Synopsis

Every year, Lord Nicola A. Bradherley, one of Europe's leading aristocrats, sends his coach round to various orphanages to adopt little girls and trains them to join his opera troupe. But most of these girls never make it onto the stage—a far more sinister fate awaits them, sacrificed in the name of the greater good.

Don't expect much, it's mostly shock value.

I don't think I have much to say about this, but many people have expressed their inability to understand the story. Someone had detailed the story in other review. Those are more helpful than this one.

Now, I would only discuss some intention that the author tried to insert into it. It is really short, but I can't really recommend it. I would recommend Mikai no Hoshi. Women's suffering is one thing, the other major theme is in dream, desire, unchecked power, power structure, human's cruelty and even the spirit of endurance. In it, there's also some spite towards naivete, ... which isn't very feminist friendly, but nevertheless, it is fiction. The story is very simple, I will spoil it since I don't recommend it. The orphans are sent to a prison for reprieve, so they do not have them going out of control, under the guise of adoption by family that rules the land. It mixed in the theme of art and artist, in which art was mentioned multiple time, in this case opera, as the desire of every orphan girls. Those orphan girls who weren't chosen, might be sent to work as servants of different family, never managed to achieve the dream of the girls in the orphanage. Each chapter is a tale surrounding the prison, and then subsequently things get more revealing, as the passage of time marches on. The girls grew wiser and more aware of the deceit, despite many going into their own death unknowingly. Every time the carriage goes to the prison, it really felt like looking at lamb going to the slaughter. The author had mentioned that he intended the story to be an erotic one, but found himself losing interest as he goes on. It really shows as he doesn't really explore the concept, the setting, the theme very much. It really feels like a doujin than a proper short comic. Added to that is the episodic structure. This is why it felt disjointed, despite the entire plot being very coherent, the emotion very clear and understandable. I would say there's nothing subtle about it, but nothing honest either, as everyone is speaking, yet all of them avert their eyes to the truth. The story is neither deep nor memorable, but it is more shocking than anything else. Which is why Mikai no Hoshi, which has everything this does, but executed in even shorter amount of pages and to a crueller ending, had done this much better.

I don't find the theme and story confused at all, particularly knowing that it was supposed to be an erotic doujin. This isn't the best read, there isn't much for everyone in here. Read if you feel curious.
Still, the artist does Elizabethan England pretty well. I wished it didn't have this story attached to it and simply tell the story of "Downton Abbey". The story clearly has similar theme about old nobility, their apathy, vanity and backwardness that rendered them empty at the end of their days. He could have picked that path instead.
I wonder if he and Hal has some sort of connection. This story feels very Hal-ish.

Mixed Feelings

I give all the points to the story, as the premise and the setting is the best points, however I sadly have to take it down because of the characters and pacing. This manga is gory and quite traumatic in a sense that you feel bad for the main character, and she just keeps getting worse treatment. However, it is a short read. If you want to read something to think about, and get no positive emotion, I would suggest this. It is a very good storyline, and the psychological aspect makes up for it. I enjoy fucked up manga, as its my favorite, however ...

I personally have a love for shock manga or really any with a dark theme, but this manga was so underwhelming, i feel like the plot itself was lost halfway thru and there was no justice or true explanation about the poor girls. I found myself confused about many of the randomly introduced characters especially at the end with the death of this random woman named marilla? i believe. Deeply disappointed plot wise, only managed to make me feel pity and disgust towards the mistreatment towards the girls, the constant gang rape seemed unrealistic, honestly the whole system seemed ...
