RoseMary's manga / #Historical(515)

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!

"The second Shounen Ai manga ever published" (1971) // Collection of Stories // 1 Volume (Complete) - Dropped... Title story's alternate story: Thomas no Shinzou

Thomas no Shinzou (1974) - It was so beautifully written, so deep and full of all kinds of emotions. It's really a masterpiece! An essential, must-read classic! > I also want to recommend the film "Les amitiés particulières" (based on the homonymous novel by Roger Peyrefitte), which, together with some great literary works, also inspired Hagio Moto to write Thomas no Shinzou. The live-action "Summer Vacation 1999" (1988) is loosely based on Thomas no Shinzou - Note: A female cast was used to play the boys in the film, which is also very different from the original story anyway. Prequel: Houmonsha (The title story, about the earlier life of Oscar) Alternate Story: 11-gatsu no Gymnasium

The manga is already complete (1 volume), but it's dropped, I guess... • Ch 1-2 Raphael - Vampire x Human // Victorian Era // France I kinda liked it and the art is ok, but the story is not well developed and especially the second part reminds me too much of Anne Rice's works, which clearly were this author's source of inspiration...
