Wai~~~
I love Angel Sanctuary. Yeah I got the manga.
It's really more than the incest between Setsuna and Sara. It's not presented in a hentai fashion. They really really DO love each other. They just happened to be siblings, that's all.
And if you want to be really picky about it, they aren't even real siblings in their souls...after all, Setsuna was Alexiel before, and Sara was...*cough* Let's not spoil it.
XD
I just adore this manga. It has exquisitely twisted pairings, stretching even the definition of yaoi and yuri. After all, if one has a female soul reincarnated in a male identity, and then ending up in a female body no thanks to an "accident", is that person female or male or what???
...yeah I know, it's making my head hurt.
And I adore the warped reflections of the angels portrayed here.
Raphael, the beautiful one, reduced to being a lecherous womanising playboy who treats women with contempt, tossing them aside like toys after playing with them.
Michael, one of the archangels, a spoilt stubborn little boy with a volcanic temper and a small mind, with a craving for violence.
Metatron, the First of the archangels, a childish little boy with the innocence of newborn babe, willingly manipulated by others.
This is beautiful. Not to mention I love the artwork.
*squeals* Uriel, Angel of Death, is HOT.
...yes and he's male. See, I can also squeal over guys as I do over girls.
And since we've gotten to that, Alexiel is really really one gorgeous woman. Sigh. No wonder Rosiel loves his sister in that sick twisted way of his...although I think he's rather happy with Katan now. XD
(and yes Rosiel and Katan are both male...see, there's yaoi! haha)
Let's see, the others I really like are:
Sakuya Kira! He's hot! I like his hair. ^__^ I'm a sucker for hair like that.
And yeah, my weakness for pretty boys strikes agan. Sometimes I really wonder...
Katou Yue isn't so bad really, he reminds me visually of Sha Gojyo from Saiyuki, especially around the eyes, when he wears that bandana around his head. Kinda cool really, and the wi---*clamps hands over mouth*
Must...not...reveal...spoilers...
Lol.
Although my current favorite character has GOT to be Belial, alias the Mad Hatter. She's cool! Yeah, even though she looks like absolutely androgynous (flat chested to boot), but then again, this is a shoujo manga to begin with, androgynity is pretty normal.
*pauses* Wait, my favorite character is a female AGAIN?
...Damn. This time I thought it would be a guy too. Aw well.
Yeah, Belial kicks ass. Love the third person way of speaking, "one does one's best". Hehe.
And in the end, "one is a demon, after all". You tell them, Belial! Haha.
Meh, the plot is really engrossing. I really like this kind of story. Haha. The more twisted, the better.
And I particularly enjoy how the demons are portrayed. As they should be, they betray each other and even their own Lord, Lucifier, without a second thought, if only to serve their own desires. That's how demons should be, and I like how it's done here. There is no redeeming light for them, for they are fallen, ex-angels bathed in the taint of Hell.
Even Astarte, who for a few moments seemed like a "good person", was exposed to be truly mad, after all. Astaroth, the bloodthirsty brother, isn't much better. They're all insane down there. And I'm not too sure about Belial either, that twistedness of the love she bears for Lucifier, that "in the instant the love is gratified, it will be gone, destroyed".
All these fallen angels are a disturbed bunch.
...although, not like the angels still "up there" are in their right minds, either.
Rosiel is mad. Not really his fault there though. Katan went mad for awhile, but he got over it...or really? He's obsessed with Rosiel though.
Raphael is corrupt, Michael is volatile and unstable, Gabriel is "out of commission", Metatron is essentially a useless puppet...it goes on.
And what of the almighty God? Asleep, apparently.
The experimenter, who, regardless of the results, was obsessed with creating a replica of the holy Adam Kadmon, a blend of the positive and negative energy influences...and has only succeeded once, with the twins: Organic Angel Alexiel, and Inorganic Angel Rosiel.
Cain and Abel, reborn again.
Except Alexiel is Cain, and Rosiel is Abel. And this time, Alexiel couldn't bring herself to kill her dear brother Rosiel, who was so loved by God, and instead sealed him into the earth instead.
The Inorganic Angel Rosiel, whom God so loved, to the exclusion of his twin, the Organic Angel Alexiel. The one who was cast aside, forbidden to even enter Aziliuth, the heavenly plane, kept separate from her twin brother Rosiel.
All she had wanted was to be loved by God too. Was that too much to ask?
In the end, every character in the story just really wanted something to love. Even in their own twisted ways, warped and defiled as they were, they wanted to love and be loved.
No wonder this is a shoujo manga...
My other favorite character isn't even human, angel or demon. It's simply a spirit. Haha. Otherwise possessing "Sakuya Kira", the sword spirit, bound with Lucifel's soul...
...oh great, why do I always like the bad guys?!? Lol.
But then again, there are no good guys here in this manga. The closest person who come close to being "good" is Raziel. I would have said Katan, but some of his actions are a bit...hmm. He did, after all, sacrifice a whole bunch of innocent human lives in order to break Rosiel's seal.
Sara would be the next candidate, but look, she's in an incestous relationship with her brother. That makes the definition of "good" a little shaky, no? But doubtlessly, even with that, she is still an "innocent". Just like Kurai is.
And going back to the point of the manga where I am, at Volume 11...WTF Asmodeus is in love with Belial, who is herself in love with Lucifel/Lucifier who is *cough*
I said no spoilers damnit. Lol.
Ahh, whatever, time to get back to reading. ^__~
