Music =          15/20

My opinion:

This manga which tells the French revolution through soul-stirring characters, is really fascinating. I find it's a good way to revise the French history or to discover with fun (funnier than a course ;P). I really recommend to reading this manga - especially because of the story in which there are many unexcpeted events. Thus, you never become bored! ;)
