Get Started On Ceres: Celestial Legend, Vol. 2: Yûhi Narrated By Yuu Watase Presented As Paper Edition
love this series, but rereading it I couldn't help but be annoyed by the instantlove, I hate when it's done that way! I understand the connection is explained later, but why does no one realize how unnatural and quick this is If at some point Aya had thought something about how she didn't understand how these feelings had come so quickly and strongly, etc I would be happier.
You don't have to linger on it, . . but if there is going to be instalove at least take notice of it as such, Salvo por el instalove que Aya siente por Toya, la historia mantiene el interés y el conflicto ya está servido, ya que Ceres parece tomar fuerza y solo ver a Aki es suficiente para que aparezca dispuesta a matarle, así que los hermanos deben permanecer separados hasta encontrar una solución.
I'm really getting into this manga, Ceres is rather interesting, she seems bitchy, but really is just a victim like Aya, probably more so, Toya is developing well as a character, he seems nice enough despite his amnesia, amp he shows a softer side when his thoughts turn to Aya.
Their romance started out bizarre love at first sight but is now developing into a more realistic relationship despite the dangerous circumstances they are both under, which is possibly why Toya distances himself from Aya for her own saftey.
I quite like Toya, he's aloof but he has reason to be, but he is caring, Interesting how Aki is the embodiment of the man who raped Ceres, keen to see how that will play out.
Yuhi I feel for as it's obvious he has feelings for Aya but he will never be with her still, he comes through to her and supports her despite these unrequited feelings.
Mrs Q provides light humor amp the celestrial history is quite insightful, I've docked a star because it doesn't have much action as the first book, but I'm definatly going to carry on reading this horror shojo manga.
Nachdem sie von ihrer Mutter angegriffen wurde ist Aya als Person verschwunden und die Himmelsfee Ceres hat ihren Platz eingenommen.
Skrupellos versucht sie die Familienmitglieder und Verbündeten des MikageClans zu vernichten, doch ihre Kräfte scheinen an Toya abzuprallen.
Als die Situation zu eskalieren droht, taucht Yuhi auf, der sie mit Hilfe eines Kusses in die Schranken weisen kann und Aya wieder die Kontrolle über ihren Körper übernehmen lässt.
Dass sie sich jedoch in eine Himmelsfee verwandelt haben soll ist ihr nicht bewusst, Als sie in Yuhis Haus zurück kehrt hat Aya viele Fragen, doch diese sind schnell vergessen, als ihr Bruder Aki gegen den Willen seiner Familie bei ihr auftaucht.
Alle Sorgen scheinen vergessen, so lang sie nur wieder zusammen sein können, Doch nachts taucht Ceres wieder auf und versucht Aki zu töten, Dabei hat sie ungeheuerliche Anschuldigungen, Denn Aki soll die Reinkarnation des Mannes sein, der ihr einst ihr Federkleid stahl und sie somit zwang auf der Erde zu bleiben.
Ceres will nun jenes Federkleid wieder haben und den MikageClan dem Erdboden gleich machen, Doch wieder kann sie ihren Plan nicht ausführen, da ihr Yuhi und auch Toya dazwischen funken, Als Aya wieder sie selbst ist, versucht sie ihrem Bruder verzweifelt zu folgen, wird jedoch von Toya aufgehalten, der sie mit zu sich nimmt.
Die beiden kommen sich dabei näher und für Aya scheint klar, dass Toya ihr Grund ist, um an ihrem Selbst festzuhalten.
Doch die nächsten Probleme lassen nicht lang auf sich warten, Nicht nur, dass ihr Cousin versucht sie als Himmelsfee für seine Zwecke einzufangen, um sich aller Himmelsfeen zu bemächtigen.
Toya taucht plötzlich in ihrer Schule auf und scheint wie ausgewechselt und dann beginnt eine ihrer Mitschülerinnen damit die Krankenschwester der Krankenstation der Schule in Brand zu setzen.
Yuu Watase hat mit dem zweiten Teil der Geschichte rund um Aya und die Himmelsfee Ceres wirklich wieder ein Meisterwerk geschaffen das sich sehen lassen kann.
Die Situationen kommen Schlag auf Schlag, sodass man gar nicht weiß, wie man das alles verdauen soll, doch es ist spannend und wirklich gut durchdacht.
Neben sehr ernsten Szenen arbeitet Watase mit ausreichend Humor, die den Leser in ein Wechselbad der Gefühle schicken, Man kann den inneren Konflikt den Aya führt regelrecht greifen und hat wirklich Mitleid mit ihr, Wer würde schon gern die Kontrolle über sich selbst verlieren und die verletzen, die man eigentlich liebt Die Geschichte um die Himmelsfee strickt sich auch immer verrückter.
Besonders Ayas Cousin nimmt dabei eine ganz neue und vor allem verrückte Rolle ein, Er will alle Himmelsfeen unterjochen und sich und seinen Clan somit in neue Spähren der Macht bringen und dafür ist ihm jedes Mittel recht.
In diesem Band erfährt man auch mehr über Toya, oder eben auch nicht, Man weiß nun endlich, warum er für die Mikages arbeitet und dass sie scheinbar etwas haben, was er unbedingt wieder erlangen möchte.
Auch Yuhi erzählt ein bisschen aus dem Nähkästchen, sodass der Bursche immer sympathischer wird, Schon recht schnell bemerkt der Leser, dass sowohl Toya, als auch Yuhi sich für Aya interessieren, was durchaus interessant werden könnte.
Was mich persönlich aber noch immer stört sind die Sachen die Watase ihrem Charakter Toya "angezogen" hat, Bauchfrei kann und will ich ihn einfach nicht ernst nehmen, Sicher ist es damals vielleicht cool oder in gewesen, . . , aber jetzt sowas von out, Trotzdem ist der Manga absolut lesenswert und ich freue mich schon auf die weiteren Teile,

:
I have mixed feelings about the second volume of Ceres, On one hand, I love the legend of the Celestial Maiden, Ceres is tormented with rage and longs for revenge against the man who stole her feathered robes, prohibiting her from returning to heaven.
Worse, he violated her, and she bore his children, trapped in an ugly place she couldnt escape from, Now, fate has caused both Ceres and Mikage to both be reincarnated as the twins Aya and Aki, This has never happened before, and shes obsessed with winning her vengeance, Every time she sees Aki, Ceres wrestles control away from Aya and attacks him, even though he has no memories of his previous life.
I find this storyline so compelling, For centuries, Ceress thirst for revenge has kept her trapped, reborn over and over into the Mikage family, only to be discovered and killed during the ritual as her host body turned sixteen.
When I think about how angry I would be after being thwarted time and time again, I am surprised that she hasnt done more damage to the Mikages and their property as yet.
I would have gone absolutely ballistic, leaving the surviving Mikages to deal with harried property insurance adjustors,
Aya, though, is grating on my nerves, Is it really wise to chase after Toya in not much more than her underwear, leaving her defenseless when her evil cousin Kagami gets his paws on her Ugh, ugh, ugh! I would not feel like I was in a position of power in enemy territory while dressed in my panties and a bra.
Ugh! Thats like the nightmare where you forgot to put your clothes on before rushing off to school, And to so ardently declare her love for Toya, a guy she just met, and a guy who works for the people who are trying to kill her Aya, while Yuhi isnt as interesting, he is a lot safer, so maybe you should go for him instead He is more than capable of protecting you, and he can cook! Take him instead!
I was a little bored with this volume.
Whenever Ceres made an appearance or Kagami had page time, I was all interested again, Ceres is fascinating because she reveals little tidbits of her history every time she manifests, and Kagami ah, Kagami, He is just so evil and conniving that you cant help but like, even admire him, just a little bit.
He sees an opportunity for the Mikage family to gain immense power, and hes going to seize it, With both Aki and Aya in his control, there is nothing he cant do, once he figures out how to tame Ceres and her incredible power.
The second volume of Ceres was both irritating and compelling, Aya drives me nuts, but legend of the Celestial Maidens kept me turning the pages,
Grade: C Ugh, my tastes have changed. This is dry and I'm not interested in too much, . . I want to know what happens, but meh, I have the third one which is new content for me, so we'll see what happens, I'm feeling quite guilty on how Aya can't be with her brother, Aki, Yes their twins but when Aya transforms into Ceres bad things happen and Aki gets hurt, When he noticed that Aya was Ceres, my heart sort of broke a little, never been a fan of Manga, though i keep trying it now and again, I love so many aspects of this but I also think the confession of love could have been slightly further down the line wow.
. . so much drama . well not completely drama I love the idea of like a forbin love and they way the twins I think they are :P aren't allowed to see each other.
But I would of liked it more if it didn't lay me a stray because I stopped reading it as it was lagging on a bit BUT I got back into it and now I wish I didn't stop reading These are definitely an easy way to get some reading done and it's likable enough, but again with the zero to I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU in this author's stories.
I don't recall being this annoyed by "love at first sight" couples when I read graphic novels as a teen but dear god I need to remember it's just manga.
The person this volume is named after, Yuhi, is the brotherinlaw of another woman of celestial descent, and it is because of this connection that he comes in contact with Aya.
Toya fans should not be disappointed either, this is a great continuation of the first volume as Aya struggles to master her powers and learn more about herself.
I havend lead syndrome so bad, I prefer Yuhi . i it was a good sequal I am absolutely loving this blend of action, romance, intrigue and paranormal, I can't wait wait to jump into volume, Mir gefällt der Manga sehr gut, Er ist spannend und man kann irgendwie mit fiebern, Aya and her twin brother Aki thought they were going to a celebration of their sixteenth birthday at their grandfather's home, but the funerallike atmosphere tips them off that something's not right.
Their "birthday present" turns out to be a mummified handthe power of which forces an awakening within Aya, and painful wounds all over Aki's body! Grandfather Mikage announces that Aki will be heir to the Mikage fortune, and Aya must die! But Aya has allies in the athletic cook and martial artist Yûhi, and the attractive, mysterious Tôya.
But can even two handsome and resourceful guys save Aya when it's her own power that's out of control,
Sentí un tanto apresurada la historia en este tomo, especialmente lo relacionado con Tooya y Aya,
Está todo bastante más claro ahora, espero que no caiga en un ciclo repetitivo de las mismas dos o tres cosas ocurriendo constantemente.
Read for TBRTakedown.: Sequel book in a series
Hah, Hahaha I hate to rate this so low because I loved this series as a teenager but the instalove just isn't working for me.
I completely forgot how quickly the romantic relationships progressed in this series, Regardless, I still think Toya is majorly attractive but I'm cringing so hard at the fact that Aya already "loves" him.
Also, something that has always confused me is how Yuhi draws Aya's consciousness out when she is Ceres, Out of all the things, it's kissing, Of course it is. Too much weird instalove/lovetriangle/romantic progression for me to fully appreciate this, I know that it gets better soon but the whole romance aspect of it is killing the vibe,
Other than that, I like the way the plot is progressing, You learn more about the charcters' background and history and you also learn about Kagami's ulterior motives which is great.
We're getting into more small storylines within the overarching theme which I'm super excited about,
I also forgot to mention in my review for the first volume how the author has thrown in several Japanese pop culture references, which I find really entertaining.
While I am able to understand them because I am well acquainted with Japanese pop culture, I wish they had footnotes or a reference page at the end of the book that explains all the references because I'm sure people who are new to it will have no idea what the author is referencing to.
So yeah, this volume was only okay but I'm getting amped up because I know shit is going to get real pretty soon.
Reading Ceres again has reminded me why I needed to take a break from Shojo manga and anime, The drawing style is quite beautiful, but our protagonists storyline is quite shallow, one track minded, and overly emotional, I took off a star because of this and I cant help but wonder if this is a product of the time or if this is a common theme across ALL shojo manga, no matter what.
Shounen manga has an overbearing “Boys will be boys” vibe and Shojo has the sickeningly sweet, “Girls just wanna have fun” approach.
I hope this trend doesnt continue for the rest of the series, Honestly don't remember the instalove being so, . . instant. Like dang, girl, you know nothing about him except that he's hot and mysterious and has no memories, but you're throwing around the Lword No build up whatsoever.
I really wish there was a little bit more built into that relationship, 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 characters emotions amazingly with a realistic outlook on life, Ayas 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,
Pas super fan de la romance qui est totalement forcée, mais l'histoire est sympathique et j'ai hâte de voir ce que ça va donner.

This review is also available on sitelinkmy blog,
I dont really know how I feel about this series at the moment, Not very strongly, I do know that, Not very impressed, either, or eager to start the next one, Im sure that it will get better the more I read, though,
So, we saw some more of Aki, Ayas brother, who decides to escape for a little while to find Aya.
Also, Aya is being possessed by Ceres, her ancestor, at times of inconvenience, like when her brother is around and Ceres wants to kill him.
And the only way that Ceres seems to go away is when Yuhi kisses her, which is weird, Also, the romance between Aya and Toya has advanced, which Im not sure is good or bad, I know that its much too fast, too instalove, but Im on the way to accepting it, Aya is also still going to school, some of the time, with Yuhi, which is weird, But, I mean, that seems to always happen, even though, really, whats the point
Anyway, some more bad stuff happened.
Ayas cousin is trying to overthrow her grandfather, which isnt good, and he kidnapped Aya, kind of, at one point.
Im not going to go into too much detail, but notgood stuff is happening, And yet Im also not very excited for it, I dont know.
I am interested in the characters, a bit, I guess, I wouldnt say that I really like anyone, but Im interested in Yuhi, and Suzumi, his sisterinlaw, and Toya him especially, probably, and Aki and Ayas changes.
I do find Mrs. Q, Suzumi and Yuhis servant or whatever, rather entertaining,
This is just alright for the moment, There are still too many italics in the dialogue, which makes it a bit hard, and annoying, to read at times.
Im hoping to get more into it, to enjoy it more, as I get farther into the series, which I think will actually happen.
Well see, anyway. .
