Product Information
Rohan, a young mangaka (Japanese manga artist), meets a beautiful mysterious young woman with a dramatic story. Seeing him draw, she tells him of a cursed 200-year-old painting that used the blackest ink ever known, from a 1000-year-old tree that the painter had brought down. The painting was saved by the curator of the Louvre - Rohan forgets this story until, 10 years later, he tries to locate it on a visit to Paris. Little does he know how violent the curse really is. Fans of manga will appreciate the innovative storyline and the energetic, psychedelic visuals within.Product Identifiers

Good read
In this book, Rohan, one of my favourite characters from Part 4 of JJBA embarks on a journey to find the location of a supposedly cursed painting painted with the mysterious "blackest black" pigment at the Louvre. While embarking on this journey, Rohan recalls a time in his youth when he was a mere neophyte temporarily staying at his grandmother's house which has some very strange rules and design choices (this is Hirohiko Araki) and meets a girl that tells him of the mysterious painting. After an argument or a series of arguments, she leaves and he never sees her again. Present day: After a conversation with some familiar faces including Koichi and Josuke, Rohan is reminded of the story of the painting and so travels to France and visits the Louvre. After having initially been told there is no record of the painting at the Louvre; Rohan finds out that the painting is located in a secure vault. In a sequence that is truly nightmarish, the power of the pigment is revealed; to confront those who look at it with their worst dreams and memories. Rohan only manages to escape by using his stand to erase his memories (thus nullifying the power of the painting) but the attendants that go with him are not so fortunate and are never heard from again. The ultimate fate of the painting is unknown The tone of this work is poetic and whimsical, like a modern day fairy tale or a mystery story from Weird Tales and the artwork is detailed and lifelike. As this is a promotional work for the Louvre, there is also an appendix at the back containing all kinds of interesting information about the history of the building and the cultural exhibits on offer. I would recommend this for fans of Araki's unique style as well as those who are interested in art history.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good book
A very nice book to add to your collection if you're a devoted fan of Hirohiko Araki's works and JJBA series. It's a spin-off one-shot about Kishibe Rohan, the universe's manga artist, solving mysteries involving a painting from Louvre. It's nice and captivating. I loved the art and especially the colors used. Definitely recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
