Touken Ranbu Anthology ~ Hibana Chirase, Touken Danshi ~
Lost Angel
1996. Really interesting concepts the author played with. Angels & Demons have been done before but they're always a personal favorite. I wish there had been more explanation in the story's lore of how angels, demons in human bodies works. More defining of the spirits, their world, & the mingling of ours would've invested & fascinated me more. What are spirits? Can they die? Is a spirit in a human body restricted to the same physicalities? How do they die? Where do they go when they die, back to heaven or hell? How are spirits able to enter our world? Who can see them? Are they able to shapeshift or can they only possess someone? What's the difference between a regular human & a spirit in human form, do they just have super powers or smth? Technically, some panels & the actions depicted were hard to visually understand. Not good visual flow or direction. One panel, a character is jumping in the air, next they're kneeling on the ground. With nothing to lead the eye, I wonder how they got there. I wish they would pull camera back & use bigger panels, not only for impact, but to get a clear understanding of the situation/ environment/ actions.
