Hell hath no fury like a heavenly maiden.

Horror, Comedy, and Romance Made in Heaven

Yuu Watase, the immensely popular writer/artist of the shôjo (girl's) fantasy smash Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play, has turned her creativity and wry sense of humor 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!

"Naughty Girls Who Hit Their Husbands Must Be Punished..."

Shocked to learn (from Aki, of all people!) that the entire "Tôya Mizuki" personality is false--a fiction, a cipher without a past of any kind--Tôya struggles to find his own identity. If he doesn't know who he is, how can he help Aya? Elsewhere, while Aya recedes into herself, heartbroken and distraught over her separation with Tôya, Ceres must deal with a bitter and increasingly mad Miori, who blames Aya for everything. Will Aya emerge and face Miori's accusations...or leave her to Ceres? Later, Aki--still fully possessed by the "progenitor," the forefather of all the Mikage--launches a new scheme to claim Aya...his woman.

Came in fast and looks good. A few pages have a few things on them but doesn't effect being able to read or see the illustration.

Bought this book to finish off getting the rest of this series, absolutely love the plot of this comedy, romance, horror. This series will have you screaming at your book, and not wanting to put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ceres
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013
Yuu Watase is an amazing storyteller and draws some gorgeous artwork! She is one of my favorite manga authors and I love everything she has done. The characters in Ceres are amazing and imaginative and extremely easy to relate to. She is able to capture the character's emotions amazingly with a realistic outlook on life. Aya's reaction to finding out about her supernatural powers was real and her ongoing fight through all of her problems strikes the reader as something that would ring true. My favorite character was Touya, hot and mysterious with a little bit of attitude thrown in. The series has gory moments and is dark but everything about life is not always peachy as Yuu Watase truthfully is able to point out.

Note: this review is about volumes 1-14 .

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2004
When i first read this book i could not belive what Aki did to Aya in the Libray of the school and Yuhi. The great thing is Toya starts to get his real memories back If you havent owned any of these books i really think that you should get them their really good. :)
