I have read Japanese version, published English version, and this Mangago version. I'm a Japanese living in U.S. Since I studied both languages at college, I must compliment how much work the translator went through to translate. What you did was art. Your version has so much meat into the story, and your rich vocabulary creates sublime atmosphere. Together with Inariya-sennsei's artwork, it's mesmerizing to read the story. People say "lost in translation", but you definitely added unspoken ambivalence to protagonists. This version is already an art. Thank you for your good job!
among the very first yaoi i have come to love and counted to be one of the best of the best, the story, the plot, and the drawing . .but then it tear me waiting in vain for the update . . .wish they keep on continuing this series (>v<)
Hyakujitsu no Bara, aka Maiden Rose, is a beautiful manga and in my opinion, very underrated. My favorite thing about this manga is how realistically it handled rape, in comparison to the vast majority of yaoi manga. For one, Klaus didn't just rape Taki for no apparent reason. It's still rape, yes, but at least it's related and decently important to the plot. For two, Taki is genuinely scared of Klaus afterward and Klaus is horrified with what he's done to Taki and spends all of this time trying to fix what he's broke. It does take some time, but Taki slowly begins to trust Klaus again. Most yaoi manga just have the uke getting back with the seme immediately after they're raped by them, or even straight up falling in love right after they're raped. This manga, Maiden Rose, handled it correctly and executed stuff so well that I'm proud to say it's one of my favorites. Definitely give it a read!
Two soldiers from warring countries are bound by a pledge as master and servant. Taki Reizen is a Commander of sublime beauty, shouldering the fate of his nation. Called Mad Dog because of his rough temperament, Klaus has sworn his loyalty to him as a knight. Despite this, those around them are cold and disapproving, full of various misgivings. For all their genuine feelings, what will come of love made cruel by the violence of war?
Interesting plot and pretty good. Definitely a complicated relationship and the rape is wack af. But I also really like their relationship too I just don’t get why he keeps assaulting taki constantly it’s weird..
