[Oscar Jarjayes/Rose of Versailles]

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Image: An anime-style drawing of a woman with long blond hair and a dark blue 1700's style man's coat, holding a sword (with her thumb, apparently; this is admittedly the weakest part of the drawing).

Text: I think SHE'S the reason I still write and enjoy the "woman disguised as a man" trope in historical fiction/fanfic, even though it's considered cliche at this point.

She just does it so well and looks so good while doing it!

(Also, I want that coat for myself. It looks fantastic.)

Rose of Versailles, such a classic.

This doesn't really have to do anything with this specific secret, but when I went to Versailles while studying abroad they actually had this manga in the gift store!

[solticisekf]

Did they have other manga there?

[ozaline]

Don't know about the shop, but there's a lot of good old manga that has French translations but no English translation. Same with anime too... I keep seeing the Princess Knight anime for sale (I live in a predominately Anglophone part of Canada but where there are some nearby French speaking communities) and I want it, but it's French dub only and no Japanese.

[solticisekf]

I have a YaGiOh manga in french, don't know why I bought it as I don't speak French. The pictures were pretty and I was small. I also have one manga on Japanese because there wasn't a translation at the moment. I don't read any of them, lol

Actually, that makes me happy! When I went to France as part of a school trip back in 2005, I was looking for the manga in hopes of not having to pay online shipping fees, but no one seemed to have heard of it. Glad to hear it's being sold somewhere appropriate now!

[solticisekf]

I just like secret identity plots. Doramas with gender intrigue, Prince and Pouper, Zorro, Quantum Leap, etc, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

I've always loved the "woman disguised as a man" trope, and finding "Rose of Versailles" was a revelation to me.

It's still one of my favorite anime of all time!

[dancing_serpent]

Oh, I totally have a thing for secret identities and (wo)men dressed up as (wo)men, and Oscar is just so awesome! And I love all her uniforms, especially the white/silver one she wears when she takes Marie-Antoinette out dancing. *swoon*

[diet_poison]

hey, I like that trope!
