EPISODE REVIEWS

Here we get to see Genji desperately try to hold on to Lady Rokujo despite her trying to cut ties off with him. It is an incredibly emotional episode as the atmosphere of the episode mirrors the absolute heartbreak and slow unravelling of their relationship.

This chapter takes a purely emotional approach, focusing on the deep sadness Prince Genji feels over the recent tragedy, as reflected in his dreams and state of mind.

This episode delivers one of the most emotional and mature parting moments in the series. The elegantly written dialogue successfully conveys a sense of loss, resignation, and a love that has grown cold, all without the need for an explosive confrontation.
