If nothing else, it’s probably a good idea to get a brief understanding of what ‘onmyou’ is before reading (related words being onmyouji and onmyoudou). - This was a humongous effort for someone at my (not exactly high) level of Japanese. But I'm enjoying the manga. - Yomi is awesome. ----------------------
