Ah.. Julius, it's only you

doodle as i re-read the manga (:

[bixletmen]

there is this page from orumado i think it’s funniest shit riyoko ikeda ever made, it was something like this:

julius: david… i like you

david: it doesn’t matter. i know well your heart belongs to another. hearing you say that, i almost wish it is true. but it doesn’t matter, julius

meanwhile

isaak: i cannot compete. she has eyes only for you.. that's why i find it irritating! you make me angry! why do you refuse to accept her feelings? if it wasn’t for you i would have confessed my feelings to Julius long ago! i… i…

Marabelle Macaulay and her gorgeous hair from Ikeda Riyoko’s Collage (コラージュ, 1978), side story to Orpheus no Mado.

This manga was published in Seventeen in two parts (May and June 1978). It's about Wolfgang von Emmerich, the creepy kid, coincidentally meeting his sister Marabelle years later, and, uh, falling in love with her and starting an incestous train wreck that'd last for three generations.

Sure, Orumado also had its COINCIDENCES and FATE moments, but the amount of COINCIDENCES and convenient truths coming to light in this 125-page side story were too much for my taste. The entire thing feels like a soap opera, but with gorgeous art.

Oh Wolfie, don't look at me like that.

Apparently, this manga was included at the end of some Claudine editions, in an edition of her collected works (Shiroi Egmont one), and is also available as an e-book. ~~Don't look at me like I read it from the French scans...~~
