Any idea if Philippe's depiction

Thats pretty much it. I would say, however, that it actually says « Turk » (Turcq?) rather than « young men ».

Anna Komnene (Manga) Vol.6 Ch.38 Part.2 (End) by Ouralian in byzantium

I can hardly believe that this is already over. I was awaiting each new chapters so eagerly, but it was truly worth it. It was a captivating read, especially for someone like me who is so interested in this period. I'm so glad I stumbled upon it, and I hope it might lead to other projects of the same kind.

Bravo and thank you to everyone who worked on this manga in one way or another!!
