Synopsis

Eight years ago, Tsubaki, a daughter of a successful businessman, was reluctantly given to the Yoshiwara, the red light district of Tokyo, after a tragic fire burned down the entire family's wealth and belongings. Shin, a childhood friend of Tsubaki's, coldly turned his back on her now that she was poor. Furious, Tsubaki, threw herself into becoming a top oiran girl to beguile him with her looks and then reject him one day! But plans are never as easy as they seem. For one, the beautiful and cold-hearted Takao stands in her way.

I'm surprised to see Oiran Girl has never been reviewed on MAL. Although it's a regular historical shoujo in terms of story (heroine that lost all her fortune, forbidden love, the dashing hero who protects her and is obviously deeply in love but is bound by the shackles of their previous master/servant relationship, the obvious historical setting of Yoshiwara, yada yada, you know the drill), the delicious art and the most wonderful expressions of the characters turn it into a worthy read.

Though the manga is built on history, it's more dependent upon the new characters and conflicts introduced every chapter that could threaten Tsubaki's ascension to top courtesan or possibly reveal oiran Takao's greatest ...

WOW, I can't believe this isn't a more popular read. That being said, I had low expectations when I started reading, and almost stopped reading 4 chapters in, but decided to stick it out for a few more just in case. I am so glad I did!

The main female character, Tsubaki, is a strong female lead without being over-the-top aggressive or so in charge that it's unrealistic. She has a mind of her own and saves people from situations, but also gets saved herself, which I find a lot more realistic than other female leads who are either one or the other. I found her ...
