Out of curiosity, how accurate are the events/characters of Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji to... certain other possibly well-known figures? And any chance of a direct sequel that goes into... more detail?
Mod Aratani: The characters of Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji are purely fictional. Any resemblance to persons, puppets, or pets, dead or alive, is purely coincidental.
Yes, yes, alright. Shoo.

Dearest anon, I assume you're referring to the light novel and not the various unofficial fanworks.
The anonymous author tells me there are plans for many sequels, but she's still waiting for a... certain reader's reaction to the first book.
Although the "Raiden Shogun" and "Yae Masako" characters are purely fictional, behind every story there is a grain of truth. For instance, much of the Raiden Shogun's motivations and innermost thoughts are based on careful study of the real thing. With artistic interpretation, of course. (This version of Raiden Shogun is much more self aware about the most important things in her life.)
Yae Masako is supposedly based on a number of real life kitsune youkai — perhaps even myself (!?). I, personally, cannot imagine myself going all the way over to Ritou to buy someone cold medicine when I have shrine maidens and sub editors for that. But it's a romantic notion.
Feel free to ask more questions about Pretty Please, little one. I love discussing that novel.
