Poison Apple
Long ago, I wrote a manga called Konton Momo. I'll probably talk about it soon, but the point is, after seven volumes of that series, I swore to myself that I would never write shojo again. But then last summer, a title popped into my head. "Poison Apple". Sounded like a fairy tale. I soon drew a picture of a teenage girl in the middle of some dark woods, wearing some Lolita-esque clothes. Thus, Poison Apple was born, and it was one of the most popular series I ever wrote.
Kuramu is a princess in a faraway land. She gets everything she wants, with one catch: not a single person in the kingdom likes her one bit. She is cruel, spoiled, and everything else. But as her coronation approaches, she keeps having the same dream: She is alone, crying, standing in front of an old, withered tree.
When she decides to look for the tree on the castle grounds, all she finds was a strange old woman. An apple is given to Kuramu, with a warning "the curse can only be reversed if you return the apple to its tree." Soon enough, her cousin Kazuo warns that her father, the king, is planning on making her kind brother king instead of her becoming queen. She dismisses the rumor, to find the next morning that her brother has eaten the cursed apple and fallen terminally ill. Now that everyone in the kingdom suspects her, she is exiled. Kuramu travels the world with the cured apple, trying to find its tree. Along the way, she meets many strange characters: an overly optimistic fairy, a reluctant prince, a loud mouthed thief, and a tomboy Robin-hood. But as she learns that someone is deliberately trying to keep her from finding the tree, Kuramu learns about someone that she has not quite understood: herself.
Pictures (much too lazy to shrink 'em):
My art was pretty different then from how it is now. It's surprisingly different
Kuramu
Being Evil...
In context...
Tsuki (the Robin Hood)
The Fairy (who didn't have a name)
Zensuke (the prince) The only picture in the entire series where he appeared as a normal human being
One of the sirens. There were two. I think this one's name was Kuroichi, but as you can see, I never got to him...
A few pages form the series (that are probably pretty hard to read):
