RoseMary's manga / #Classic/Tale(46)

Manhwa || Androgynous Protagonist || Angst || Based on a Classic || Middle Eastern || Possessive Lover || Story within Story || Tragic Past || Royalty "The human drama that unfolds by day is only the tip of the iceberg...at night, there are yet more stories to be told" I really like historical manga, especially the ones based on classics, so this one was really good for me. With the twist of Scheherazade being actually a boy, it was even better! One of the best BL manhwa out there!

Collection of stories based on fairytale/folklore: • Ch 1 Cinderella • Ch 2 Little Red Riding Hood • Ch 3 The Little Mermaid • Ch 4 Beauty and the Beast • Ch 5 The Bamboo Princess • Ch 6 Carmen I love stories based on classics, especially when they are so unique like this one, twisted and at times dark and tragic, but brilliant. Taking classic works and revisite them in a cool, witty way...I don't think that's so easy! Overall, the result was very good! After all, it's a story by Est Em: one immediately perceives sensei's unique and original touch! Obviously, all characters were male, but apart from that, each story was remarkable, enriched with interesting details and plot twists! And I think sensei's atypical art style gave the right athmosphere for these stories!

Historical // Showa Era // Poetic // Based on a classic Based on the classic "Under the Cherry Trees" by Motojirou Kajii (early 1900s). Two full color pages, created by Miyamoto Kano, which emphasize the poetic concept of what lies behind the beauty of cherry blossoms. A japanese saying that I have heard many times indeed and that I encountered in other stories: "Cherry blossoms are so beautiful because there are dead bodies buried underneath the trees" Very short tribute by Miyamoto-sensei, but so beautiful!
