Moto Fuuzokujou ga Kanemochizuma ni narimashita

A manga version of the popular novel based on the real life experiences of author Oka Hoa who is a former sex worker. The story follows Hoa as she runs away from an abusive home life and lives on the streets until she ends up working at a brothel.

It’s pretty rough reading about the author’s awful past but fortunately they focus a lot on the positive aspects being a sex worker had on her life. She was able to connect with customers and it helped her become very successful. I’m glad they didn’t shy away from the shady business of the Japanese brothel industry and knowing this will have a happy ending makes it easier to digest. I’m interested to read more.
