Cereah's manga / #favorite(10)

I love the fact that the both of them were unexperienced virgins lol<3

I loved all of these stories, but I feel the first one needs more clarifying ^.^;; My favorite is the four-clover one. I srsly can't get enough of this authors artstyle and stories. (>_<)// Ah, the feels.

I really hope that they'll come out with the next chapter soon. This plot is really one-of-a-kind. And the slow pacing and development is making my heart beat faster with every chapter ahaha.

I liked the first couple, but the second couple was too cute! Haha and I really thought that Mikuni was the seme at first, but he certainly wasn't! And I love that Tsuchiya is kind of kuudere. He and Mikuni fits together so well like that ~<3

Best long-term shounen-ai manga I've ever read! Rakan and Chigusa's relationship was a first for me in a shounen-ai. They were so honest and pure about themselves and each other. Every little interaction between those two made me especially giddy and happy. I wish there was more to this manga. They really pulled at my heartstrings at the end there. I love everything about this manga. The build-up, the plot, the characters and their development. Every little thing made a quite good impression on me.

Now this is a manga I only ever dream about: A perfect blend of Natsume Yuujinchou and D. Gray-man(my two top favorite manga/anime) with it's own original additions to the supernatural and shounen genre. You got your main characters Ashiya Hanae and Abeno Haruitsuki, which are polar opposites but still dependent on one another in many ways. What started out as a purely coincidental, give and take only, involvement, has developed into a beautiful friendship amongst those two. With more give rather than take. (Still, I AM a part time fujoshi, that's why I can't help but ship those two, but that's another story.) Like in NYC, they're humans who can see yokai, and are heavily involved with yokai daily. You would think it would go the shoujo route with the first two volumes of daily yokai-encounters, no plot progression and ambiguous explanations, but it's more to it than it seems. It's more than just heartwarming plot and precious relations, there actually is something underlying shounen content lurking in between the lines. Though for a supernatural, yokai-exorcising shounen, it's pretty bright. With bright characters and bright monsters with relatable, human-like personality. Even the exorcising is spoken brightly of, while exorcising is portrayed much darker in DGM, Fukimono promises a better life in the intricately detailed, but in the same time ambiguous; 'Underworld'. A concept which I can't seem to have encountered more than a few, rare times (Bleach, Beelzebub, Nuranomago?). For all the shounen enthusiasts, please hang on! Though it's not as straightforward as other shonen manga, it's definitely worth a read. The manga makes up for the lack of shonen characteristics in the later volumes. Thinking back Kazawa has been really discreet with hints here and there of the underlying plot since the beginning, but that only adds on to the suspense. Every little detail counts. You'll get your villains and fight scenes, just... keep on reading x] All in all, this manga is a "All-In-1"- package. It has risen to my top manga reads in just a weeks, and now I'm pretty stoked about the second season of the anime :D (This turned out more of an review than a simple comment omg. Just shows ya'll how amazing this manga is ^^)

Read this way back. Feeling nostalgic about everything from the manga to the anime. Sigh . Sai :(

A manga non like any other manga. Based in the city of Baghdad, ruled by the sultan who turned to tyranny because of his past. Then cue his future half, which makes his entrance in disguise as a part of the sultans harem to spare his sisters life. To avoid another virgin slaughter he seduces the sultan with a story and a promise to tell him stories each night. No longer a part of the harem, but the royal bard, the storyteller eases in to the mind of the tyrant himself and slowly but surely reveals the scarred child behind. Can I just say that this manga is a masterpiece? From the plot to the characters and the relationship which slowly develop between the sultan and his storyteller. It's certainly not one of those in your face couple's and the manga is more plot-driven than your average shounen ai. The stories themselves are very good and refreshing(as I suck at history, and haven't read the original OAON), and relevant to the characters and their development. Yes, they do halt the original plot, but it's not annoying. It keeps the suspense up and the readers on the edge of their seats. It may in a sense be called a filler, but it makes also sense to say it's not. Unlike your typical fillers, the couple themselves are also engaged in the stories, they develop and shows it has an effect on the original plot. Which is what makes this OTAON esque manga so unique. The art is beautiful, and even entrancing at times. It stays relevant to the era and the several locations. (Although there certainly is a lack of dark skinned characters.) [SPOILER] The ending was perfect. A great conclusion to this roller coaster of a manga. I'm a sucker for happy endings (like who isn't?), but I want to admit that it wouldn't be any less amazing and spectacular if the sultan hadn't survived. The death was a great character development for Sehara. Then again I also loved the input of Sharyar's love for books and stories as he travels the east -- the effect of Sehara's influence. I just love everything about this manga. It was one of those great reads you know. Never to be forgotten. Def worth a re-read in the future.
