Ceres Celestial Legend Vol.1 – Aya (a.k.a Ayashi no Ceres)
I picked up this manga out of vague interest in Forbidden Planet and
boy was I glad I did! Ceres Volume 1 has beautiful artwork and Sad,
and Funny storyline.
Written by Yu Watase the author of Fushigi Yuugi, Ceres follows the
story of Aya Mikage a 16 year old girl with the blood of the ‘Celestial’
or ‘Heavenly Maidens’ though she doesn’t know this at first.
Due to their linage Mikage children are ‘tested’ at the age of sixteen
to see if the have the power of the ‘Celestial Maidens’ if they do,
they are killed. Aya has that power , her twin brother Aki has a power
to but the Mikages believe his will help them where as Aya’s will
dystroy them.
We are introduced Aya Mikage, and, Aki Mikage, the twins, Grandpa
Mikage, who wants Aya dead, Kagami Mikage, who is very interested
in unlocking the true power of Aya, Suzumi Aogiri, Aya’s fellow Celestial
Maiden, Yuhi Aogiri, The ‘Master Chef’ brother in-law of Suzumi and
Töya, the quite man with no memory of his past and a love for Aya
despite being employed as Bodyguard for the Mikages and being ordered
to kill Aya.
Aya is rescued by Suzumi & Yuhi, but still is desperate to return
Aki to make sure he is safe. She is also in love with Töya. I loved
this story through and through and I hope to get Volume 2 very soon!
