The only ones I've read and can remember is Mede Shireru Yoru no Junjou and Gintama (that are totally opposites, btw) and I really like the Japan from that era. So I don't care if it's yaoi, shoujo, shounen, seinen, josei, comedy, drama or whatever genre, I'd only like the story to be from around the Edo period. Thank you already ^-^

Sakuran Sonezaki Shinjuu Oedo wa Nemuranai!:a bit 'eh' IMO, it has an interesting premise, but written poorly. But maybe you'll like it. I think you better read this when you're bored/ has nothing to do. Mademoiselle Butterfly Hira Hira Mugen Utamaro: adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray, set in Yoshiwara. Worth a read. Also, there's Edo Period categories: http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Edo+Period& orderby=rating Last edited by p3pelepe at 3:23 pm, Oct 10
