Okiku, a young servant tasked with caring for ten priceless Delft plates, becomes the center of a deadly game of passion. She serves in the castle by day and feeds the dungeon prisoners by night, unaware of the dark desires and jealous eyes following her every move. Among those captivated by Okiku’s beauty is the ruthless samurai Aoyama Tessan, whose twisted infatuation becomes all-consuming. Obsessed and envious, Aoyama silences the prisoners by ordering their tongues cut out, leaving Okiku to believe none wish to speak to her. But one man breaks through the silence—Shinji, a once-proud samurai now imprisoned in the depths of the dungeon, with powerful o-fuda seals binding him to his cell. Mysterious, resilient, and with a charm that captivates Okiku, he becomes the light in her dark and lonely world. As Okiku and Shinji’s forbidden connection deepens, the key to his freedom dangles from the very chain around Aoyama’s neck. Okiku must risk everything to steal it, but with Keiko, the jealous wife of Aoyama and daughter of the lord, watching closely, every step toward liberation teeters on the brink of tragedy.

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 Delannoy's 1964 film, Les Amitiés Particulières, The Heart of Thomas was nearly cancelled early in its serialization, in 1974, until Hagio's 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 Rachel Thorn and packaged with the same loving attention to detail as Hagio's Eisner Award nominated A Drunken Dream, The Heart of Thomas is one of the most eagerly awaited manga translations of the decade.
