Samples from Marie Antoinette: La Jeunesse d'une Reine by Fuyumi Soryo

Marie Antoinette: La Jeunesse d’une Reine by Fuyumi Soryo is a new manga published by Kodansha and created with the collaboration of the Chateau de Versailles. The manga will tell the story of Marie Antoinette and features exquisite drawings and historical detail. The French edition of this manga volume will be released in the fall.

Glenat has uploaded some amazing sample panels of the comic. I've posted a select few on this blog, and the rest can be viewed here. 

No word yet on whether the comic will be getting an English translation, but here's to hoping!

Back from hiatus!

So, I technically never announced that I was taking a hiatus, but a short break in July  turned into a few months of silence--at least on this blog! It's been a truly distracting summer and while things haven't exactly calmed down for me, I'd like to get back into the swing of things here at Reading Treasure. Coming up next week will be a review of John Hardman's new biography of Louis XVI, followed shortly after by a review of Elena Maria Vidal's next book. I'm also excited for October to continue last year's tradition of "spooky" posts for the Halloween season.
