Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Shocked to learn (from Aki, of all people!) that the entire "Toc;ya Mizuki" personality is false - a fiction, a cipher without a past of any kind - Toc;ya struggles to find his own identity. If he doesn't know who he is, how can he help Aya? Elsewhere, while Aya recedes into herself, heartbroken and distraught over her separation with Toc;ya, Ceres must deal with a bitter and increasingly mad Miori, who blames Aya for everything. Will Aya emerge and face Miori's accusations...or leave her to Ceres? Later, Aki, still fully possessed by the "progenitor," the forefather of all the Mikage, launches a new scheme to claim Aya...his woman.

About the Author

has written and drawn some 50 volumes worth of different short stories and

long-running manga series, including the fantastically popular Fushigi

Yûgi, also available in English from VIZ. Her works have provided the

basis for two television series, an OVA series, anime soundtrack CDs, and a

string of novels.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ceres, Celestial Legend, Vol. 12 (v. 12) (Paperback)

This book honestly made me feel like how could yu watase write this book so sad, but then I read the last volume (volume 14) and i said "Now I know why she wrote this book the way she did, and I wish that everyone could read the 14th book and be as happy as I am now". Yu Watase is the best artist and writer that I know.

When i first read this book i could not belive what Aki did to Aya in the Libray of the school and Yuhi. The great thing is Toya starts to get his real memories back If you havent owned any of these books i really think that you should get them their really good. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of My Favorites (A bit of a spoiler, warning), February 24, 2005

By	J. O'Connell "Razzy Girl" (US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ceres, Celestial Legend, Volume 10: Monster (Paperback)

Another uniquely Yuu Watase manga.

Ten was another one, like 5, where everything happens at once, but it is a better one to leave off on if you have too.

Poor Aya is alienated, the people in school think she is a slut because of Aki, and to keep Yuhi safe she has to be terribly mean to him. She is really alone with Shurro and Chidori gone. But it isn't all bad Toya realizes, again, it doesn't matter that he doesn't remember Aya a part of his heart does and that is enough. Aya saves Toya by destroying the hypnosis machine that took Toya's memories, so he remebers her. He comes to save her and Alec helps them both to make an escape.

Alec poor thing felt bad about what he did to Toya and couldn't do that to Aya. He is so cute isn't he.

This one at the end is like an action movie. The illustrations are just gorgeous. I am waiting for 11.
