DARKEST NIGHTINGALE

Deep in London’s Scotland Yard sits an evidence room dedicated to the greatest mysteries of British history. In this “Black Museum” sits a misshapen hunk of lead—two bullets fused together—the key to the untold story of a wartime encounter between Florence Nightingale, the mother of modern nursing, and a supernatural Man in Grey. The record books show Florence fought for compassion as empires’ petty rivalries threatened to destroy the hopes and lives of common people. But a guest in the Black Museum knows the truth is not so simple, and the famed Lady with the Lamp had a ghastly secret…

Review

"One of the best historical mangas I’ve read in a long time." -Adventures in Poor Taste

"A well-written book that had me turning the pages rapidly.. a great example of why this artist is so popular in Japan." -Manga Bookshelf

"Peculiar, intense, and enthralling, with both Grey and Florence precariously balanced on the edge of insanity." -Experiments in Manga

Florence Nightingale's life story told with a supernatural twist.
5 Stars
Florence Nightingale's life story told with a supernatural twist.
Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, is a hero. What she did, under the most trying of circumstances, was incredible. This manga does an excellent job of telling her life story using a fantastical relationship with a ghost and symbolic images of malice and despair. The artwork is first rate and story telling engaging. Highly recommended!

Easily overlooked, this is a painstakingly researched journey into the past with Kazuhiro Fujita's trademark atmosphere of intensity. More well-known for his works in the shonen demographic, Fujita has been publishing for nearly 30 years, but this is the first of his manga to be published in English. The relationship between protagonists Flo and Grey brings to mind the central dynamic of "Ushio and Tora", but this is a very new story, combining the early career of Florence Nightingale with the supernatural eidolons and even the Chevalier d'Eon in another of Fujita's takes on the monstrous versus the human. The hardcover release is lovely and Fujita's inks--drawn directly onto the page layout, with no pencil stage--have never been more powerful.

This manga is absolutely worth a read if it grabs your attention. The hardcover edition is really nice, so I would definitely recommend that version if you're able to get it. The story itself is enjoyable thus far, I'm currently halfway through it and picked up the second volume as well.

Really excellent historical manga for fans of Vinland Saga and Wolfsmund. The art style is a bit different, but the story is so good and well-written. The amount of research the author put into this is amazing.
