Ludwig Kakumei -the twisted fairytale-

I have read this manga 2 times. once for the last 2 years, and just recently i have this urge to re-read back this manga.
I especially like this manga because it's twisted element in the fairytale. So while i frantically trying to recall what the title of this manga, I vaguely remember the prince's name which is ludwig. and i stumble upon Ludwig II (behold! it's a yaoi manga! XD) but then...it's not the one i'm looking for, since Ludwig Kakumei...unfortunately is not a yaoi manga, but still, it has shounen-ai hint at the end of the story. :) 

meet the Prince!
                                                                          meet the Prince! 

Anyway, back to the manga, the Ludwig Kakumei (Ludwig Revolution), which has total of 4 volume was scanlated+ translated by Aerendia group,me think. It's about a Prince,namely Ludwig on a journey of searching for his bride on his father's order. So the bride he found on his journey are coming from the fairytale that you all know! I remembered snow white, cinderella, red riding hood, sleeping beauty, hansel and gretel, and many more. the original story of each fairy tale remains intact with appearance of the admired prince, the witches, stepmum, and so on, but whats interesting in this story, everyone of each character has dark side to it, even the charming prince who was the epitome of charming, are also shrewd. but yeah, i enjoyed those disgusting, weird character of the prince and the princess. thats why i called them twisted fairy tale. Even though Ludwig met each heroin in respective fairytale (and ridiculed them), he still can't find one that fits his soul until he found this one princess. but too bad...the princess is unattainable.i cry a bit for THIS Ludwig. Oh mind you, even Ludwig the prince, also has weird evil side which make him attractive. :)

i really,really recommend you guys to read this manga if you guys haven't do that yet. i can assure you, you will never get bored when reading this manga. (infact, i actually hoping if there are any sequel to this-just saying~) 

anyhoo, i like the style of this manga. oh, how i wish i could read any other manga which has similar genre and "feel" like this one. i don't remember of seeing one. if you guys ever stumble upon something like this, do tell me,k?

i guess i'm done here, and ciao! XD
wishing u guys have a great day(s)!   

p/s: and here, i'm still smiling writing this "review" while my Pharmacology notes beside me waiting to be opened, and in the next  2 days i'm going to sit for this very-ly test. oh-so-wonderful...(=_=)
