A French blogger on the site Au Coin Du Fer recently posted a nice summary for the Cirque Du Freak manga series, all 12 volumes of which were released in France some years back. (The manga was originally published in Japan, but has been translated and released worldwide in lots of other countries, like the USA, UK, Taiwan, etc.) The piece is in French -- mais oui! -- but if you copy and paste the text into a service like Google Translate, you'll get an almost word-perfect translation. Prendre plaisir! https://lecturesmokona.wixsite.com/au-coin-du-feu/post/darren-shan
