  So apparently there's a Japanese manga called The Voynich Hotel.
  
  
  Synopsis:
  
  "Welcome to the Voynich Hotel, a rundown resort located on an all but deserted island in the South Pacific. Owned by former Mexican wrestler Kandre Umeda, the hotel is maintained by two mysterious maids, Elena and Beluna, as well as a homicidal chef named Amelia.
  Kuzuki Taizou, a Japanese tourist, comes to stay at the hotel to escape from his dark past. Soon he discovers that the strange occupants and happenings of the island are even more abnormal than what he is used to. Taizou quickly becomes embroiled in the spiderweb of affairs on the island, growing close to many of the residents and helping them out, though often causing even more problems for himself. But when Taizou's past comes to the island to haunt him, his new friends jump to his aid." (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
  
  So far, there are only fan-made translations (for example You are not allowed to view links.

  I don't really know if any part of it has anything to do with the manuscript, but perhaps that gets revealed in one of the chapters.

  Those nymphs have been sexed up a bit!

  This is manga. Those nymphs are probably a demon and a boy in a dress.

  I'm more concerned about that bloke in the painting. Makes Peter Cushing look positively alive!

  I just got through binge-reading it all last night...
  Spoilers ahead:

  There is nothing in there that has anything to do with the manuscript.
  The only tenuous link to anything manuscript related, is the existence of a competing hotel, set up as an illusion by demons, called the Codex Hotel.
  Emma May Smith was not far off the mark with her comment about the maids: they are in fact three-thousand year old Russian witches.
  The demons come to the island to capture the souls of tourists (almost all the "tourists" are yakuza), and are fought off by the witch-maids.
  And sorry davidjackson, there's no explanation about the Peter Cushing-looking guy in the painting either!
  It was a pretty fun read though!

  It's a bit understandable, I've always found that there is some intrinsic sinister sound to the name "Voynich". Kind of like the word "eldritch".
