Tokyograph - "“Ooku” is set during the Edo period of Japan, in an alternate history where a mysterious disease that affects only males has resulted in a population where women overwhelmingly outnumber men. As a result, woman are the dominant members of society, and due to scarcity, men are valued for their ability to produce offspring. The shoguns are female instead of male, and the “ooku” (the inner chambers of the shogun’s castle) consists of a harem of men."
ETA 9/19: A limited premiere viewing/press con for the drama Ooku ~Tanjou~ [Arikoto・Iemitsu Volume] will be held on 2012.10.05, starting at 6PM. Koki is planned to be in attendance.
