Here’s a detail from A Bride’s Story cover art for vol 11 - i didnt notice the care and detail in the background paintings until i saw them like this: https://t.co/CGS2BgZON6
Random Japan sighting: really pretty guy on a billboard. Anyone know who this is (“model: jin”?) and what this is advertising? #tokyo #roppongi it looked like something straight out of that True Beauty series on @webtoonofficial
@joseethefirst Innocent is 9 volumes. innocent Rouge is 12 volumes. @DarkHorseComics will need to clarify how (and when) they’ll release the english version. Questions like “single or multi-volume omnibuses?,” “softcover/hardcover?” & “does this include innocent rouge?” are out there…
Set in the same era of pre-revolution France as Rose of Versailles, Innocent’s lavish illustrations weaves a tale of siblings fr. a family of executioners. The elder brother is compassionate & conflicted about his career. The sister is rebellious & into carrying on the family biz
It’s one of those “why isn’t this in English yet?” #manga masterworks, so Innocent by Shin’ichi Sakamoto getting picked up by @DarkHorseComics is big #AnimeNYC2022 news indeed. Originally published in Shueisha’s Young Jump 2013-15, it’s already out in French & German…
While not as extensive as the toys and merch exhibit at the Sailor Moon show, there were some cool Rose of Versailles vintage goodies on display at the Tokyo City View show. https://t.co/Z5uYQod1PZ
Also, here’s an official photo of the Lady Oscar dress on display at the Rose of Versailles 50th anniversary exhibit, created by Bunka Fashion College students. The attention to detail to recreate this #manga illustration was great to see in person https://t.co/c7Dxl7nx9J
No photos allowed of the Rose of Versailles #manga pages at this exhibit, but it was an astounding, beautifully preserved and presented collection of all the key moments from this epic historical drama, plus a gorgeous reproduction of Oscar’s gown https://t.co/Z5uYQovb47
Another fun part of manga-themed art exhibits in Japan are the themed menus in the museum cafe. The line was long & I had other places to go, so i skipped this, but maybe you’ll enjoy it on your visit to Sailor Moon Museum in Roppongi https://t.co/7KzKZLQA8I #manga #japantravel
Then there’s “Kenshiro,” @Kaiju_Sommelier´s suggestion for my fightin’ tabby kitty’s name, with the option for “Ken-chan” when he’s being cute.
