I do wonder if Yoshinaga might be here recording not alt-history but presenting a real history'one that is only other than what we have previously known to be the case because it was lost to us. As she is careful to retain all these key incidents, keeps foreign powers from recognizing that the Shogun is female, and retains the male names of Japan's historical rulers (as well as their female consorts), I wonder if she might not'by series' end'return Japan to status quo, with men in roughly equal number to women and have the men return to the seat of power. In such a case, the history of women's tenure in rulership might be understandably lost to the passage of time. It would be an interesting way to take the story and there are some seeds laid to this affect in volume 1, but now that I've thought of it, I'm hoping she'll come up with something even more daring and inventive.
