Ooooooh yay i like this topic

I have one manga that i've read before and i don't think its mainstream since its hard to find it...well online that is, but i got the manga version.

The Name of it is "Earthian" by Yun Kouga *Warning its shounen ai*

volume 1 cover of Earthian

The story was based on an almost apocalyptic world, where humans live and angels are also there too. The angels gather information on humanity, one group for the positivity from humanity and the other group is the negativity. Each pair have a negative and positive angel to gather the data. Though the main pair is 2 male angels but one of them has black hair and wings, which in the angel society is consider like the "cancer" that when angles go bad or have commited a sin of sorts, they eventually have black hair and wings and die. Though for some reason one of them was born with it. So cutting to the chase the story (which spands to only 5 volumes) depicts humanity, different loves, a littly about psychology, and also the ending of humanity in a sense. Though there wasn't action as much but it develops the characters really nicely and there some mysterious events that lead to the current situation. THe manga also deals with forbidden love, that even though the angels can only have babies an xxxxx amount of years and thus were dying out too, but the key to their survival is also about the black cancer.


Though i have to warn that it does show some shounen ai, not explicitly but just a touch of it.

Pros: story is developed nicely, it also shows a lot subjects for you to think through and observe. Seriousness but also a tint of humor to lighten up some areas. Lovely simplistic art, that doesn't require a whole lot of details but just the slight strokes of ink gives a lot of meaning.Nice subtlety in the writing without feeling the need to shove it in your face, the author also wrote it in a way knowing that her readers will understand her stories without blatancy

Cons: some people might not like shounen ai *even though i think any mature person could read through it and not be disgusted* some parts may be slow.

Ummm yea....i think i lost myself in the summary, i suck lol. But right now i can't find any online source that people could read, but i'll do show the covers *and the covers was redrawn for a 2nd release in 2002*

Ok first is Seto no Hanayome. I've only read a little of the manga because I watched the anime first.

The story begins with middle schooler Nagasumi going to visit his grandma. He "decides" to take a swim in the beach and finds himself drowning without anyone to help. Just before he passes out, he sees a mermaid come to his rescue. He wakes up to find himself alive on the beach. He tells his whole family about what he saw but no believes him. Everything changes when the a cute girl who looks exactly like the mermaid who rescued Nagasumi arrives that very night and in front of is family, tells him to "take responsiblitiy for what happened that afternoon."

The anime is extremely funny to me and a real good stress killer. I think the manga is the same as the anime but if you watched the anime first like me, the manga art would kinda surprise you. There's not much cons for anime/manga except that it could get kinda corny and times but other than that, it's very entertaining.

Read it on onemanga and see what you think.
