I’m shallow like that, just saw this book’s cover and bought it.

Les Amants Papillons or “Los Amantes Mariposa” based on the Chinese legend of the lovers… story as tragic as, or maybe even more so than Romeo & Juliet. I was all “wait a minute” why is her name Naoko? It’s all very Japanese/Chinese mix very much like in Mulan, but I could look passed that because the illustrations are oh so pretty.
