This manga is like a snapshot into the life of Kiyoha. She was a high ranking courtesan in the brothel. You get snippets of the people around her, but similar to real life, once she stops speaking to them, we rarely hear of them. The most we'll get is gossip about when something bad happens to them. That's the strength and weakness of Sakuran. It leaves things feeling incomplete. There's not a lot of closure about what happens to certain characters. Though it does wrap up the main character's story. I do think it's a good story.A good snapshot into the lives of the women who worked in brothel's. A solid 7/10.
