Synopsis

We get some backstory about how a disease that affects only men has swept through imperial Japan and leaves only about 10% of men alive. Women quickly move into the governing roles, and men become protected and pampered and prized. Yoshimune Mizuno is the sole son of a low-ranking samurai family, and to increase his family's wealth and position, he offers to serve in the Ōoku -- the private inner court of the Shogun occupied completely by men. Yoshimune makes an initial impression on the Ōoku with his stunning looks and his excellent fencing skills.
