im so scared on the last part... i thought gerard would end up dead graaaaaaaaa, why do this to me autor-san, anyways this is def gonna go to my fav section
Hooray comment section is back! I have so so so many thoughts on this manga and all of them are good. This is wildly underrated and an instant classic imo. It has such a subdued, literary quality to it, and was honestly quite a sensitive work. It didn’t shy away from Gerard’s uglier behaviors while also showing like how kind he was—a really flawed character who I loved reading about. Jacques was a pleasure, too, but I really found myself most drawn to Gerard’s backstory. That was so well written and sad!
As I read this, I genuinely had no idea where it was going. However, each act fed into the next, and despite the twists and turns, it flowed very well. A twisted love dodecahedron, to be sure, but it all serves to highlight the leads' affection and dedication in the end. There are some strange ideas in here, but they feel accurate to the time period. I really enjoyed this.
This author never disappoints. It may have a touch of yaoi logic, ofcourse, but it's nothing compared to the nonsense you have today. Rape is called rape, and VD was even brought up. The whole "uke and seme" roles aren't there, or at least not to the extent you have nowadays... and it has a plot, a plot in yaoi wow. Okay it may not be the most historically accurate, it is fiction at the end of the day, but it has the right amount of tension, backstories and criticism of class structures to make it a pleasing read for a french revoloution manga. To think a yaoi discussing philosophers and literacy greats... plus the infamous marquis de sod whose "Justine" mirrors the libertine wife, who at the very least was free and equal even if she was selfish.
