Yuu Watase, the immensely popular writer/artist of the shojo (girl's) 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! No more deception, no more lies - now that Aya and Toya have finally let down all their barriers and come together, that is. But will something else - something outside their love - tear them apart? Miori Sahara seems a nice enough girl - goes to Aya's school, has a lot in common with Aya...looks a lot like Aya, actually. She says she's searching for her missing boyfriend, who's been gone a year now. After an accident robs Toya of his memories, will Aya turn to Yuhi once Toya goes back to his "real" girlfriend, Miori? A love like Aya and Toya's is supposed to last forever...has everything that's happened between the two of them this past year been a lie after all?

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. Her works have provided the basis for two television series, an OVA series, anime soundtrack CDs, and a string of novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great manga!,
This review is from: Ceres, Celestial Legend, Vol. 8: Miori (Paperback)
This is a really good book, and you should read it. It looks into Toya's and Aya's relationship and Yuhi's affection for Aya. A girl who looks just like Aya shows up, apparently Toya's girlfriend from before, and Toya gets hit by a car while in shock from seeing Miori again. He regains his memory from before... but he loses all memories of his year with Aya. There's also a teeny bit of comedy from Yuhi's 'emotional breakdowns' concerning his jealousy, enough so you don't end up screaming or crying at the end, or something.
However, if you buy this volume, you MUST buy the next one. This one's last few pages are the most intense part in the whole book, with a bit of build-up, but not that much. It also gives you a huge cliffhanger, and I pretty much ran around in a panic trying to get the next volume. Save yourself the pain :D.

Amazing, as usual,
By Julia Rose (Virginia Beach) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ceres, Celestial Legend, Vol. 8: Miori (Paperback)
Yu Watase never fails to deliver, and this book is no exception. Dramatic, enticing, eloquent, heart-wrenching, beautifully tragic. What more can I say? Yu Watase does push some emotional buttons here, taking her well-developed characters to the max and putting them in situations that show their true colors(especially Yuhi...read the book, and you'll see what I mean). If you've seen the anime and think you don't need to read the manga, you're completely wrong...So much was left out of the tv series...The characters really are taken to a whole new level(especially Shuro,in my opinion(but that's another book, not this one...). Please check this out. I can guaruntee you will NOT be dissappointed, maybe a little depressed...Just prepare yourself for angst and turmoil^^;!

Blast from the past!,
By M "CultOfStrawberry" (I wait behind the wall, gnawing away at your reality) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Ceres, Celestial Legend, Vol. 8: Miori (Paperback)
Talk about a blast from the past, in this case, Toya's past as he encounters a girl who was with him before he lost his memory... of course, this can only lead to problems between Aya and Toya... definitely not a volume to miss! Be forewarned, the last few pages are intense, and you will WANT to have the next volume on hand before you finish this otherwise you will be screaming from the cliffhanger!
