   	Hi readers and writers.   
   		The other day I bought what is probably the last volume in the Ooku   
   series, volume 10, and this AM I went to look at information online to   
   see if there will be more of it,   
   	Here is some information from Wiki to show you how this achievement was   
   received.  This is a manga for mature readers not   
   for children or lustful adolescents seeking stimulation.   
      
   >ÅŒoku: The Inner Chambers (大奥 ÅŒoku?) is an ongoing Japanese manga   
   series written and   
   > illustrated by Fumi Yoshinaga. The plot follows an alternate history of   
   medieval   
   >Japan in which an unknown disease kills most of the male population, leading   
   to a   
   >matriarchal society in which the ÅŒoku becomes a harem of men serving the now   
   female shogun.   
   >   
   > The manga has been serialized in Hakusensha's josei magazine Melody since   
   2005. Hakusensha   
   >has released seven tankÅ   
   bon volumes to date, starting in September 29, 2005. The manga is   
   >licensed in North America by Viz Media and in Taiwan by Sharp Point Press. In   
   addition to   
   >winning an Excellence Prize at the 2006 Japan Media Arts Festival[1] and a   
   special prize   
   >at The Japanese Association of Feminist Science Fiction and Fantasy's fifth   
   annual   
   >Sense of Gender Awards in 2005,[2] the manga was nominated for the first   
   annual Manga TaishÅ   
      
   >in 2008[3] and three times for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize[4][5][6]   
   before winning   
   > the Grand Prize in April 2009.[7] It was adapted into a live action film in   
   2010 and   
   >it will be adapted into a drama series and another live action film in   
   2012.[8]   
      
   	What can I say that while some of the ways the author wrote the story I   
   found mildly bothersome is that I looked forward to every volume   
   released.  The art was beyond criticism.  The behavior of the characters   
   involved in Palace intrigues was realistic.  The climax was   
   logical.  Look for the volumes for sale online or at your local manga   
   shop.
