Shū Okimoto’s Yoshiwara Platonic Manga Ends in 4th Volume
Yoshiwara Platonic by Sh Okimoto’s third compilation book volume confirmed on December 22 that the manga would finish with its next volume.
Sadachika, a samurai from the Edo era who is crazy with ukiyo-e art, is the main character of the manga. Sadachika’s father sends him to one of the most sought-after courtesans in the Yoshiwara red light district, the high-ranking tay Murasaki, in an attempt to educate him how to seduce women. When Sadachika first meets Murasaki, he is apprehensive, but Sadachika’s home cooking ultimately sparks the beginning of their romance.
In November 2021, Okimoto published the manga in Kodansha’s Morning magazine.
Shin and Yuko Kibayashi, writing as Tadashi Agi, collaborated with illustrator Okimoto to publish The Drops of God manga in Kodansha’s Morning magazine in 2004. In 2009, a live-action manga television series debuted in Japan. The 44th and final compilation book volume was released in July 2014 after the manga’s run concluded in June of that year. Marriage “Kami no Shizuku Saishsh” (Marriage “The Drops of God Final Arc”), the manga’s last chapter, began in May 2015 and ran through October 2020.
The manga has been made available digitally in English by Kodansha USA Publishing and Comixology.
The manga was renowned for increasing the sales of the wines featured in the tale during its run on the serial page. The manga was acknowledged by the French wine publication La Revue du vin de France, which presented it with the publication’s highest honour in 2010. In its Dining and Wine column, The New York Times also featured the comic in 2008.
A new multilingual live-action television series being produced by American, French, and Japanese businesses is being inspired by the manga.
