• Fairy Cube - Yuki Kaori

  Being a big fan of Yuki Kaori's work that I am, I can't believe I only found few weeks ago about her "latest" manga...! tut tut tut... shame on me...

  Fairy Cube (Yousei Hyouhon)- A story about a boy, Ian, who can see fairies since as long as he can remember. And he can also see another self of himself, a boy called Tokage, where no other people could. Therefore no-one believes and but only laughs at him. No-one but Rin, his childhood friend, believes him. In the city he is in, a number of grisly murders occur. These murders are known as the Fairy Murders as the victims have backs slit open, with blood pouring out in the shape of a butterfly's wings. One day, Ian witnessed the Fairy Murders and he obtained a strange cube from the enigmatic man Kaito. And that only led him to find myterious things. In which let him believe even more surely that what he could see all along, the faries, are no illusions. When Rins returned and Tokage got him into trouble, slowly, Ian began to unravel the past and realise who he is, and solved the Fairy Murders.

  Fairy Cube containes 3 volumes and was released in 2005. The scanlation was completed by the Waffle House. There also cotained a "spin-off" story in the last volume, called Psycho Knocker. It is currently being scanalted by Sakura-Cirsis (They are back! yay! Are't they great?! haha!) Only first part is released, we'll just have to look forward to the rest of it~ ^^;

   
   

  It was, of course, a good read~! Yuki Kaori sensei is great, after all! X] Being the queen in gothic manga that she is, Fairy Cube is like her other mangas - a dark and twisted story, and with beautiful gothic style artwork. I do like this manga very much, however, when I was reading it, at the beginning, it does seem to resemble a little bit of Count Cain and Angel Sanctuary. ...especially Angel Santuary~ Well, the major main story is still differnt. But I do think they share some similarites...!
  As always, each of the characters have their own little story, their past and all. My favourite one in this was Kaito and Raven's. May be because when somebody seem to be the bad guy at first, but then it turns out they are actually ...the greatest... it just make it so sad ~>.<~

  Anyways, go check out Fairy Cube, it's great~
  Until next time!
