Heart of Thomas by Moto Hagio (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Heart of Thomas by Moto Hagio Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This complex and compelling shojo manga ranks as one of the all-time greats since its original 1974 inception. Publisher Description The setting: A boys boarding school in Germany, sometime in the latter 20th Century. Fourteen year-old Thomas Werner falls from a lonely pedestrian overpass to his death immediately after sending a single, brief letter to a schoolmate: To Juli, one last time This is my love This is the sound of my heart Surely you must understand Thus begins the legendary and enigmatic Heart of Thomas, by Moto Hagio. Inspired by Jean Delannoys 1964 film, Les Amitiés Particuli?res, The Heart of Thomas was nearly cancelled early in its serialization, in 1974, until Hagios first trade paperback, The Poe Clan, Volume 1, sold out in a single day, giving her new series a new lease on life. The result was a story more complex, less accessible, and yet so compelling it can be found near or at the top of any list of classic shojo manga. Translated by manga scholar Matt Thorn and packaged with the same loving attention to detail as Hagios Eisner Award nominated A Drunken Dream, The Heart of Thomas is already the most eagerly anticipated manga translation of the new decade.
