Let's hear it (or not hear it) for the reason female readers are still reading the series!
This has to be one of the more controversial relationships in the series, because of how it directly interferes with Musashi's journey. Lucky for him, Otsu's apparently realized the folly of her own goal. And since Inoue often strays from the novel's interpretation of Musashi, I'm wondering what role she'll play in the future, as the story would only get stranger if he pursued it...
What did everyone else take away from her seeing Musashi in Kyoto following he and Denshichiro's duel? Think she's hanging up her hat for now? What's going to become of the childhood couple?
