I saw this advertised in another manga (I can't remember which one) and I think it looks good - the art is very pretty and the story is the sort of thing I like. The first volume hasn't been published in English (yet) I think it's due to be out in August...
A bit about the author:
M. Alice LeGrow spent much of her early childhood in Germany and other parts of Europe, and later moved with her family to Connecticut. Much of her work is influenced by a combination of the German language, art and architecture, as well as the ghost stories and legends of New England.
She attended the Savannah College of Art and Design and received a BFA in Sequential Art. M. Alice LeGrow was a runner up in TOKYOPOP's Rising Stars of Mangaâ„¢ 2. She just turned 23 in 2004, and she isn't upset that you ate the last donut. She didn't want it anyway. From www.tokyopop.com
M. Alice LeGrow's Bizenghast, takes place in a decrepit former mill town that has since been abandoned and is now completely out of touch with the modern world.
Dinah, a young teenage girl who lost her parents tragically, must now live with her aunt in a huge and scary house in Bizenghast. Poor Dinah--a pretty girl gone totally insane. Though she has moments of clarity, Dinah is out of touch with reality. Her madness does allow her to see the ghosts that inhabit the town, and indeed, the gloomy house in which she lives. Unfortunately for Dinah, the ghosts are piqued by Dinah's presence. They oppress her in the creepy old house ...
But nothing can hold a candle to what happens when Dinah and Vincent - her champion/admirer - stumble upon the ruins of the town's worst secret and are forced to enter into a contract the likes of which are eerily ungodly, to say the least ... From www.tokyopop.com
