One thousand and one nights
I read volumes 2 and 3 of the manhwa One Thousand and One Nights, the shoujo-ish retelling of the classic tale with the sort of CRACK-INSPIRED twists that we expect from this genre. There is a mad Sultan who takes a new wife every night and kills her in the morning, and who is rather hot except for that whole mass-murder thing. There is a scruffy Grand Vizier, who is also kinda hot and wears glasses, thus ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rachelmanija will probably rush right out and buy it. There is a Scheherazade, only this one happens to be a beautiful young man who dressed up as a woman and offered himself in his sister's place. Did I happen to mention that his sister loves him? I mean, loves him? Yeah, you'd probably all assumed that before I mentioned it, knowing the genre and all.
Anyway, yes, young Sehara, our Scheherazade, tells the mad Sultan stories (and plot happens in between the stories, involving bandits and kidnapping and so on). These are retellings of stories and legends from around the world, that most of us are probably familiar with.
In a story in book 3 I was confronted with a shoujo version of ... well, you know what? This calls for a poll! Below this cut you shall find a picture of this person and a poll for you to guess who he might be. Have at it!
