Spin-Offs
Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe
April 1, 2012[3]Rohan, a young mangaka, meets a beautiful mysterious young woman with a dramatic story. Seeing him draw, she tells him of a cursed 200-year-old painting using the blackest ink ever known from a 1000-year-old tree the painter had brought down without approval from the Emperor, who had him executed for doing so. The painting, meanwhile, had been saved from destruction by a curator of the Louvre.
Rohan forgets this story as he becomes famous, but ten years later, visiting Paris, he takes the occasion to try and locate the painting. Little does he know how violently powerful the curse of it is until he has the museum unearth it from deep within its archival bowels...
