So I’ve talked about Morohoshi Daijirou in my Some Thoughts #6 post and I mentioned being quite impressed with his take on the Little Mermaid fairy tale. That’s why when I saw he had a 1-volume collection of his take on Grimm’s Fairy Tales, I knew I had to translate it. The un-neutered original version of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, as you probably know, include very bizarre and grotesque stories, which makes it a perfect fit with Morohoshi’s style. The highlight of the volume is definitely his spin on Snow White and Rapunzel, but there’re other interesting chapters. Some are relatively straight adaptations while others have a sci-fi, horror, mystery, or even a comedy-twist.
One more thing to mention, since I’m releasing this chapter by chapter, I thought it would be nice to include the author’s commentary section immediately after each chapter instead of saving them for the end of the volume. This section includes a short summary of the original fairy tale as well as the author’s thoughts, so I encourage you to not gloss them over like most people do with these kinds of stuff.
