On the subject of Manipur, there is a reference to the state as far back as the Mahabharata. Chitrangada is a princess of Manipur who marries Arjuna. In most accounts she is a warrior princess, probably from a matrilineal society, who does not accompany Arjuna back to Indraprastha after his years of exile.
Representations of Chitrangada in art: 1. By Pobsant Roockarangsarith (X); 2) Ramendranath Chakravorty’s 1941 woodcut of Chitrangada and Arjuna and 3) Avik Chakraborty’s Royal Ladies of Mahabharata: Chitrangada.

Today I'm pissed because this castle is almost impossible to visit and some yatch-making scumbag company bought it for 15 million euros like its a piece of furniture.

Look no further! Here’s a few suggestions of some really great comic series that don’t have to do with superheroes.
Saga by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples.
AMAZING series! It follows an inter-species relationship in the midst of a galactic war where their hybrid child is the subject of assassins and governments trying to kill them.
Squarriors by Ashley Witter and Ash Maczko.
If you were a Redwall or Warriors kid, you’ll like this action-packed and brutal series following a group of squirrels.
Korgi: Short Tails by Christian Slade
This short issue is full of cute and heart-warming adventures of a korgi and his girl.
The Lost Boys by Tim Seeley and Scott Godlewski
Oh boy. If you grew up with the 1987 film The Lost Boys, like I did, you’ll love this spin-off 6-part comic series that follows some of the same characters and lots of vampires!
Insexts by Marguerite Bennett and Ariela Kristantina
This was one of the first comic books I read in high school, which is about two queer women and one of them is an insect-like alien. It sounds bizarre, but it’s amazing.
Red Thorn by David Baillie and Meghan Hetrick
By far my most favorite series! Red Thorn is an old god who has been imprisoned for thousands of years and is finally released. Meghan Hetrick’s art is Amazing! Please read this short series!
Animosity by Marguerite Bennett and Rafael De Latorre
What if one day animals woke up and were as conscious and smart as humans? Well, this series follows a young girl and her dog as they navigate a new world where animals are at war with humans.
