Don't get me wrong, it seems to be a really good manga but its just not my type. I mean, I liked the context of the work, French revolution and stuff; its a great manga, an incredible artwork but the plot and the character development it's not for me.

I don't know, "it didnt catch me as much" is the real thing here.

If you like history in general, French revolution history or even if you want to just read something really different from the "regular" seinens/mangas in general, The Innocent is a great choice for that, you should really try it out.
