The Dove of Happiness · review
This chapter is part of Takemiya’s 1991 art book, umi no tenshi. It takes place three years after the events of the manga. Serge makes a brief appearance, but the story focuses on Jules and Rosmariné, who meet after three years at one of Serge’s performances. I feel like the Jules and Rosmariné were quite popular characters, so it makes sense to devote another chapter to them. In it, we learn how the two met, how their complicated relationship developed and where they stand now. This chapter obviously can’t be seen as a stand alone work, since you need to have an understanding of the twoand everything that happened. Even though it was short, it was very enjoyable. Plus, the illustrations in the first half of the art book are gorgeous, as expected from Takemiya, so I would encourage everyone to buy it should you get the chance. The illustrations include characters from other popular works by the author.
