A shojo classic in English for the first time.
The setting: A boys’ boarding school in Germany, sometime in the latter 20th Century. Fourteen year-old Thomas Werner falls from a lonely pedestrian overpass to his death immediately after sending a single, brief letter to a schoolmate:
To Juli, one last time This is my love This is the sound of my heart Surely you must understand
Thus begins the legendary and enigmatic
Heart of Thomas
, by Moto Hagio. Inspired by Jean Delannoy’s 1964 film,
Les Amitiés Particulières
,
The Heart of Thomas
was nearly cancelled early in its serialization, in 1974, until Hagio’s first trade paperback,
The Poe Clan
, Volume 1, sold out in a single day, giving her new series a new lease on life. The result was a story more complex, less accessible, and yet so compelling it can be found near or at the top of any list of classic shojo manga. Translated by manga scholar Rachel Thorn and packaged with the same loving attention to detail as Hagio’s Eisner Award nominated
A Drunken Dream
is one of the most eagerly awaited manga translations of the decade.
