Kiri no Prizrak - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Adam
- Thread starter MangaDex
- Start date
Serialised on the website Comic Pash Neo; demographics are a little hazy but Bookwalker reckons it's shoujo/josei.
This series comes up in conversation around Shukufuku no Ceska on social media, probably because of their similar demographics and the focus on language/communication (although Prizrak is much less complicated in that regard!).
Erde ("the land") is thinly veiled Germany; Morye ("the sea", roughly - I know no Russian I'm afraid and apologies if that's not the right Romanisation, I don't think it's quite right grammatically) is thinly veiled Russia. I'm never entirely sure how I feel about the way manga sometimes trades in the European iconography of the World Wars for entertainment - it can border on fetishism at times - but I think there's enough going on here that's more meditative rather than exploitative, particularly based on what I've read of the rest of the series to date.

wuts wit the yaoi undertones
It's described as a "brotherhood fantasy" in its marketing copy, and is nominally targeted at a female demographic rather than a male one. While I'm not fully up to date on the chapters on Pash, this is a story about extremely intense male relationships under the shadow of war, but not precisely a romantic (and definitely not sexual) one.
