So I already commented on how the Anime about Jeanne d’Arc I’ve seen has disappointed me when it comes to Jeanne’s gender bending potential. Well now I’m familiar with some Manga that actually does better.
First is Puella Magi Tart Magica, a Madoka Magica spin off.
In this one Jeanne does have shorter hair, and once she begins her mission dresses fairly masculine in her normal form. And even her Magical Girl form has a bit of a Knight quality to it.
But I would say the most Bifauxnen character in the Tart manga is Riz. Even though her hair is long, in her normal form she has an Italian Cavelier look, which makes me think of characters like Regina in Paul Feval’s Bel Demonio (which I’ve so far only read in an abridged form called Woman of Mystery), and Nisida in George Reynolds Wagner the Werewolf.
I think it’s possibly over all the best Madoka spinoff Manga, I recommend it.
I also recently took an interest in the Requiem for the Rose King Manga, loosely based on Shakespeare’s plays about the War of the Roses. I have however only been able to read the first 6 chapters. It does quite a few interesting things, and Jeanne d’Arc’s crossdressing is a plot point in it.
