These are really good! I found the first at my local library. It's a really origional idea, and incorrprates a lot of different characters. The entire story concept is new. It begins with the main character dying! Rather innovative, wouldn't you say? I highly recomend that, and Harlequin Valentine. Another very good ironic work. It a single though, and I bought it from Amazon, same place you can get Black Orchid from. Let me know what you think, and if youve already read it, again... how was it?

And I'm just the opposite -- I liked Harlequinne loads more than Black Orchid  _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket. - Goonies |

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...  |

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.  |
