Fake, you say? Fabulous! God love you, Anne - I'm very much wandering around unfamiliar shores without a map, and there's so freaking MUCH of it, and one can't actually open the books because they're all sealed with plastic - or, well, one can, but you're supposed to take them to the counter for the staff to unseal, and I couldn't not buy something after that - so I'm sort of lost. I bought what I thought was a Vampire Hunter D manga, thinking it sounded promising, and it turned out to be a bloody novel, to my annoyance. I mean, it might be a very good novel, but I thought I was getting manga. Damn it.
Fake. Cool.
And, hell yes, check out Eroica, for it is the shiniest, most swashbuckling thing - think Velvet Goldmine crossed with James Bond and The Scarlet Pimpernel, with more than a dash of The Man from UNCLE. Klaus/Dorian - they're just unspeakably adorable. And grownups. And together they fight the KGB and do crime, while bickering like mad.
(I've been hoping that the writer has other books out, because I do love the artwork and the stories both - but so far no joy.)
eta some links to pictures, and the information that she's written quite a lot of rather lovely looking things, generally of a swashbuckling historical nature. But they're not translated into English.
blows nose.
