About this title
Synopsis
Ludwig II by You Higuri, consisting of three volumes, is a fictional manga detailing the life of the historical Mad King of Bavaria, Ludwig II. It follows his military life, while it explores obscure subjects of the man's unstable and tragic life, his conflicts with his family, and his homosexual love affairs. Serious in nature, this manga is very beautiful, elaborate, emotional, and like Seimaden, it is simply marvelous. A new edition was published in 2 volumes. The English edition also has 2 volumes.

Main characters
Ludwig II1 fan favoritesExternal profileThe hero of the story is the young King of Bavaria. He came to the throne much too young --only eighteen-- and feels unprepared for it. He dislikes the growing wars in his country and is naive enough to accept the people who wish to dispose of him into his castle. At times, he can act very happy, staging plays for his pleasure, riding with his advisors, and taking delight in sharing his life with his best friend and lover, Hornig. At other times, he can be extremely moody, tormented and sensitive, as if the world were chasing him to a corner. Anger often takes over him after his grievings are done and he tends to act irrationally. Still, most of the times he is only a young dreamer who wishes to rule in peace and enjoy the beauty of life through music, art, and the sound company Hornig brings him. credits: No voice actors have been added to this character.

Richard Hornig1 fan favoritesExternal profileLudwig's royal stable boy, upon meeting the King, Hornig became the only other person --that other being his cousin, Elizabetha-- Ludwig holds dear to his heart. He is shy, quiet, and very often bears sadness in his face. He cares for the King and senses the man who surround him are driving him mad. Sometimes, he worries that Ludwig will lead himself to his own destruction, but still he is willing to sacrifice his own happiness in order to bring Ludwig out of the pain. He truly loves the King and shares his dreams and wishes, which both share through the diaries they keep, to which Hornig holds the secret key. Hornig is very loyal and strong, and is the only person that holds Ludwig safe from the madness and despair that threaten to swallow him. credits: No voice actors have been added to this character.
