Yuuhi Aogiri is a fairly regular guy living in Japan. He's popular at school, knows martial arts, and can cook pretty darn well too. But his whole life changes one day when his sister-in-law Suzumi, a dance teacher, asks him to pick up someone for her one day. So, Yuuhi goes off and ends up rescuing Aya Mikage, a sixteen-year-old girl in a seriously bad sitch. Aya is a direct descendant of the celestial maiden named Ceres. However, Ceres only wants revenge on the man who wronged her and stole her robes, and she vows to "destroy all the Mikage". Without the robes, Ceres is unable to return to heaven. Aya's life is changed forever on her sixteenth birthday when her family tries to kill her. But Aya manages to escape, and she comes to live at Aogiri household, though every day worries about her twin brother, Aki, who was taken away from her on her birthday. Aya begins to grow on Yuuhi. A lot, actually. The scene in which they're getting to know one another is so cute. Yuuhi is still acting pretty skitzy whenever Toya (Aya's rescuer and object of her affections) is around, though. Toya and Aya fans won't be disappointed with this volume, either! :)

Yu Watase will always be one of my favorite comic artists for doing this seies. She keeps Ceres: Celestial Legend going along smoothly and leaves you wanting more at the end, like any good comic series would. The characters are really great and they fit so nicely into the series. I would definately recommend this series to you.
In this installment, Aki goes to the Aogiri's house to finally be reunited with his twin sister again. Unfortunatley, Ceres attacks him because he's {she believes} the man who stole her Celestial robes {hagoromo}!! So Aki has to go back to the Mikages. Aya, after this unfortunate accident, spends some lovey-dovey time with Toya. When that's over, Aya follows Toya to the Mikage corporation, only to be attacked by Kagami so Ceres can come out. And unfortunately, she does.
I higly recommend this series to you.

The first work of Yuu Watase I read was Fushigi Yuugi, which kept me always wanting for more. When I found out about Ayashi No Ceres, I knew I had to read it.

And, was I surprised about it!

This totally goes in a different way than FY. Although we have our classic teenager, Aya, trying to find her way in the world, it is so different when she's in a constant hunt by their own family, but most of all by the inner force inside her. It really takes inside the story, and keeps you in it. I would say it's more mature than any other of Watase's works (there's some killing going on), but nonetheless it's part of the story-line, and what makes you understand the feeling and the situation Aya is living. We also have our comic relief there.

If you love mystery, humor and romance, this is a must-read for you!

I guess I'm reviewing the series because i couldnt find the first one for sale on this site. But i have to tell you right now, if you havn't read these books you are sorely missing out on one of the best written Mangas I know of. I won't tell you much about it( i wouldn't want to ruin it for you. . ) but i can say that it holds something different for everybody. But i will sasy one small thing, GET THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! Ok..(this is what happens when i spend the day reading manga) heh. . that wasn't small but i really couldn't help myself. .Well, happy reading, I got books to enjoy!

Yuu Watase has done it again! Her beautiful art and wonderful story telling make me want to read more and more. I love the conflict which is represented here. The story is beautiful and mysterious. For those who loved Fushigi Yuugi, you're in for a better and more beautiful story! And more bishis!!! ^^

Amazing...simply amazing. Watase has outdone herself again. The story is deep, enriching, engaging, and powerful. Unexpected twists and turns...WITHOUT being overdone! Watase seems to know when to do what. As usual, her side columns are hillarious, and the art is gorgeous. Book 2 goes even deeper in the character development and storyline. NOT recomended for youngsters, but anyone who is mature enough to handle Ayashi no Ceres (Cere: Celestial Legend) will not regret buying this work of art. There's not much I can say to glorify this manga to the extent it deserves without spoiling the elements Watase has incorporated into her story, but I will say that nothin is overdone. The horror aspect has not been beaten to death (as titles such as X/1999 have), the romance does not drive the entire plot, and humor is added when the book seems to be gettign too dark. Sure the price is a little steep, but with a manga this great, who cares?!

The person this volume is named after, Yuhi, is the brother-in-law of another woman of celestial descent, and it is because of this connection that he comes in contact with Aya. Toya fans should not be disappointed either, this is a great continuation of the first volume as Aya struggles to master her powers and learn more about herself.

I'm realy reviewing Ceres 1 through 3, and I must say This is one of the best Manga I have liked. The comedy and sexual tention combined is hilarious. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes genre: suspence, slight horror, comedy, Fighting, and slight sci fi. Also I recamend this for anyone who is into Inuyasha, Cresent Moon, Tokyo Mew Mew, Immortal Rain...
note: All those titles are titles of Manga, Inuyasha as I know is also an Anime, I'm not sure about the others. Anyway, Ceres is great!

I can appreciate the beautiful artwork in this book. I truly love it, it is much better than some other manga/anime that is out there. I recomend this book for teens and older because of some of the...sensuous concepts. But its nothing too raunchy. It is wonderful, has a good plot, unlike some manga, and the characters are die hard! I bought this book with a glance at the pages, hoping it would be good, and the story line as well as the great illistrations took my breath away. I wanted to keep on reading to the next book. I seriously hope you look into it, you won't be let down!!!!

this book is my favorite book out of all of the ones that I bought. thats because its one of the most interesting books that I have read in my life. this book is when ceres meats all the other characters.
