so tragic and wonderful
Oct. 15/2005
Have you ever heard about Bavaria's MÄRCHENKÖNIG LudwigII? Higuri creates her own story based on his life. So lovingly detailed and full of spirit! Ludwig's life was so tragic, encaged like a bird by morals and the society but also by his own guilty conscience concerning his way of life. Read these comics! You'll be fascinated and will suffer with the king!
Highly recommended!
Historical Love Beautifully Resurected

I was always infatuated with the figure of Ludwig II, so much so that I made a pilgrimage to Bavaria to follow the footsteps of his life. So when I found out there was a manga made of his life I leapt on it. This was my introduction to Higuri Yuu and what an introduction!
Fans of this mangaka will not need telling how amazing the art is, how expressive and detailed and stylish it is. For this manga she also did her research well. The clothes and historical events are well executed with a dash of fantasy thrown in to add to the drama and through it all runs the tragic and breath taking love afair between the king and his servant... nothing can gub your heart like a true love story of this magnitude.
I dare you not to shed a torrent of tears when you read this - it is the most touching story in history beautifully retold.
The best one from Yuu Higuri

The story around the bavarian king Ludwig II is one of Yuu Higuris best works.
Never was german history told in such an unusal way. But I woul never mind it to buy this one.
It's a really great work and especially for german fans more than interesting ^.^
