Hussite wars as a manga?!

Hey guys, I stumble upon this when I was doing some research. It is kind of ridiculous and funny at the same time. Until now I have had no idea something like this exists. This is manga comics set during hussite wars. The historical accuracy is very very vague, they only took names and some basic things, but rest of it is probably totally made up. They also mixed two things together, hussite wars with one really old Czech legend about all women civil war against men, fighting quite successfully for some time, and then being defeated. However it is very interesting to see our history making base for some culturally very different medium. Enjoy!
Because of concerns about copyright infringement, I pull out the direct link to the comics. However you can find the comics easily by searching Otome Sensou on Google. First link directing to mangapark.com shall be the right one. Only one chapter of the comics was created, so there isn’t more, even though the story was suppose to continue.

hell yeah, copyright infringement

Hell yeah, like many other topics in this forum as well with for example links to youtube videos of songs, which haven’t been uploaded by authors. But for the peace of your soul I will replace it with advice what to write into the google search bar to find it. :wink:

Anime and manga is actually both pretty amazing and funny sphere to look into, concerning the impossible variety of things that japanese authors adapt into their works. From classical pieces of literature (and other art) known all around the world to some very specific local stuff that you really wouldn’t expect a foregner from the other side of the world to know.

They mostly use lots of elements from British, French and German culture, history and languages, but some Czech (rarely, among others) as well. For example a certain retro-stylized vampire sci-fi called Trinity Blood features a couple of characters named after famous writers like William Wordsworth and Václav Havel… yeah, you read it right! :slight_smile: Both are high-standing priests in a futuristic Vatican and Father Havel looks a way more like Jesus rather than his late namesake.

Also important to note - the way they use those things they adapt very much varies. Some anime/manga takes its sources more or less seriously and brings something that is really worth reading/watching (Ergo Proxy - a brilliant sci-fi series heavily drawing from the works of René Descartes), some only aim to create something that would look übercool … and the results are corresponding (like watch at your own risk).

I didn’t know about this Hussite-semi-inspired manga so far, but I’m definitely going to check it out. Looks crazy enough… :smiley:
