5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful,
This review is from: Tengu-Jin (Paperback)
Tengu-jin has all the elements that made Sumomo Yumeka's other works already released in the U.S. so popular in the Shonen-ai / boys love community - beautiful watercolor art, delicate relationships, subtle emotions and complex characters. Perhaps what makes Tengu-jin better than "The Day I Became and Butterfly" and "Single Cell Organism" is that the story can be enjoyed by shojo / shounen readers as well, making it available to a wider and more diverse readership. Since there is already a very nice summary of the manga written on baka-manga updates, I'll just quote it below as follows:
Tengujin is a story about two twin brothers who live in a slightly futuristic Japan. Eastern and Western Japan are splitting apart and have formed two warring nations. In this "idiot adult's world", many social issues press on society and drove it to war. Gods of the world, mainly tengu, influence the start and end of the events that lead to war such as Japan splitting into two, so the younger twin, Mozuku, desires to end the idiotic war that the adults started and meets with the God of the West (Sai) with his older brother, Shinonome. Zanouka, the second story in Tengujin, is about the former incarnations of Mozuku and Shinonome. Mozuku is a young bard who is the inheriting son of a feudal lord of a dead mountain with only poor people remaining on it. He keeps a rigid, realistic perspective on life and refuses to believe in things like tengu. While cleaning the tengu's small shrine, his beautiful voice attracts the attention of the tengu of the mountain, Tondonbou (Shinonome's former incarnation), who hides half of his face behind a mask. After meeting the tengu, Mozuku sets to seeking him out again, wanting to see what was hidden behind that mask. As you can see, for those who enjoy apocalyptic action, historical mythology, fantasy, adventure and drama, Tengu-jin is sure to be a great series to read up on. ^_^
