are frustrated is excellent!! I think works with this kind of emotion are wonderful

1番好きです

I like it the most

本当に最初からずっと展開が読めなくてハラハラしていました。恋愛の部分も大好きですが、アザミの成長も細かく描かれていてつい読み込んで読み終わったあとは今後どうなるのかひとりで考察したりもします笑両片思いが長い作品が大好きなのでほんとに焦らすなー?と思いながら読んでいます。今後吉原がどうなるのかふたりの関係が進んでくのか目が離せないです！

I was really nervous because I couldn't read the development from the beginning. I love the romance part too, but the growth of thistles is also depicted in detail, and after I've read it and finished reading it, I even think about what will happen in the future by myself lol I love works where they both have a long unrequited love, so don't you really get impatient? I'm reading it while thinking. I can't take my eyes off to see what will happen to Yoshiwara in the future and see how the relationship between the two progresses!

きゃーっ、お願いこのまま…

huh, please leave it like this...

This review contains spoilers. めっちゃいいとこで終わってしまったぁ。無事にこのまま邪魔されずにアザミののぞみが叶ってますように。１つ前の話しでライブ配信の人達が外にいたのが何の予告か気になるけど、とりあえずは２人に幸せを感じてほしいな。

This review contains spoilers. It ended up in a really good place. May the thistle's nozomi come true safely without being disturbed as it is. I'm wondering what kind of notice it was that the people on the live stream were outside in the previous story, but for now, I want the two of them to feel happy.
