Riyoko Ikeda's Rose of Versailles has been serialized since 1972 and has been running for 48 years. This work is her masterpiece, although for loyal fans, it may not be as mature as the "Window of Orpheus", which began serialization in 1975, after all, the latter won the 9th Cartoonists Guild Excellence Award in 1980. But for me personally, The Rose of Versailles will have a more profound impact.
In the second grade of elementary school, I was exposed to the first comic book in my life, that is, "Saint Seiya" from Masami Cheda, which is good, but the audience is still mainly boys. It wasn't until Riyoko Ikeda's Rose of Versailles appeared in front of my eyes that I began my decades-long dream of chasing manga stars. When I was a student, I spent almost all of my time in shonen manga!
Riyoko Ikeda's works are actually not many, but they are also talked about as "The Rose of Versailles" and "Window of Orpheus", which were only three years apart in the background of creation: "The Rose of Versailles" is set in the French Revolution, and "Window of Orpheus" is set in the Russian Revolution.
At that time, when we were young, we were more inclined to the style of drawing when watching comic books, and Riyoko Ikeda's comics also made me feel very gorgeous, and combined with the background of the time, we had unique creativity in drawing costumes and so on. If we read it again, we will find that her comic books are actually equivalent to a total literary work, which is displayed in front of us in the form of girl comics. Both The Rose of Versailles and The Window of Orpheus combine exotic histories.
