[Eressea · Rating 4 out of 5]

漫畫改編也是充滿：
三十六歌仙，和漢朗詠集，白居易詩，天台真言儀軌
感覺這些就是平安文學的背景音樂了~

匂之宮跟薰大將搶女人的理由也太孩子氣
把本來過得好好的千金搞得人生GG
從這角度來看，到了最後一集仍舊渣男充斥
就連律己甚嚴的薰大將，情不自禁時仍然要用強
雖然是以今非古，不過這些平安貴族男人就沒點正常人嗎= =
還是我該去找本介紹平安貴族的書來看??

另外看物語文學不懂的是出家心態
不看漫畫的話，就不知道當時女性出家不用剃光頭
只需要剪到及肩即可
源氏物語和平家物語的上帝視角都說出家是很大的願心
放棄俗世專心清修很不容易
就像現代台灣意義的出家那樣
但我看來看去，都覺得這些人物出家的理由都很任性
突然覺得好厭世，乾脆出家吧，難道是漫畫簡省的關係嗎?
(但平家物語我是看原著啊)
而且除了八之宮躲在荒郊野外之外
出家人跟在俗人的差別，好像就只差披上僧袍和落髮而已了
八之宮還是俗聖呢，反而比那些XX尼OO入道出世得多啊?

稍微翻了點林文月翻譯的原著
漫畫看來少了不少東西
可是充滿渣男的作品不知道看不看得下去?
