Baptiste has passed
Covered in life-giving flowers
Rather than the deathly ones in his home
Like Charles
He was both executioner and doctor
He saved a boy from certain death with a risky operation
And deep down saw human dignity
Volume 4: The Enraged Ones/Enrages

Marie again, now splattered with more blood
Sakamoto's lines are simple but on point
People have talents but also excuses
Like the society in Innocent, everyone does not want to confront their insecurities so they impose on others
Stop making excuses for your ego

Marie looks gorgeous in this cover
The blue flowers and lipstick
I feel poison
The blood splatter starting from her head, seeping downward is cool
So now we see Sakamoto's motivation to draw the Innocent series

The script here is important
How we are all born, thrown into a chaotic world
We must embrace our karma
To shape the future
This is the Crimson Purity of the French Revolution
Marie's Innocent Rouge
Chapter 1: Blood-Stained Innocence

Top 4
Cast, chapters, moments/art
Characters
Charles and Marie are peak
Strong opposing developments that lead us to a powerful synthesis of building hope in children
But we also have
Damiens and Alain
One-time influences to each
Yet both are
Authenticity
Justice

Finished Innocent
This was quite a tough yet powerful ride
Strong 10/10
One of the most systematic, realistic yet difficult depictions of historical and societal injustice with a compelling dialectic
Society's thesis
Individualism's antithesis
Purity's synthesis

The Rouge Revolution begins!
Marie will make the impossible possible
This time
It will not just be for her
Charles and Marie
On different paths
To altering the fate of the Sansons
The fate of France
And the entire world as we know it
The end?
It has begun anew

Nice
Another author of a French Revolution-inspired story comments on Sakamoto's beautiful art and work for this arc
Maybe the 70s manga Rose of Versailles inspired Innocent given its progressive views on sexuality
-
Marie-Antoinette as "purity"
How will that go
