Chrysalis

cute story about a butterfly photographer and his guide in costa rica. as usual from fusanosuke, this is a highly produced manga with beautiful artwork. but the story was confusing and i cant say i even understood it in the end.

Ryoshuu Reijin

Complete | mizukami shin | 2000 released

According to this site, this manga was released in 2000. That would make it a little more OG than hyakujitsu no bara, which has a similar plot. This story is about a prisoner of war who gets special treatment from an officer. Eventually, the officer becomes obsessed and completely delusional and falls in love. Later, the prisoner also falls in love, and it seems like they have moved from a crazy delusional love to the real thing. Maiden rose explores similar themes but has a couple more volumes to do it in. This story was very similar and i think it is valuable to look at it an compare it to newer iterations (such as maiden rose).
