AB - The Japanese manga world is widely acknowledged for its producing power of various genres as well as the overwhelming market size. It is interesting that some of the best-selling works are based on the history of the French Revolution. The most famous works are Ryoko Ikeda's Rose of Versailles in the 1970s, and Shinichi Sakamoto's recently published Innocent and Innocent Rouge. Although dealing with the same era, the Rose of Versailles paid attention to the lives of French Royal Court, while Innocent deals with the history of the Sanson family, the executioners of that period. Therefore, we know that France, which was only romantically depicted in the Rose of Versailles, is now portrayed as a society where a brutal death penalty is practiced. In Innocent, female characters do not search for social justice or romantic love but they are depicted as monstrous feminines that are computational and can do everything to survive. Marie-Josèphe Sanson, main female character of Innocent, embodies such a figure, which can be said to reflect the active desire of Japanese women to become equal to men.
