☚୧୨☛ Matsuo Marta's masterpiece - A must-read, unique quirky BL!
It's comical in an odd way and, in contrast, underneath it lies a bittersweet realism, but at the same time it's cool and captivating! Somehow, the characters are charismatic in their own way and complement each other so well, despite that sort of swinging/intermittent relationship, with moments where they were not aligned, and their not-so-honest face-to-face confrontations. Btw, that was a very interesting dynamic! Anyway, it's

A really nice story! Such a pleasant reading! I enjoyed both anime and manga. For those like me who like historical stories and, you know, to watch period drama and such, in particular a victorian-era romance like this, I totally recommend it! Personally, I really liked the whole atmosphere / setting of the story and the cast of characters! And, above all, I really appreciated the author's care for details: one can see the efforts she put into research!

I can't express how obsessed I am w/ this gem...it totally captivated me! I like stories w/ this kind of setting, so that's what caught my interest at 1st. But then the characters are what pulled me in right away! I'm crazy for the intriguing, alluring duo of Sherlock and his nemesis William (Sherliam <3)! That's because I love when there're 2 equally-interesting opposing figures (w/ 1 being a cool anti-hero), who are enemies, but they could have a deep understanding and share a special bond!
The beginning is so promising and captivating! I think this author's stories are truly interesting and pretty unique! Certainly, Witch of Thistle Castle caught my attention and I'm looking forward to read more!

«✿()✿» THE SHOUJO MANGA! The one and only! For those like me who are fond of classic manga, especially classic shoujo, this is the first one I recommend, an essential must-read, a timeless masterpiece! So much love for this story! Too bad that vol. 50 has been postponed indefinitely! ╥﹏╥
> I really hope sensei would give us the ending already! Apart from the final decision for the Crimson Goddess, I really want to see Masumi finally facing Maya as the Purple Rose, and to see them both finally

A masterpiece! I think the anime movie is visually stunning and great to watch, but the manga is all to be discovered! There're also a lot more info and details, also about the characters' past and their relationships with each other and with the events happening along the story, so I recommend to read it to immerse yourself to the fullest into this unique story!
