Overture
Welcome to Rain of Black Roses. I made a lot of blogs resembling this before, but always everything ended in the first post-and I hope this will not happen again. Well, I`m using my last remains of strength indeed, and triying to catch that thing called inspiration before it`s too late.

What is this about? Mainly about manga. Old manga, rare manga, not-so-famous manga (and sometimes anime). If look back now, time has passed since I became a proper fan of this japanese comics, and after all the works I read until now, there is a list of titles that of course I can call my favorites, but great part of them are not well known, mainstream manga. Coming to Japan helped me to turning my head more to that titles that rested silently in the second-hand libraries, manga with stories and awesome drawings with a great lack of technology in them (blurring the lines between traditional art and comic). Most of them are shoujo manga. Angsty and deep stories, drama filling every space. Even when some of the style of today`s manga is becoming more realistic and clear sometimes, it does not produce the same impression, it does not give the same description of human mind and feelings as before (in my opinion, of course). It is sad that in this times there are few manga that have that taste, and I get so excited when I am blessed with the oportunity of encountering with them. So this blog will be filled with a lot of 妄想 (obssesions), abandoned and sometimes rotten flowers of a wild and old garden. The entrance is always open, if you can find it.
