Neji To Lantern

the very first manga by asuka katsura, who's worked on the le portrait de petit cossette manga and blood+. bolt and lantern is an original oneshot set in 19th century england. coco is a young girl who, due to the recent deaths of both her parents, has inherited the aristocratic title of “marquise” and the expectations that go along with it. a new tutor named nidell is brought in to teach coco all the languages that nobility are required to be fluent in, and quickly finds himself facing a past he's tried to hide and becoming more like a father-figure to coco than a tutor. bolt and lantern's art is both cute and detailed at the same time, and is a must read for any fan of 19th century clothing! or cute little girls and dashing young men. and a pretty, big-boobed maid later on, as well as an arrogant little boy. fun ensues!
