One character is ostracised because she doesn't look Japanese. Then the mangaka probably just intertwined two cultures in one which still validates the Historical genre. I might be wrong though, since I haven't read the series myself. (Not really interested either.) ________________ source: animenewsnetwork Join SRoMU Scanlations or visit #SRoMU at IRCHighWay.
