清少納言と申します

In a whimsical reimagining of Heian-era Japan, we meet Nagiko, a woman with extraordinary beauty and an even more extraordinary secret—she's actually a man. Known later as Sei Shōnagon, the famous author of "The Pillow Book," Nagiko navigates the complex and elegant world of the imperial court with wit, charm, and a touch of mischief. Her marriage to the stoic Toshimitsu is fraught with comedic and poignant moments as she keeps her true identity hidden, all while influencing the culture around her with her unique perspectives. As Nagiko becomes entwined in court politics, rivalries, and love, this manga blends historical fiction with modern humor, offering a fresh take on one of Japan's most celebrated literary figures.
