From NBM:
Rohan, a young mangaka, meets a beautiful mysterious young woman with a dramatic story. Seeing him draw, she tells him of a cursed 200-year-old painting using the blackest ink ever known from a 1000-year-old tree the painter had brought down without approval from the Emperor who had him executed for doing so. The painting meanwhile had been saved from destruction by a curator of the Louvre.
Rohan forgets this story as he becomes famous but ten years later, visiting Paris, he takes the occasion to try and locate the painting. Little does he know how violently powerful the curse of it is until he has the museum unearth it from deep within its archival bowels.
The first manga in the comic-art collection published by Musée du Louvre Editions.

I think I prefer this over "Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan." Firstly, it's a oneshot with only 1 story, which imo is the best kind of one shot. Secondly it brings back the classic JoJo gore that DIU was so take on.
Araki pranks the readers big time.
Leave it to Rohan to fall for a significantly older married undead relative. He almost took Forbidden Love to a new level.
This thing is colored in the loosest terms. There will often be completely uncolored panels or only a couple of colors used at all on some pages. The colorist consistently kept Rohan's lipstick blue, but Rohan wears it inconsistently from panel to panel.
