I personally think that Riyoko Ikeda is one of the best manga
writers ever. Her masterpiece, Versailles no Bara was the
responsible of my interest in manga; it's still one of my
favourites. Orpheus no Mado is a more mature work, as far
as the long and complicated plot is concerned. Personal opinions
apart, it is not inferior to Versailles no Bara. The
drawings are simply perfect in both the works. The plot of
Orpheus no Mado is long but perfectly developed, the
characters' psychology is described very well, only the genius of
Ikeda sensei could do such an excellent job!
I decided to create a website about Orpheus no Mado
because I realized that it is not as popular as it deserves.
Being the owner of the approved Orpheus no Mado Fanlisting I often receive emails
asking me for info about the manga. So I have been thinking of
creating a fan site with all the info I could find for a very
long time. Anyway, I am already very busy keeping and updating
several websites and I made up my mind only when my friend
Cecilia suggested me that we can make a website together.
She is very smart and good at writing reviews, and I am very
proud to have her synopses and reviews here. Dear visitors, I
hope you'll enjoy it here and leave feedback! :)
