This review is from: Flock Of Angels Volume 2 (Flock of Angels) (Paperback)

I was first hooked by the title of the book, "Flock of Angels".
And apparently this is one of those rare treasure mangas.

The second book continues where the first left off with the music group 'Angelaid' entrusting Shea with the future of all angels and his strange encounter with a black winged woman only he can sense. It also delves into the past of one of the main faces of the Angelaid operation, how he nearly died from his mother's fear and the dark history of the angelosis virus. As he works with the ministry to help eliminate the discrimination towards angelosis, he helps stop an underground black market that buys and sells 'angels'. He also learns about an orphanage for children with angelosis that is managed by the ministry, and re-encounters the woman with the black wings at a charity event. She abducts him and takes him with her to her sequestered village that no outsider knows about or can find. While everyone on the outside is looking for him, he's learning more about the woman, Aema, and her people.

A beautiful story that parallels the real world in so many ways. Definitely not the average 'pretty angel' story. Angel lovers will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing, but over looked shoujo/sci-fi manga, September 5, 2008

This review is from: Flock Of Angels Volume 2 (Flock of Angels) (Paperback)

Another amazing manga series that's been ignored in book stores.
I was pleasantly surprised that this series didn't cater to the typical young audience with just "pretty boys with wings" as its selling point.

Instead, this series takes on issues on discrimination, ways to overcome it, abuse, illness/extinction, and ultimately procreation.

Since this series is only 3 volumes long, you'd get to see Shea grow up & get to the point with each book. (which is pretty refreshing compared to other series that extends tention, conflict and drama by dragging their feet and keeping their characters ignorant/naive for an unrealistic amount of time).

I highly recommend this for those who are tired of the typical shoujo high school drama, love triangles, and magic power gimicks.

And have high hopes for Aurora Publishing and their choices for released titles with substance, rather than "eye candy".
