   	Finished this yesterday and it is an improvement on Volumes 1 and 2.   
   	Shows the problems of succession without a male heir, what the daimyo are   
   doing and what the shogun does.   
   	The redface pox rages right into the Ooku.   
      
   	Loved it, but maybe not as much as Yawara, possibly due to the nature of   
   an alternative history story.  Maybe I read too much Turtledove?   
      
   	VIZ made a good choice with this manga.   
      
   	Volume 4 coming in August 2010 according to VIZ.   
      
   	later
