Hello, I was just wondering if you were going to update this book soon it’s been over a month. I really enjoy your book, but I would like to see the characters more often than a chapter a month or every three months please update the book
A brief fairytale-like story, the kind you regret has no movie adaptation (I can totally envision this as a Ghibli film). Likely one of the earliest shoujo ai works, and due to its length, the pacing feels a bit off with a lot unfolding in just 140 pages. To be honest, it does seem somewhat confusing initially, given how rapidly events unfold. Nevertheless, the artwork is utterly captivating, infusing the narrative with many fantastical elements and transporting you to another realm. It's remarkable how the manga makes you sense that there are supernatural forces at play when, in reality, nothing out of the ordinary occurs.
<p>Maya’s Funeral Procession'' is a captivating early 1970s Shoujo drama that conveys its intense narrative through striking and stark visuals. This manga played a pivotal role in establishing and solidifying early Yuri tropes, yet it offers much more as a concise and fast-paced melodrama beyond its historical significance. Despite its brevity, the manga skillfully employs symbolism and foreshadowing, and uniquely within the Shoujo genre, excels at showing rather than telling when it comes to characterization. While I would have liked this manga to have more space to delve deeper into its characters and their motivations, as well as allow dramatic events to unfold more slowly for greater emotional impact, it remains a must-read for enthusiasts of early Yuri and Shoujo works.</p>
First of all, I must say that I'm not a fan of yuri or shoujo ai. This is the first manga in this genre that I've ever read, and I don't regret it at all.
The main drawback of this manga, unfortunately, was the art. That said, it's understandable given that it was published in 1972.
To sum up: What I appreciated most about this manga were the emotions—sadness, anger, love, fear. The character I found most compelling is Maya. Her personality resonated with me, and I admired her way of thinking.
The psychological depth of the manga is well-executed. The characters reflect on life itself, their purpose, happiness, and even death.
I typically don't condone revenge, but I can empathize with the intense hatred that makes it a driving force for living.
The manga has a dark atmosphere, which I enjoyed. While the drama might be somewhat exaggerated, I appreciate stories where emotions run high.
Overall, this manga isn't essential reading, but I found it enjoyable. It serves as a solid example of a psychological tale centered on revenge, sadness, and love.
It's an intriguing shoujo ai manga featuring Reina, a wealthy young woman who retreats to a random summer villa. Her parents, seemingly indifferent, are arranging her marriage to a childhood friend she doesn't love. There, she encounters Maya, a mysterious and beautiful woman clad in a black long-sleeved garment. As they grow closer and uncover more about each other, the story unfolds with unexpected twists that go beyond a simple love narrative.
Wow, there's so much more to this tale than just romance! If you're into mysterious, horror, or GL themes, this classic short manga is definitely worth checking out!
