To be honest, the real story of Eon whatshisname/whatshername sounds much more interesting than this manga volume was. The bad French and (what language is the word 'psalms'?) spelling was really annoying too. If you're going to write a book set in France, it's not enough to learn the history, you need to have a dictionary handy. And, seriously, misspelling your title character's name? Not sure if Ubukata or Yumeji is the responsible party on the spelling. This much-anticipated quasi-historical fantasy turned out to be VERY disappointing. I could tolerate the loose interpretation of French history, places, and personages - having seen some of the anime (which I love), I was already used to it. But a large part of the appeal of manga is the visual. Sadly, I found the artwork wanting. The drawing is heavy-handed. The costumes are unrealistic for the time period (the policemen seem plucked from the late 19th or early 20th century, and one female character is prancing around in a minidress and platform boots!). Many of the characters have a glassy-eyed look. The story itself isn't a bad idea: A mysterious group is murdering young women in Paris. Bumbling policeman D'Eon de Beaumont has secretly been assigned by the king to find out the truth and stop a 'revolution'. With his trusty child-assistant Robin, and the vengeful spirit of his murdered sister Lia (whose personality he dons with a quasi-biblical incantation and a flowing blonde wig), D'Eon must solve the mystery before another innocent victim dies. Two stars might be generous. It is an interesting story idea, and I do like the historical period covered. But this is one case where I would suggest sticking with the anime. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
