Synopsis
Follows Kiyoha, a rebellious, powerhouse courtesan on the rise in 18th century Edo's pleasure quarter. Living in the lustrous world of Yoshiwara, she was determined to stand on her own two feet and live life as she pleased. Choosy about her customers, and both boon and headache to her employers, Kiyoha wants to find her freedom rather than have a rich merchant buy it.
