I liked it a lot and I also drew an alternative ending (more favorable toward my favourite female character ;) but I fear that manga wasn't a grand success, so I don't believe it has been widely translated (but I don't know for sure). It was a strange mixture of Western and Chinese mythologies: Arthur, survived somehow to the last battle against Mordred, travelled to China and there he met a fox woman... <br /><br />I don't own all the mangas I listed above; some were lent me by friends, others I read in bookstores without buying them (:P)Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15203553617274203523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493507255590869780.post-3899783779960540022010-11-09T14:03:15.614+01:002010-11-09T14:03:15.614+01:00Oh wow O_O.

I have read only a handful, despite the fact that I do like manga and they have rather influenced me.<br /><br /><i>Versailles no Bara<br />Vagabond<br />Chobits<br />Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles<br />XXX-Holic<br />Lone Wolf & Cub<br />Tengu<br />Mushishi</i><br />- these I own.<br /><br />I have read parts of<br /><i>3x3 Eyes<br />Berserk<br />Blade of the Immortal</i><br />- and a few others that I tend to mix up :P.<br /><br />Two manga that I have finished (and enjoyed very much) but do not own are<br /><i>Eagle<br />Stratège</i><br /><br /><i>Berserk</i> is really too violent for me - as is <i>Zetman</i>, which I started buying but then stopped because it became too much (funny enough, I love samourai stories, but not the blood and gore part).<br /><br />If you haven't tried <i>Mushishi</i>, maybe you should. I think you might like it. It's a very poetic manga about a young man who can see mushi and treats people for all sorts of mushi-related illnesses.<br /><br />I should probably give <i>Blade of the Immortal</i> a serious try... As for <i>Pendragon</i>, it doesn't seem to exist in a French translation - or am I wrong?ampersandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992284787639430437noreply@blogger.com
