Gankutsuou

About
Young aristocrat Albert de Morcerf, bored with Parisian high society, meets a magnetic nobleman during a festival on the moon: the Count of Monte Cristo, impossibly wealthy, impeccably mannered, and luminous with secrets. Enchanted, Albert introduces the Count to his circle — his family, his friends, the cream of Paris — never suspecting that this is precisely what the Count has been engineering. Beneath the silk and courtesy, the Count has returned for a reason, and Albert's entire world is built on the crime he intends to repay. Dumas's revenge classic unfolds from the target's-son point of view, which makes every act of the Count's vengeance land as both triumph and heartbreak.
