Him: “It’s refreshing that Murasaki Shikibu becomes Taiga.”
She says, “It’s hard to get bored with the extramarital romance, the gorgeous Heian period picture scrolls, and the suffocating political strife.”
He said, “It’s so cute that Michinaga, the most powerful man, takes Shikibu’s manuscript like an editor, and I love it.”
She said, “Professor, if you drop the next manuscript, Emperor Ichijo will not come with his daughter.”
He said, “The relationship between Shikibu, Michinaga, and Emperor Ichijo is probably a rare case where the story is deeply connected to politics.”
She: “And it’s an easy-to-understand wet novel.”
Him: “Sure.”
She said, “Well, in the future, the Japanese will turn into a HENTAI race that can masturbate through novels and manga.”
He said, “It makes me cringe to think that all the Heian aristocrats and ladies-in-waiting read The Tale of Genji and masturbated.”
