I've just finished reading volume 10 of Ooku. It's such a great read. The wait for every volume to come out is excruciating.
I was wondering if anyone knew if this volume was the last one?
SPOILER AHEAD. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ VOLUME 10.

It had a certain feeling of finality since, well, we finally have the first male shogun in many years and the cure for the Redface pox has been found. But it seems there could still be at least another volume where we could see the how the pox is eradicated and things return to normal. But then again, even the cover art is completely different so maybe it really is the end. Wikipedia says only 10 volumes have been released?

I made sure not to read your whole message. Thank you for the spoiler warning!

I buy most of the volumes from a store and when I asked if they had anymore volumes, they said only the first ten and it would probably be the last, since they didn't have anything planned.

Well that's a tad sad. I would have liked to see at least another volume. It's such a great manga.

Volume 11 has been published in Japan, so unless they're not going to localize the rest I assume so.
