Shoujo of the day: Claudine...! -- Ikedo Ryoko

The almost unrelentingly tragic tale of well-born, gorgeous French transman Claude (born Claudine) and the girls he loves and loses, as well as the one who faithfully loves him.
As narrated by the doctor who confirmed Claude was trans. Lots of drama, secrets, heartbreak, and beautiful art, as can be expected of a work by the wonderful Ikeda.




Claudine is so good! And actually really progressive for when it was written, I was pleasantly surprised. All the melodrama is fantastic and I love it.
Oh man, I love Ikeda - Rose of Versailles is basically my favourite manga ever. It's years since I read Claudine, but I remember it being pretty heartbreaking. :(
Oh man, I remember this one. Probably my second favorite manga by Ikeda right after Oniisama E..., I think.
Oh my gosh, I was not aware of this shoujo! It is riiiihgt in my alley as I've brought back home The Rose of Versaille from the public library yesterday and can't wait to read it.
