Ask about the monsters of Zipangu, and you are likely to hear of ladies who are greatly devoted to humans. This does not seem to inhibit their ability to acquire men, though; their sensual charms are such that men lay hands on them of their own will. Nowhere is their monstrous talent more evident than in their widespread pleasure dens, known as "yukaku" in the tongue of Zipangu. Yukaku are districts where monsters display their devotion not just as fine partners, but as ladies of the night who delight their clientele. The close relationship between humans and monsters allows such establishments to be operated openly on a large scale - to the extent that there exist whole towns that are yukaku.

However, monsters do not work as harlots for money or for sustenance, but purely to obtain a man. When they find one they like, they cease to accept any other customers and, in the blink of an eye, marry him and leave the yukaku - or recede behind the scenes. This often occurs with the very first customer. However, because the yukaku offers many opportunities for monsters to meet- and moreover - be actively approached by men, the influx of new recruits feeds the rapid turnover quite well.

Some yukaku become dark mamono realms. The sakura, a unique flower of Zipangu usually said to bloom only in spring, blooms all year round in these realms so that the hazy light of mana seeping from each of the yukaku's chambers illuminates a flurry of fluttering petals, thus producing a mystic atmosphere that brings out the monsters' bewitchment. Men seduced by their charms receive a night-or even a lifetime- that is just as fantastic. Large yukaku and cities often have facilities such as hot spring resorts where both unmarried men and married couples happily throng.
