Ōoku: The Inner Chambers

大奥

In Edo period Japan, a strange disease called the Redface Pox begins to prey on the country's men. Within eighty years of the first outbreak, the male population has fallen by seventy-five percent. Women have taken on all the roles traditionally granted to men, even that of the shogun.

The men, precious providers of life, are carefully protected. The most beautiful of them are sent to serve in the shogun's Inner Chambers, where they live isolated from the outside world and are expected to dedicate themselves entirely to the shogun's needs.

Inside the Inner Chambers, these men navigate a world of strict hierarchy, political intrigue, and personal ambition. Their lives are shaped by the constant tension between duty, desire, and the fragile power they hold in a society that values them above all else.
