In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Rachel the Shoujo Scholar review episodes four through six of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode four, you can tell by the tone of our Floats Your Boat that this episode was going to hurt us deeply. Waka Murasaki meets a terrible fate, forcing Giana to hate Gyokuei with no hope for redemption. Rachel points out the interesting role reversal between Arikoto and Iemitsu. In episode five, Arikoto provides the ultimate fan service for bi individuals everywhere. Chika makes an interesting connection between Arikoto’s switch in devotion from Buddha to Iemitsu with cults. The question is raised: Why hasn’t Iemitsu simply killed Kasuga? Iemitsu’s painful past stirs up empathy for her. In episode six, Kasuga’s state of health brightens everyone’s spirits. Sutezo’s arrival shakes things up for Arikoto and Iemitsu.

The Zequel ft. Colleen's Manga Recs (Ooku: The Inner Chambers Eps 1-3)
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Colleen of Colleen’s Manga Recs review episodes one through three of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode one, Mizuno’s story is a mesmerizing one to follow. Yoshimune’s approach as Shogun is praised. The darkness woven throughout the Ooku is both intriguing and disturbing. In episode two, we meet the sweet and responsible Arikoto, whose life is forever changed upon “visiting” the Ooku. We also meet Lady Kasuga, who makes a permanent home in Hot Fudge after forcing Arikoto to stay at the Ooku by literally any means possible. In episode three, we learn more about Iemistu and Arikoto’s life at the Ooku. Iemitsu’s gift of a white cat to Arikoto at the end of the episode stirs up some both serious and extremely unserious Sprinkles on Top. Gyokuei’s character is lightly analyzed and Kasuga is roasted yet again.
