The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum

Set in late 19th-century Tokyo, the story follows Kikunosuke Onoue, the adopted son of a legendary actor who specializes in female roles. When he discovers that the praise he receives stems only from his status as his father's heir, he is devastated. He finds comfort in Otoku, a servant of his family, and they fall in love. Determined to develop as an actor on his own merits, Kikunosuke decides to leave home, and Otoku faithfully accompanies him.
