Armand Appreciation Week : manga

my vision of Armand in manga
Obviously there is the IWTV manga, but it's rare and as far as Armand goes, I haven't seen much of it.
But I did find an Armandian feel (though lighter and younger - well technically this character is only "eternally 16" compared to the "eternally 17" of Armand, but he looks younger than I imagine Amadeo) in Narumi Kakinouchi's manga.
She essentially draws vampire stories, the most famous one being "Vampire Princess Miyu". And she draws a lot of pretty guys in there.
But it's a distinct manga (though related to her vampire stories) that rang my bell.
"The Wanderer"

Detail of a double page of the manga. This is the kind of expressions that I associate to Armand. Melancholic, sad... Too sad for his youthful look.
