Ōoku: The Inner Chambers/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


These things about Ōoku: The Inner Chambers are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • Fridge Horror: Healthy postpubecent men are rare, and there are women who will never scrape up the money for more than a session or two with the most damaged whores. An unarmed man alone in the wrong part of town or a strange hamlet is a serious temptation to a few work-hardened sorts with access to hammers, as they only need one appendage working right.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Shogun Iemitsu the Younger (or Lady Chie, depending on who you ask), especially in Volume Two.
  • Moral Event Horizon: "Cut down the monk on the left." Earlier, Kasuga orders the killing of Chie's mother as she drags the kid away, though the reader doesn't find out until much later.
  • Tear Jerker: Enough for their own page.
