Intro
Regensburg, Germany, 1903.
Talented male students attend the catholic S. Sebastian music
institute. There's a legend about one of the tower's windows,
called 'the window of Orpheus'. It is said that every student who
sees a woman from that window will desperately fall in love with
her, and their love will end tragically, as it happened to
Orpheus and Eurydice in the famous Greek myth.
Klaus and Isaac, two of the best students of the S.Sebastian
Institute, both see Julius from the window of Orpheus. There is
no need to take it serious: the legend talks about a woman while
in the institute there are only men... Moreover, nobody knows
what would happen if two men saw the same woman!
This is just the beginning of the story. Whether the legend is
true or not, Julius', Klaus' and Isaac's lives will get tangled
to each other until the end.
You will meet many characters in this long and complicated story,
and all of them have their own importance for the events'
development. From Germany, you'll follow Klaus and Julius even to
Russia during the revolution... It's impossible to describe in
details the perfectly planned plot of this great manga, so we
hope that after visiting this site, reading the synopses and
watching some beautiful galleries, you'll understand that Orpheus
no Mado is a must–read for everyone who loves high–quality shoujo
manga. Definitely, another masterpiece by the author of the
inimitable 'Versailles no Bara'.
