YAY!!!,
By Anime Dork "big_time_anime_dork" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bride of Deimos, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
oooh, me likes, me likes and wants more!!! Yes, it is quite wonderful to see beautiful classics like this come from Japan. This is some serious old school manga from the seventies, back when the characters' eyes defied logic with sparkles!! I mean, these people have got some humongous, glittery eyes, and a whole lotta hair. In other words, the art is gorgeous. Plus, at the same time its got this creepy feel to it and each story plays out as an individual horror story that links together into one tragic and exciting tale. The story is about a girl named Minako. A demon has showed up out of nowhere claiming that she is his bride. It turns out this demon has been searching for the reincarnation of his long lost love, and they are mythological beings that were forsaken by the gods. Apparently, the two lovers had been twins, brother and sister, and as punishment for their sins, the brother was turned into a demon and the sister was sent to the world of the dead where her body is slowly rotting away. Which leads us back to the main character Minako who is the sister's reincarnation, and the only way to bring his sister back is to kill Minako and give her body in place of his sister's rotting one. So now the demon, Deimos has a bit of a dilemna because in order to be with either his sister or Minako, one will have to be sacrificed (well in in his sister's case, she will just continue to rot away if he doesn't hurry and help her). So anyway, this is a cool story and I enjoyed all the japanese fork lore added into the chapters in addition to the whole thing between Minako and the twins. This being such an old manga, you can see where many newer popular mangas may have gotten their ideas. The forbidden love between brother and sister and the troubles that resulted made me immediately think of Angel Sanctuary. In addition, the idea of choosing between your original love or your love's reincarnation who is so similar yet so different reminded me of Inu Yasha and the love triangle between the hot headed dog demon, Kagome, and Kikyou. Yes, all good series that should be checked out... but I digress. Anyway, please read this series and enjoy! :D

Shoujo horror at it's finest!,
By tokyodoll (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bride of Deimos, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
It's wonderful to see classic shoujo manga stories like this being published in the USA! The main story develops slowly throughout this many volume series and is tucked away - hidden like a mystery - within the short horror stories collected in each manga volume. The artwork is amazing and beautiful, but like other older shoujo series from the 70s being released in the USA now (Banana Fish, etc.), it develops and gets better with each volume. In many ways it started the whole shoujo horror craze and the storytelling style - of telling the main story within a collection of short stories - can be seen in other shoujo manga and anime horror series like "Tokyo Babylon" and "Vampire Miyu". And if you enjoyed the subtle horror of "Tokyo Babylon" and "Vampire Miyu", you should also enjoy this classic gothic horror series, the "Bride of Deimos".

I bought the book "Bride of Deimos vol. 2" and the description was "like new" but the moment I opened the book, the whole cover, back cover and binding fell apart.
