A devil with a heart of gold

This is such an interesting read. It’s funny, sad and historically informational regarding the time. I love the main characters nee-San. She seems so awful but she’s a great person despite how she is perceived/acts.

笑いあり涙ありです

There is laughter and there are tears

私が今まで見てきた花魁や吉原の話は湿っぽいというか悲しいというか報われないようなものが多かったのですが、こちらの作品はギャグのような笑いもあるし感動する涙もあるし最高です。続きがあるのであれば、読みたいです。

There were many stories about Kakai and Yoshiwara that I've watched up until now that were humid, or sad, or unrewarding, but this work has laughing like a gag, and there are moving tears, so it's amazing. If there's more, I'd like to read it.

かむろが可愛い

Kamuro is cute

This review contains spoilers. いわゆる陰欝な吉原物語ではないこと。橋立おいらんみたいになって、逆に男どもを痛めつけてやりたい！実はなみじと母子だったというオチにも驚き！

This review contains spoilers. It's not what you call an insidious Yoshiwara Monogatari. I want to be like Hashidate Oiran and hurt men the other way around! I was also surprised at the punch line that it was actually Namiji and her mother and child!

サウイフモノニワタシハナリタイ！

SAUIFUMONO NIWATASHI HANARITAI!

This review contains spoilers. 幼い頃からアニメよりも何故か時代劇が好きなので、この手のものは小説、漫画共によく読んでしまいますが、これは私の中ではトップクラス。時代劇(これは江戸文化、遊郭関係)初心者にも分かりやすい細かななみじ(禿)目線の解説は、江戸検定を受けたくて吉原関係の事も自ら調べているような私でも初めて知る事が多く、それだけでもいちいち面白いし、何よりも姐さんが粋過ぎて惚れる。廓の話には影がつきものだし、そもそも女にとっての生き地獄みたいなもんなのに、それを吹き飛ばしてくれるような姐さんの人情味溢れる粋さ、豪胆さ、それでいて繊細で細やかな気配り、気遣い。けど人に良く思われるような事は決して表に出す事なく地獄太夫を貫く姐さん。その背中を見て育つ禿、なみじ、、、あぁ〜、良い！！ずーっと見ていたい！！この終わり方でもホント最高なんですが、私は馬鹿ないち読者なので、出来るならばなみじが大人になるまでの話も、、、！と、密かに激しく所望しています。いや、この終わり方だからこそ良いのはちゃんと分かってるんですけどね、粋になりきれない欲張りな読者の戯言です。なみじの成長した姿も見てみたいだなんて、やっぱ野暮ですよねぇ、、、分かっているのに望んでしまう、、、あぁ、私はなんて野暮なんだ。姐さんみたいな粋で気っ風のいい人になりたい。私の目標、ほんとに姐さんですW

This review contains spoilers. Since I was a kid, I've liked period dramas over anime for some reason, so I often read both novels and comics, and this one is top class for me. The detailed explanations from the perspective of period dramas (this is Edo culture, red-light district) are easy to understand even for beginners, and I often know for the first time, even if I want to get an Edo certification and I'm researching things related to Yoshiwara myself, and that alone is interesting, and above all else, my sister is so stylish that I fall in love with her. The story of Kaku is overshadowed, and even though it's like a living hell for women in the first place, the sister's humane style, audacity, yet delicate and detailed attentiveness and care that blows it away. However, she runs through Jigokudayu without ever putting things that people think well. I can see that back and grow up... ah, good!! I want to watch it all the time!! This is really the best way it ends, but I'm an idiot reader, so if possible, I can talk about how Namiji becomes an adult...! I'm secretly hoping very much. No, I know exactly that it's good because of this way it ends, but it's nonsense from a greedy reader who can't be stylish enough. Wanting to see Namiji grow up is wild after all, isn't it... even though I know it, but I want it... ah, how wild I am. I want to be a stylish and good-natured person like my sister. my goal is really my sister lol

おすすめ度満点(o^^o)

Highly recommended (o^^o)

当時の風俗をわかりやすく書いており絵も上手です！アダルトのイメージがありますがあらら（笑）と、笑ってしまう感じなのでエロが苦手でも問題なし！もう少し続いて欲しかったー

The manners and customs of that time are written in an easy-to-understand manner, and the pictures are also good! There is an image of an adult, but it makes me laugh (lol), so there's no problem even if I'm not good at erotica! I wanted it to continue a little longer

何回も

Over and over

読んでます。最初は絵の感じがいまいち好きになれませんでしたけど、話が面白くて次々読んでいくうちに絵も少しずつ綺麗になってたんで読みやすかったです。続きが出ないかな？なんて淡い期待してます。

I'm reading it. At first, I didn't really like the feel of the picture, but the story was interesting, and as I read it one by one, the pictures became beautiful little by little, so it was easy to read. I wonder if more will come out? What a pale expectation.

素敵

nice

おいらん姐さんのかっこよさにしびれるだけではなくて、切ないお話もたくさん。お色気シーンも思ったより少なくて、最低限の割合？安心して読めます。何度も読み返しています。

Not only do I get numb by how cool Sister Oiran is, but there are also a lot of sad stories. There are fewer sex appeal scenes than I thought, so it's the minimum ratio? You can read it with peace of mind. I've reread it over and over again.

粋とはこういうもの

This is what style is

ホントに面白かった！暗くなりがちな吉原の話題を、人情味溢れる江戸のいなせな感じで描かれていて、何度も読み返した。もっと続けばいいのに。すごく格好いい。

It was really fun! The topic of Yoshiwara, which tends to get dark, was depicted with a sense of humility in Edo, and I reread it over and over again. I wish I could keep going. It's really cool.

江戸前好きに推奨?

Recommended for Edomae lovers?

本で吉原の知識を少しは知っていましたが、おいらんの由来は初めて知り目から鱗でした?江戸モノ好きなら、既知の情報でもマンガだと新鮮に映るのでは？?想像の世界が具現化されますから?実際に四郎兵衛会所がSMを容認していたか分からないだけに、ツボりました?吉原の世界をおいらんでなくかむろ視点で描く手法も、斬新です✌

I knew a little bit about Yoshiwara from the book, but was the origin of Oiran the first time I knew it? If you like Edo stuff, wouldn't even known information look fresh if it's a manga? because the world of imagination will come to life? I didn't know if the Shirobei Kaisho actually tolerated SM, so it was a pressure point? The method of drawing the world of Yoshiwara from an unconcerned point of view is also novel ✌

“Stylish” Ane-san

花魁って華やかで、女の闘いで、ドロドロ！があるけど…まぁ、これにもあるけど粋で気っ風のいいかっこよさがぶっ飛ばしてくれます☀ちょいと⚡落ちたら恐いけどついていきますっ！ってかんじ。

Hanakai are gorgeous, women's fights, and muddy! There is... well, this one also has it, but the stylish and good-natured coolness takes it away ☀ I'm afraid if it falls a little ⚡, but it will follow along! I think so.

✨おもしろいです?✌

✨ Funny? ✌

✨地獄太夫という異名を持つ、気っ風のイイ花魁と、その禿(雑用をする遊女見習いの子供)が主人公✨ 杉浦日向子さんの江戸モノが好みの方にはピッタリ? なにしろドＳな花魁なので、当然お客はドＭの年寄りが多いです?? 吉原の風俗を子供(禿)の眼を通して人情味豊かに生き生きと描いてます✨

✨ The main characters are good-natured Hanakai, nicknamed Jigokudayu, and her (a prostitute apprentice child doing chores) ✨ Perfect for those who like Edo things by Hinako Sugiura? After all, it's a bad-spirited flower, so of course there are a lot of old people who are Do-M?? It vividly depicts the customs of Yoshiwara with a rich sense of humanity through the eyes of children (children) ✨

苦界の世界を面白く描いている。橋立となみじの関係がまた良い。橋立に踏み潰されているなみじの表情が面白い。そして、なみじが色々理解しているのがすごい。

It depicts a difficult world in an interesting way. The relationship between Hashidate and Miji is also good. The expression of Namiji being crushed by Hashidate is interesting. Also, it's amazing that Namiji understands so many things.

She looks scary and cold; in fact, she's a very affectionate woman. Even though they are prostitutes, there are so many nice women! that's cool. Other people are quite individualistic. Yoshiwara is also profound...

花魁の生活

The life of a flower carp

ストーリーとしても面白いのですが花魁の生活がちゃんと調べて描いてあるようで江戸の生活の歴史という意味でも楽しめる物です

It's also interesting as a story, but it seems like the life of a flower carp has been properly researched and drawn, and it's something you can enjoy in terms of the history of life in Edo

面白いです！

It's interesting!

もともと花魁の話が好きだったのですが今まで知らなかった言葉や時代背景も分かりやすく書かれてて良かったです！花魁独特の悲劇的な話もなく、むしろ橋立花魁のサッパリとした性格や語りのなじみのおかげでサクサクと読めて今じゃ完全にハマってます(^^)そこまでエロくもないし、そういった描写が苦手な女性でも抵抗なく読めると思います。早く続きが読みたいです！！

I originally liked the story of Kakai, but I'm glad that words and historical backgrounds I didn't know until now were written in an easy-to-understand manner! There are no tragic stories unique to Kakai; rather, thanks to Hashidate Kakai's refreshing personality and familiar narration, I'm completely addicted to it now (^^) It's not that erotic, and I think even women who don't like that kind of depiction can read it without resistance. I want to read more soon!!

おいらん

Oiran

吉原の花魁を中心として、江戸の性風俗が分かる漫画。現代に通じる部分もあって(主役格の花魁はS女王)、面白い。

A comic showing sexual customs in Edo, with Yoshiwara no Kakai at the center. There is also a part leading to the present day (the leading role is Queen S), which is interesting.
