The Rose of Amamizukan?


Moving right along, here's chapter 23 of Kuragehime. It's funny to think there's only one chapter left in volume 4, and then it's off to volume 5. Despite already having entered into manga-only territory, some of the material from this chapter is featured in episode 10 of the anime. The chapter title comes from the famous manga series The Rose of Versailles, which similar to the last chapter's reference also features cross-dressing prominently in the plot.

Last time, "teh" suggested we put these chapter reference notes on an extra page in our releases. The reason we don't do this is mainly for stylistic reasons. For one, knowing where these titles come from isn't important in understanding the manga series itself. When we started serialization and realized the chapter titles were referencing other media, we thought it would be an interesting addition to the blog posts to list them as we released the chapters. Besides, the majority of them are either obvious, or can be easily looked up, though the titles referencing Japanese media are more obscure.

  11. Posting the references of the titles on this page is what keeps me coming back instead of just reading the chapters from mangafox. It's really interesting and adds a personal touch. Thanks for the Kuragehime releases :D
