Literal Translation: See comments for now
Release name: (Still pending)
Very conflicted about what this is called. Me and Shijima thought it was Aishi wo Tome, but a lot of places online show it as Itoshi. I'll figure it out later.
CURRENT PROGRESS: Chapter 2 is done. 3 is started.
Story Tags:
Yuri, Incest (cousins), Female Rape, Straight Rape (later chapters)
Warning: There are scenes of rape by males and females against the main characters. Please be advised. Because of the importance to the story, these scenes will be left in.
Album online: Itoshi wo Tome (Picasa)
Zip files to come.
Credits:
Translator: TsundereYuriko
Editing to be done by: Beotkkot
Raw provider: Shijima
A BIG thanks to Shijima and Winterbraid of Wings of Yuri!
Another big thanks to Erin of Yurizaki for helping me translate the title! (Which we are still trying to do xD)
I don't know what has happened with my editor. Beottkot has not been replying to any emails. I have really been wanting to show this off, and I'm not an experienced editor, so hopefully this will do for now.
Once Beotkkot finishes the edit, you can read the manga in final release format.

Introduction page 005
Long ago, in Japan, during an age ruled by an emperor,
The Udaijin had a daughter, Tachibana, who was 14 years old.
It was time for Seijinshiki, the commencement of adulthood.
Tachibana would soon attend her Mogi, the age commencement ceremony for girls.
But there was one obstacle.
There was someone she had love for with all her heart, to the point of obsession...

Ta...
Tachibana-sama...
it is an important ceremony to
commemorate adulthood...
So please be more like a princess!
Please sit up straight! It's not very ladylike.
What if the other maids or your father saw you like that...
p2-3 d3
Whatever Sanuki...
Noriko-sama told me that it was always
good to have lots of energy.
p3 box1
Noriko-sama...
She was my father's sister. She was so great, even the emperor of the time tried proposing to her.

She was a very kind and beautiful person.

Please take care of my daughter Sakura, ok?

Oh, the pity!

So... tired...
p2 d3
Huh. I thought Tachibana-sama and Sakura-sama were lovers...
p2 d4
Doesn't look like it.
p3 d5
Then, what was with those love letters?
Was it unrequited love?
p3 d6
Nah, it could have all been a joke!
p4 d7
Yes, Tachibana-sama sent love letters to the Minister of the Left's son, and some others...
She's been sending all those love letters to all those nobles, she seems to like men after all!
p4 d8
Ho ho ho,
there's no way the two girls are lovers!
p5 d9
Hm, she has a point.
p5 d10
Well, Sanuki, you know her the best... I guess you're right.

p2-3 d1
I'm not getting married!
I don't love that idiot at all!
p3 d2
All my love is only for you, Sakura!
p4 d3
But...
p4 d4
The Head of Imperial Records is a very elite noble, isn't he?
Marrying him or any noble's son would bring you so much status...
p5 d5
But me... I'm nothing. You have nothing to gain by being with me...
p5 d6
So that's why...
p5 d7
I am always praying for your happiness from afar...

Why... to do that to your body...
p2 se: あは Haha! (heart)
p2 d2
You'll scar...
p2-3 d3
Oh, not a scar. I'd call it a very special "Mark of Proof"!
p4 d4
Proof that everything I do... is for you, Sakura!

Tachibana-sama...
Then I too,
p1 d2
Will carve your name on my body!

If you tell ANYONE...
you understand, right?
p1-3 d2
Th-that girl...
She's the freeloader, isn't she?
what... why...
are you... lovers?
p3 d3
But... you're both women...
p4 d4
Things like that don't matter.
I love her even still.
p4 d5
If it's for Sakura, I'll destroy anyone in my path.
p5-6 d6
But I don't understand...
How can you go that far?
p6-7 d7
No one has ever shown that kind of love for me...
p7 d8
Why... has no one ever loved me?
What am I missing?
page 64
p1 d1
Um...
I'm sure you'll find someone...
p1 d2
someone you can love, and who will love you back.
p2-3 d3
If you love someone with all your heart,
surely they too will love you back.
It won't just happen. It has to come from your heart first....

Right?

"Whuh", nothing!
The emperor wants Sakura!
p2 d3
Nyougo Jyudai means... he wants to add her to his inner palace harem!
p3 d4
I refuse!
p4 se
Right?
p5 d5
You cannot refuse the emperor!
He has the status of a god.
p5 d6
His word is absolute law.
p5 d7
To go against him means the death penalty!
page 68
p1 d1
D- death!?
p2 d2
Don't think it would apply to just you...
If you refuse the emperor's request,
The death penalty extends to your family as well.
d3
Your father, your brother,
Even the servants of your household...
no one close to you will escape his punishment...
