Finally finished Kaze To Ki No Uta since I watched half of it and forgot about it. I really enjoyed it. Since it's a single hour long OVA of a manga the story is obviously clipped and condensed but all in all I think it works great as a stand alone and has caused me to start reading the manga. It was released in the late 80s but they stayed true to Keiko Takemiya's art so it has a nice vintage 70s feel. The backgrounds are all hand painted and look gorgeous. The story, being so condensed, may feel a bit unfulfilling, but if you're okay with some melodrama I'd suggest watching or reading it, if nothing else because the 2 MCs are super qts.
There seems to be a surprising amount of yaoi set in pre-industrial France, but I really liked the setting so I'm okay with that. Anyone have similar stuff to suggest? I'd like something cute but some drama is fine. Also sexual content is fine but nothing graphic, I'm not looking for something to fap to.
