Ludwig Kakumei

[Snow]

Prince Ludwig isn't your conventional prince charming. He is a prince and also a corpse collector. He collects bodies of pretty women. However his father the King isn't very happy about it and orders him to get a wife. So he searches and finds Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty. However things turn out to be rather different from the original story!

Ludwig Revolution (ルードヴィッヒ革命 Rūdovihhi Kakumei?) is a gothic horror shōjo manga by Kaori Yuki. The story tells about Prince Ludwig who is ordered by his father to find himself a wife more suitable (by more suitable, he means not dead) than the women he often brings into the castle. Along with his servant Wilhelm, they travel across the land in search of fair maidens from classic stories in hopes of finding Ludwig a wife.

Yet another screwed up manga found by me through the random search of onemanga.

And surprisingly, it's a great manga. This necrophilia (even if it's only for one chapter) goes around to other countries in search of a bride. On the way, characters from our childhood classics appear, such as Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood.

The best thing is, the stories can also be told like that, albeit more violently. Basically, the stories are based off the actual stories, but differently. The characters act differently, and it's hilarious, yet there's a touch of seriousness in it, for example, Cinderella is a masochistic abuse-loving person who loves the abuse of her stepsisters. The best by far for me is Hansel and Gretel, with Gretel armed with a flamethrower, literally a 'translation' of the story where the witch in the house is burnt in the oven by Gretel, who pushed her in.

So basically, incredible manga, I would recommend it to anyone. So has anyone else read it before?

Nope, but I will now -_-.I already got an assload of unread manga and i'm getting too lazy to read them :/

Snow, why is it that you always seem to get good sounding mangas in your random searches? XD
The guy is pretty good looking (in a weird kind of way), plus I like horror mangas. Especially shojo. The thing is... Kaori Yuki usually writes yaoi. o_o But it doesn't look like this one is yaoi, so I'll give it a shot.

 

[Snow]

Probably just my luck, I guess. I just keep randoming until something gets my interest, most of the time. This one, on the other hand, was the first one that popped out in one of my random spams. So I'm lucky.

It's technically not a horror manga. Think of it as a comedy.

And he writes yaoi? Now that I never knew.

 

[Miku]

Well, comedy is good too.
And yes, she (not he) usually writes yaoi. Examples: Earl Cain, Godchild, Angel Sanctuary. Wikipedia is good for that kind of info. XD I've never actually read a yaoi, and I don't plan to anytime soon. e_e Anyway, I'll probably start reading Ludwig later today.

 

[Wicked]

Wow, that's different. I would consider reading it, how many chapters. I could look myself. loll

I like twisted fairy tales

 

[Snow]

So how is it Miku? Read it yet?

 

[Miku]

Just read chapter 1 and it's kind of... strange. I hate that girl Blanche. Omg. I can't believe she went with her dad. And the prince's dad. O__O
Oh well, onto the next chapter then... XD Hopefully it won't have a character as annoying as Blanche.

 

[Snow]

Yeah, it was fun. Hooray for the Snow White and the... Ehhh... 4 remaining dwarfs.
