Jul 22, 2023We all know how the story of Louis and Marie Antoinette would end, but there’s still so much tension and build up woven onto each page that Ikeda gives hope that they could escape, or the people could decide to spare them. This volume also does finally get some resolution and relief for all the build up of Oscar and André’s romantic tension that has been rising throughout the story. After the historical drama has concluded, there is a side story focusing on Oscar, Rosalie, Andre, and a little girl named Loulou, but that could have probably been included with volume 5 where there are more adventures of Loulou, so instead we end on this interesting note of a story based on a real woman named Elizabeth Bathony who did murder a lot of people, but it seems like a strange place to end volume four.
