Irashaimase, welcome
Ludwig
II by You Higuri, consisting of three volumes, is a fictional manga
detailing the life of the historical Mad King of Bavaria, Ludwig II. It
follows his military life, while it explores obscure subjects of the man's
unstable and tragic life, his conflicts with his family, and his homosexual
love affairs. Serious in nature, this manga is very beautiful, elaborate,
emotional, and like Seimaden, it is simply marvellous. I fell in
love with it from the moment I took the opportunity to read it. To this
day, it is still one of my favourites.
The
deepest reason why I love the manga is because it introduced me to Ludwig
II, whom I instantly took to heart. You's manga brought me closer to him
and the history of his country. Whereupon, in this shrine, I also take
the opportunity to elaborate on my love and admiration to the Bavarian
King, who's drawn me closer to the German country and its Southern region.
With all my heart, rest in peace, beautiful enchanted king...
