Uno de los mejores mangas que he leído. Una historia muy bien pensada, muy bien ambientada. Me encanta el viaje que realizas como lector por Alemania y Rusia, todo a través de la música clásica y los secretos de sus personajes. Tiene un arte hermoso, muy delicado. Para mi, es la época en donde Riyoko Ikeda alcanza la cúspide de su estilo.

Orpheus no mado is the greatest manga I've ever read and i read tons of manga!
Though not as commercially successful as The Rose of Versailles, Riyoko Ikeda once said that she thinks that her work in this surpasses her work in Rose of Versailles.
It is a saga of Russian revolution. It started with a legendary window in all boys Catholic St. Sebastian Music Institute in Regernsburg Germany. It is said that if a man look through the window and see a woman they will fall in love but it will end tragically like the story of Orpheus and Euridice.
Two boys, Isaac and Klaus was at the window and see Julius, a girl disguise as a boy , and their lives are changed forever.
This manga follows through their lives in Regernsburg, St.Petersburg, and Vienna with the tumultous history background of Bolsheviek revolution and World War I. As typicall Riyoko Ikeda's story it ends tragically.
There are so many characters in the story interwoven in Julius, Isaac and Klaus's lives with their own tragic story and there are so many death in the manga that i think Riyoko Ikeda really loves sad story.
From this manga, you can see that love cannot conquer all but it is strong enough to change your life.

Series yang pernah dipinjam semasa masih sekolah. Yang kupinjam karena nama besar Riyoko Ikeda. Waktu itu Rose of Versailles lagi beken-bekennya di Indonesia. Makanya setelah membaca series yang itu, langsung membaca series yang ini.
Harus kuakui, saat itu aku tidak terlalu suka dengan kisahnya. Sedih. Dan menyebalkan. Terlalu tragis buatku. Tapi setelah membaca ulang sekarang, aku suka karena sejarahnya terasa banget! Memang mangaka yang satu ini paling yahud buat bikin karya berdasarkan sejarah. Dan sejarah selalu menjadi sesuatu yang membuatku terpikat. :P
Tragis? Memang. Tetapi kisah berlatar sejarah mana yang tidak berakhir tragis? *sebagian besar* Justru karena tragis itulah makanya jadi meninggalkan bekas.

This is, by far, the best manga I have ever read. The way it unfolds, the tragedy, the historical events, everything is extremely well done, planned and told. A must read if you are into mangas!
