. It can get confusing, and Yoshinaga's art does not always make it clear how old the various young women are. In one scene a girl looks to be in her teens, but when the panel zooms out, she looks like a small child. This further complicates issues of time, something which has consistently been an issue for the series.


As much as I love Yoshinaga's work, I have to agree that this has been a HUGE problem for me as well. She is an excellent storyteller, but I find that I need to have ALL the volumes with me when I read Ooku to backtrack and figure out who's who. If I had the time, I'd love to create a cheat sheet and post it online for other people to reference.
