Story :  Yoshiwara, old Edo's paradise of pleasure, has been reborn in modern-day Tokyo.... In this playground of the powerful, where money rules all, women sell both their bodies and the idea of romance to their male clientele. Thrust into this world is the ingenue Asuka, who's been sold out by her foster parents to pay off their debts. While at first oblivious to the nature of Yoshiwara, she accidentally barges in on a "transaction" between a courtesan and her client. Confronted with her new reality of being bought and sold, she longs to make a break for it... but is there anyone around her she can trust...?!

    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!

A Wide-Eyed Young Courtesan Vows to Reach the Top as an Oiran!
This wasn't the life she wanted, but now that she's here Asuka is determined to make her own way in the Yoshiwara pleasure district. I'll be following her story every step of the way as she goes from trainee to full-fledged courtesan while trying to stay true to herself!
