And I'm just the opposite -- I liked Harlequinne loads more than Black Orchid

I didn't really "get" Harlquin Valentine... I have to re-reaid it, though, but I still didn't like it that much. Thought it was an interesting exercise around the Commedia dell'Arte thing, but didn't care much for the sotry.

Now, Black Orchid... *sighs* It's beautiful. Not just the art, the storytelling, the story itself, the way they relate to each other... It's has a melancholy and beauty and a love for nature and plants...

same, top to bottom.

I'm glad you guys like Black Orchid. I agree with you 100% Eldi and cloverheart, it's a beautiful tale, the way plots intertwine, and the incoorperation of nature is stunning.
As for Harlequin, those who didn't like it as much, give it another shot. You see, I'm a sucker for ironic and Deep plot twisters. Are you the same way aitapata? It's got a great message about life. When you give it another go, think along the lines of Walking in someonelse's shoes for both characters. Try to read between the lines your reading between.
