Versailles of the Dead
Step into a haunting reimagining of history with Versailles of the Dead, originally titled ベルサイユオブザデッド (Berusaiyu obu za Deddo), a dark fantasy manga that fuses gothic horror with royal intrigue.

In this version, the queen carries a hidden truth tied to blood, identity, and a terrifying force that lurks beneath the surface of Versailles.
