March Comes in Like a Lion and Dear Brother are prominent examples of Synesthesia extracted from manga. Analyzing their visuals, it is clear that the use of colour and sound describing other kinds of sensory or even mood, consequently amplifying the expression implied by the art techniques found previously in their sources' black and white panels - such as the 'bubbles' used in a lot of 3-gatsu no Lion pages, also considerably common on Ikeda's work, along with her extravagant highlights and distortions - can be compared in the means they reflect these tendencies Riyoko Ikeda brought to the genre, but for the audiovisual, and interestingly enough, because of the way this was translated to a less sumptuous, yet almost equally effective abstraction in Shinbou's directing fashion. Even though a lot of it can be said about The Rose of Versalhes, there are so much more convergences in themes and narrative styles which can be found in Oniisama, that is fair to say this could not fit better as a measurement of how much these idiosyncrasies evolved because, as I'd like to point out, Dear Brother's melodrama is closer to the approach of Chika Umino (for being fairly more delicate, I should say), and the story revolves around it's cast just as much.
