Yuu Watase, the immensely popular writer/artist of the shojo (girls) fantasy smash Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, has turned her creativity and wry sense of humour to the horror genre with her anime/manga hit Ceres: Celestial Legend. Aya thought she was a normal teenager until she discovered that she can transform into a vastly powerful "heavenly maiden" named Ceres...But Ceres is furious and out for revenge! Hell hath no fury...or, in this case, Heaven, as it's a celestial maiden or "ten'nyo" who's unleashing it! The search for Ceres' hagoromo or "celestial robes" brings the action back to Tokyo - to Miyagi, specifically, where rumours of a spectral white dog ("figuring in the celestial legend!," says Suzumi) prompt a transfer to girls-only high school for Aya, Chidori, and...Yuhi?! Connected to the dog's increasingly frequent attacks is a sweet and popular girl named Maya Hirobe, but why - and more importantly, how - is she involved? Is it possible that Maya is a C-Genome...and doesn't even know it?

About the Author
A manga artist for over ten years, Yuu Watase's debut came in 1989 at the age of 18 when her short story Pajama de Ojama (An Intrusion in Pajamas) appeared in the monthly Sh?jo Comic manga anthology. Since then she has written and drawn some 50 volumes worth of different short stories and long-running manga series, including the fantastically popular Fushigi Y?gi, also available in English from VIZ.

Ceres: Volume 7,
By
This review is from: Ceres: Celestial Legend, Vol. 7: Maya (Paperback)
I was so glad to finally found this book, as Ceres has taken a while to come out in America. In the book, Aya Mikage continues her search for the Celestial Maiden's (ceres) hagoromo. She travels to the Miyami Prefecture with Yuuhi and the two begin searching in an all-girls school there. This manga is much better than the others in some respects. More clues are gained to Tooya's past, and he and Aya have their first fight. It's an exciting piece of the story, and you won't want ot miss it. You will want book 8, however, as soon as you finish reading this.

What a book!,
This review is from: Ceres: Celestial Legend, Vol. 7: Maya (Paperback)
The number 7 book problably was the best Ceres book I've read. It shows how the characters feelings were brought out for a reason. Even though I'm against sex before marraige, it made the story interesting and a part of Ceres. If you wanna buy a book, buy this one.In this book,Aya Mikage travels with Yuhi, Shuro and Chidori to Miyagi and meet a girl named Maya and her dog who may have been possessed by an ancestral maiden. Later in this book Aya finally makes Tooya reveal his feelings for her. Also, he's finally starting to remember his past. Aya is as supportive as ever, but breaks Yuhi's heart when he found out the person he loves slept with his "rival".That's what I call a love triangle. itcertainly is a good book full of drama and romance. IT'S AWESOME!!!!!

More secrets are revealed in here, we learn a little more about Toya, and more about the C-Genome and how it can affect people.
