I'm just going to review this first volume instead of adding every single one, though I've read the entire series and it only gets better. One of the great epics of our time. Totally irreverent and creatively blasphemous. Incest, angel sex, astral drugs, divine tattoos, a psychotic God, aborted tentacle-babies, apocalyptic battles, sword magic, nuns Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 uzis View 1 comment. I shall give you the most exquisite nightmare. This review is for the series, volumes This series was quite a ride. I can't believe Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 didn't make it a point to finish it sooner, having only made it to volume 11 years ago. Well, I rounded up the rest of the volumes and buckled down and now I'm done. First, here's a picture I drew of Kira a long time ago. He's one of my favorite characters, which I shall give you the most exquisite nightmare. He's one of my favorite characters, which should be Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 since he's Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 dark and tall and a delinquent and has a scar in the shape of a bloodstain. Oh, and he's totally hot. Your face… your hair… your body… your blood… Must I tear you apart over and over again? Setsuna Mudo, an idiot boy in love with his sister, is the latest reincarnation of Organic Angel Alexiel. He and his friends get caught up in the war between Heaven and Hell, with their connections to each running deeper than they ever could have dreamed. Unfortunately, Setsuna is the most annoying boy on heaven and earth. And hell. He's Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 there, too. He's always yelling rude things at people, even when he loves them and they're dying. And he's fond of telling bad guys he'll never forgive them for this or that. Like the bad guys even care! They're evil angels with epic agendas, after all. The seven vices I love. Envy, destruction, affliction, captivity, famine, chaos, ruin. They are all sweet poison. Born from my mouth. However, I do love several of the other characters. Like Kira. And Lucifer duh. Even Alexiel, while not given much screen time, is pretty awesome. Everyone loves and hates each other, making for quite the monstrous love web. The angels are not completely good and the demons But sometimes in a fun way. It's no mystery why I like Zaphikel, is it? I mean, that long hair and that priest outfit Live as you want. You are never alone. The storyline is pretty awesome. It's suitably biblical while also being inventive. Angels are warriors, technology is spliced with organic matter, love is forbidden, motives are often unclear, and God is view spoiler [a motherfucking crazy asshole, but that's not actually a surprise hide spoiler ]. The above picture is of Kira and Kato. Oh, and Setsuna's there on the bottom. Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 teared up at the end. No tears actually fell, but they were there, in my eyes. In the afterword, the author mentioned that 'd written an Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 ending that she decided not to use. I wish I could read it! I really recommend this series if you can get your hands on it. We will meet again. Somewhere, somehow in the great pool of time. View all 6 comments. Feb 15, Mizuki rated it liked it. Even though I don't Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 the first volume is all that awesome, still Miss Kaori Yuki, whom I worship night and day, quickly improved a great deal in the later volumes!

Review for complete series No matter how hard he tries, Setsuna always manages to run into trouble, and his love for his sister is just one of many things that seem to be going wrong. It is only when two demons appear and make his life an even bigger mess that Setsuna comes to realise all his misfortunes might be linked Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 the fallen angel Alexiel. I would definitely consider Angel Sanctuary a great and classic . But for all that, I am sure it does not appeal to everyone. In addition to the i Review for complete series No matter how hard he tries, Setsuna always manages to run into trouble, and his love for his sister is just one of many things that seem to be going wrong. In addition to the incestuous relationship between Setsuna and his sister Sara, there are drugs and alcohol, gruesome murders and mutilations, rape, child murder, a twisted view on religion and god, suicide, characters whose minds turn grotesque and obsessive - the list goes on. These are subjects that might be very appealing to some, but also very problematic for others. Angel Sanctuary, Vol. 1 by Kaori Yuki

Appearing as a serial in the Japanese manga magazine from the 5 July issue to the Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 October issue, it follows Setsuna Mudo, a human teenager who, as the reincarnation of a prominent angel who rebelled against Heaven, becomes entangled in political machinations between the angels and demons. The chapters were collected and published in twenty bound volumes by from February to February Titled Coming of the Seraphim in the early stages of its development, Angel Sanctuary was inspired by the Japanese fantasy novel Nocturne and was originally slated to be only ten chapters long, which led Yuki to worry about being able to properly end the story.

Angel Sanctuary was critically and commercially well-received by English-language readers and critics, with Yuki's art and narrative highlighted as its strengths.

Beginning in Japan inAngel Sanctuary focuses on Setsuna Mudoa year-old troubled high-school student in love with his year-old sister Sara. While struggling with his Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 feelings, he learns that he is the reincarnation of Organic Angel Alexielwho led a rebellion against her fellow angels after witnessing their slaughter of the Evils, a group of demons, after God's disappearance. At the conclusion of the revolt, she sealed away her younger twin brother, Inorganic Angel Rosielwithin the Earth, emotionally unable to fulfill his request to be killed before he became insane and destructive. Captured and branded a fallen angelAlexiel was punished by having her body frozen and her soul endlessly reincarnated as a human whose life is full of misery. While Rosiel is freed by his subordinate KatanSetsuna finds his life and Sara's endangered by various attempts to awaken Alexiel's dormant soul within him. Realizing they cannot bear to be separated, Setsuna and Sara run away together and consummate their love, hoping to start a new life together. Sara eventually dies Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 him from one of Rosiel's subordinates, and devastated, Setsuna awakens Alexiel's soul, causing widespread .

After Rosiel absorbs Sandolphon to gain his power, an act which speeds up Rosiel's physical and mental decay, Sandolphon's remnants possess her, causing her to see Setsuna as a monster. Assisted by Luciferthe ruler of the demons who is in love with Alexiel, Rosiel unseals the Tower of Etenamenki, where God rests, with Alexiel's body.

At the tower, Rosiel kills Katan, only to realize that he had killed the one he loved and tried to protect from himself; he then goes into a state of destructive despair. Awakening in her own body with Setsuna's help, Alexiel reveals to him that she had always loved him: because he had been born the opposite of his healthy sister, she bargained with God to save his life in exchange for her imprisonment, from which she later escaped with Lucifer, and an agreement to never show him any compassion. She then kills him and absorbs him into her womb so that they will never be apart again. Before dying, Rosiel passes along his power to Setsuna.

Several angels were planned to make an appearance, but never did; among them were the Angel of the Yoke and the leader of the angels, Sakaki. When Angel Sanctuary was adapted into Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 audio drama series, Yuki participated in selecting voice actors ; around two to three auditioned for each role.

Yuki Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 several sessions, during which she directed the voice actors and helped them with their interpretations of the characters. She helped with the color direction on the first episode; although she prefers the color combinations of white, red, and black, the production staff was interested in including an abundance of color to the adaptation to prevent it from seeming "dull. Editing the already finished script was the most difficult aspect of the adaptation for her, as time and space constraints resulted in the elimination of some scenes and she felt that sometimes a character's personality would be changed. She insisted on the inclusion of certain narrative points, which made Angel Sanctuary: v. 1 tricky to reach a compromise with the production staff at times. Regardless, she expressed her satisfaction with the finished product.
