Sasmira is a French-Belgian comic book series by Laurent Vicomte. The first tome was published in 1997, and it took the author until 2011 to finish the second one.
Stan is a young Parisian orchestra conductor. One day, in front of his door, he finds an old woman who tells him a mysterious sentence and gives him a beetle-shaped gold ring before dying. He becomes obsessed with finding out who she is, and traces her back to a now-abandoned mansion in the French countryside.
His girlfriend, Bertille, concerned that his single-minded quest is jeopardizing their relationship, decides to help him in order for him to move on eventually. They both go to the mansion, where Bertille puts on a period dress she found. In a room, they see a woman in a strange metallic sarcophagus, apparently in a state of suspended animation. While a storm rages outside, they find refuge in a cellar, and black out after having sex.
When they regain consciousness, they are in a bed. They are still in the mansion, but have somehow ended up in the year 1907...

- Of Corsets Sexy: Bertille gets to wear a tight-laced corset in 1907.
- Scenery Porn: The 1907 scenes are nicely drawn. The chateau in said scenes also looks considerably better than its present day form.

- Though it comes off pretty quickly following the sex scene.
- Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: The mysterious dark-eyed girl at the country house.
- The Little Black Dress: In order to catch Stan's flagging attention, Bertille gets talked by her best friend into putting on a little black dress. It doesn't work but she does look gorgeous in it.
