Story
Set in feudal Japan, a young woman is found with a huge scar on her back and no memory of who she is. She’s given the name "Kaguya" and taken in by a local brothel where she's put in charge of babysitting and housekeeping duties. Hanzou, the head guard of the nearby castle, starts to pursue her and realizes later that they’ve actually met before...and are enemies! (It turns out this young woman is one of Oda Nobunaga's daughters--Princess Sara.)In the second story, Oda Nobunaga sends Sara to infiltrate the ninja town of Iga to steal a secret gunpowder formula. She is to go under the guise of being the prospective bride of Hanzo Hattori, one of the high-ranking ninja leaders of Iga. Sara willingly goes along with the plan because she doesn't realize that she's got her Hanzo(u)s mixed up!

I'm actually quite happy about this prequel. I really like Tail of the Moon and I always enjoyed stories about the second hand people in mangas. I always wondered about them.

I didn't really read Tail of the Moon while it was serialized, so the story is new to me. However, the prequel in the latest issue was really good! I really liked it, so I think I ought to go back and read Tail of the Moon again.

This was alright, but not as good as the original Tail of the Moon series.

I really liked tail of the moon, so when I heard there was going to be a prequel, I was tempted to buy it lol
But this was a good manga...can't wait for her new series to come out in April (?)
