به شکل عجیبی مثله کردن رو زیبا درآورده بود

I think the scene of the execution is among the best that I have ever read. Everything was made even more captivating by Little Marie. I adored the Bach musical reference. I was transported to a feeling of pleasure by this scene, which was both sad and beautiful.

The execution is finally over and thank our Marie for that.
Also the concept of the Guillotine is finally coming out. This will be important throughout the series.
Also timeskip
Hold you're breadsticks guy's because Marie-Joseph Sanson the executioner of Versailles is coming

La crudeza de este tomo te deja impactad@ si o si. La historia es realista, intensa, el debate moral y el contexto histórico combinado con un dibujo preciosista hace que te enganches. Si tenía alguna duda de si seguirla o no, ya tengo claro que si. Ciertamente, en algunas parte puede dejarte con mal cuerpo, así que teniendo en cuenta el contexto, sabes con lo que te puedes encontrar. Las páginas finales que incluye la edición me han encantado, describen las fuentes históricas (y los datos reales) utilizadas por el autor de la novela en la que se basa el cómic.

4.5⭐
Trigger Warnings:
This whole volume was rough with how the execution was taken place. Especially, when you know that this man did not deserve to be executed in the most vile way.
Other than the execution, this volume set the backdrop for the rise of Marie-Joseph Sanson, the youngest sister of our Charles who one day will become the executioner of Versailles. Thank god she taught her grandmother that old hag a damn lesson.
ART: the art in this volume alone requires a whole speech. Even though, the theme was a dark subject matter, the art was drawn so beautifully that the agony of the characters were felt. One thing I adore about Shin'ichi's work is the ability to draw characters with emotions on their faces.

Epílogo del Monsieur Damiens, como así todo lo que conlleva con él. Finalmente, su hijo proclama venganza de alguien inocente, quién solo debe realizar su deber, todo esto hace que tengamos un enfoque completamente distinto de la guillotina, símbolo sanguinario y reflejo de una época de rojo carmesí en las calles de Paris. ¿Es finalmente este instrumento una vía de misericordia para que no ocurran otros casos como los de Damiens? Justamente esa es la reflexión que nos deja esta dolorosa historia, donde la imagen resalta lo morboso y macabro de una era que estaba destinada a cambiar.

МАРІ ДЖОЗЕФ Я ЧИТАЛА ЦЮ МАНГУ ЗАРАДИ ТЕБЕ ЯКЩО ЩО

I’ve come to the conclusion that this is the series best volume!
It hyperfocuses on a single execution and keeps an underlying tension by having this execution be important to the future!
Also, Maria is and interesting addition to the cast right here, because she serves as an example of how wrong it can go with one of these Samson children, Maria being a straight-up psychopath.
Which contrasts to how cute and innocent she looks.
And the manner the author uses her here is very good.
Good potential which unfortunately gets spoiled later.

per quanto è stato macabro mi venivano i brividi a sfogliare le pagine, a continuare a guardare le immagini cercando di non immedesimarmi nella vittima. I disegni sono così realisti e dinamicamente perfetti da far trasparire i sentimenti di disagio e terrore narrati in questo volume.
Non vedo l’ora di vedere come Marié prenderà piede in un mondo maschilista in un lavoro prettamente da uomo.

I might have given this one a better review since the execution was so well executed in comparison to everything else, but we're back again to mediocre writing towards the end of the volume.
Can't be helped. It is what it is.
Edit: reevaluating the volume based on later developments.

Bloody and splendid. A masterpiece of this genre.

Execution and torture were once again made out to be an exact science in Mode of Death (ch 32). Anne-Marthe's pride never ceases to amuse me, and neither do the creative visuals in this manga.
The panels in Absolute Paternal Authority (ch 33) were insane and captured how grotesque everything was. The comparison of Damiens's body being torn apart to glass being created was something I did not think I would need or appreciate...
I am thinking about what Nicholas told Charles about how the public witnessing an execution brought them exhiliration and ecstacy that brought them closer to the king of France. How something born from cruelty could be likened to divinity is beyond me.
I wonder how Anne-Marthe felt though. I kinda wanna see her unleash hell on Nicholas.
I feel like there is much to say about the different characters' awe at what was quickly turning to be a spectacle in The Scaffold's Love (ch 34). However, my almost-sleepy brain can only marvel at Sakamoto Shinichi's artistry!
Bud of the Red Rose (ch 35) lent some of the spotlight to the two characters I find most interesting, and I am excited! This is also quite strange to say, but I like the implication that Anne-Marthe adhered to some principles of her own, and disdained people who could not follow through their own actions.
I enjoyed the girlbossification of Anne-Marthe and Marie Joseph in Golden Rules of Blood Relatives (ch 36). Ironic how Anne-Marthe, the matriarch and Iron Law of the Sanson family, thought of herself as being less than a man.
I listened to Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring while reading to Bright Moonlight Cantata (ch 37), and was that an interesting experience even though I did not know how to time it. The tension in the air, ropes, and string were palpable all throughout this chapter. I was amazed by the use of the violin to aid with the build up and climax. There was also something about seeing Charles splattered with blood.
Resplendent Agony (ch 38) had similar vibes to the previous chapter, but it was more emotional and heartfelt than ?? Exciting ?? Thrilling ?? The visuals here depicted something of a more religious and immaculate nature. The use of the violin and its strings was so clever! In spite of the differences between this and the previous chapter, they were every bit as incredible as each other.
It is also interesting how in spite of the brutality of the execution method and the actual event, Damiens's farewell felt so soft and gentle, and so much like coming home. Perhaps it was.
I beg to differ with what Julius Schmidt said about Charles-Henri Sanson having a fragile heart in Blaze of Enlightenment (ch 39). He definitely had a strong heart and stomach.
I loved how Tobias Schmidt was emphasized to be the son of a musical instruments repairman. The guillotine was perhaps the most humane instrument for executions. Speaking of sons, I wonder how Damiens got his hands on his wife's dress...
The Young "Femme Fatale" (ch 40) was wild... I fear for Marie though...
Genesis of the Innocents (ch 41) was all about Marie, but I already knew I liked her from the beginning. This was the chapter that really made me like Charles for his bond with his younger sister, standing up to Anne-Marthe, and his vision and optimism.

Llega el final del calvario por el que hacen pasar al señor Damiens, quien ha tenido la mala fortuna de ser objeto de quienes buscan reafirmar su poder, así como de los que ven una oportunidad para buscar sus ambiciones. Sea como sea el tormento por el que ha tenido que pasar ha sido brutal.
Resulta interesante la manera en cómo Charles busca maneras para que el sufrimiento de Damiens termine pronto, pero de igual manera, la suerte no se encuentra del todo de su lado y es ahí cuando se va dando cuenta del significado de que el Rey haya impuesto semejante castigo y que su tío le confiese que quería hacer de esto un espectáculo.
Por lo que, a pesar de lo difícil que resulta, maneja la situación de una manera impecable, claro, hasta que se encuentra con el problema de que ya no se le ocurren más soluciones, siendo así que recibirá ayuda de alguien inesperado, que marcará la pauta para convertirse en un personaje interesante y con mayor presencia en la historia.
Sin embargo, esta ayuda no es bien vista por la abuela, puesto que rompe con todas las reglas establecidas y más interesante aún, nos enseñara la perspectiva que tiene de las mujeres y la manera en cómo ha sido educada, por lo que al estar en contra de todo lo que ella ha creído, el enojo crece más en su interior.
Y como era de esperarse, al ser retada en público y dejado a un lado su autoridad, decide imponer un castigo, pero al darse cuenta de esto Charles, decide intervenir dejando muy en claro que quien ahora va a decidir cómo se llevarán las cosas, es él.
Con un capítulo final que se ve venir pero que a la vez resulta emocionante y que nos presenta a otro miembro de la familia que será sumamente peculiar.
Como dato curioso, me ha gustado mucho la mención de Johan Sebastián Bach.
De igual manera todo el texto informativo del final ha sido interesante de leer y como siempre el dibujo resulta impresionante.
Un manga sumamente interesante y muy recomendable.

El hombre que intento asesinar al rey de Francia sera ejecutado !!!, y de manera severa, por DESMEMBRAMIENTO, pero una cosa es decirlo, y otra hacerlo...¿podrá el heredero de los Samson salir de tan fregado predicamento?.
LO BUENO: El arte que tiene este manga es una cosa tremenda, y si, puede que participen 7 u 8 tipos en su creación, es para aplaudirles, no hay panel regular, no hay diseño simple, no hay fondos apresurados, no, acá cualquier pagina, esta por encima de dibujos promedios, como por ejemplo las paginas de los ángeles, o como Charles se imagina a Francia devorando gente...todo es una maldita obra maestra. La ejecución avanza a buen ritmo y sientes opresión en todo momento.
LO MALO: Las ultimas paginas traen mucho texto explicativo, que no esta mal, pero cuentan hechois que aun no han pasado y spoilean feo muchas tramas que vienen.

Un pequeño recuento sin spoilers de lo que llevo de esta historia:
El joven Charles Henri Sanson será el siguiente líder de una temida familia de verdugos en Francia. Él es un joven inocente que no quiere seguir con esta tradición familiar y ve las distintas formas de hacer cumplir una supuesta justicia como algo sangriento y extremista, más aún cuando un amigo suyo es inculpado por un delito que no cometió y condenado a muerte.
Es algo crudo porque es explícito en las torturas y y hasta ahora se ha mostrado una ejecución que puede ser difícil de ver. El dibujo es bellísimo, hermoso y la historia es interesante. Tengo entendido que más adelante veremos cómo se va dando la revolución francesa. El persona principal si existió en la vida real.

nulla da dire, meraviglioso esattamente come i volumi precedenti, questo manga ti prende in una maniera incredibile tanto che fai fatica a staccarti poi dalle pagine.

i disegni sono così realisti e dinamicamente perfetti da far trasparire i sentimenti di disagio e terrore narrati in questo volume.

This volume focused specifically on the écartèlement execution of Damiens, an unrelenting father blamed for the attempted assassination of the current king of France. This might be an unpopular opinion but I don't really like Marie's character. I would hate to see her replace our present protagonist but it seems like she will definitely stop being a side character as per the time skip.

Entre horreur et beauté. Entre violence et art. Voilà comment je qualifierais ce tome. Les graphismes sont saissisant, ils nous dépeint une violence, un gore, une histoire abominable. Charles-Henri est mis face à son humanisme une fois de plus. Et ne laisse pas le lecteur sur sa faim. Sa relation avec la petite soeur Marie Josèphe se concrétise, on sent que les deux vont aller loin et vont être unis face à la barbarie.

very very solid, loving marie! as i read this i wonder how much of it is historically accurate. i’ve looked up a lot of the names and obv these are real ppl who did these things but like how much of the family stuff is real and like did it all happen like this? obv i assume it’s exaggerated for the sake of the work but i mean how much is it exaggerated?

La ejecución del señor Damiens fue terrible!!! :(
Oiga señor Shin'ichi, por qué tiene que dibujar tan bien y descriptivamente este tipo de cosas???
Charles tiene dos lados en este momento: su lado frágil y noble. Y su lado de verdugo que aparece arriba de la plataforma de ejecución...seguirá con esa dolorosa dualidad o uno de los lados ganará??
