Tow Ubukata’s original fantasy novel is (very) loosely based on the real 18th-century French diplomat/spy, Chevalier d’Eon, who would switch between presenting himself as a man and a woman. In novel, manga, and animated form, Le Chevalier D’Eon follows a supernatural murder/mystery surrounding the death of Lia de Beaumont and several other French women whose only connection to each other is the word PSALMS appearing with the bodies found. Now her younger brother D’Eon is on the hunt to uncover the truth behind his sister’s death. Animated by Production I.G. (IGPX, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) comes Le Chevalier D’Eon: livre III – Danse Macabre, the third of six volumes, from ADV Films. (more…)
