Although Ceres would technically be the good guy because she is supposed to be stopping the C-Project, she is playing games with people's hearts which makes me question her. Also can we say INCEST, I hate it when series rely on incest as a plot twist, but since Ayi and Aki are twins I guess it will feature heavily. In this installment of Ceres we meet Chidori, whose brother is in the hospital. Chidori believes meeting Ceres and flying through the air will make him remember his dreams of flying airplanes and inspire him to keep trying to walk again. Volume 4 introduces a pair of new characters, Chidori and her paralyzed brother. The Evil Mikage corporation has begun to systematically "awaken" people's innate celestial powers, without regard to the repercussions. I like Chidori's character, but not the fact that she's drawn and interpreted by all the characters to be in elementary school when she's really a high schooler. That trope has never sat well with me and Chidori demonstrates how it's problematic as she's given the power to transform into her much more adult-looking super-powered form at will, thereby nullifying any worry of her emerging as a loli object. "This volume contains the Ceres, celestial legend, installments from Part 4, issue 1 through Part 4, issue 4 in their entirety"-- T.p. verso First published by Shogakukan, Inc. in Japan as: Ayashi no Ceres 1. Horror comics, strips, etc. 2. Romance comic books, strips, etc. 3. Comic books, strips, etc. – Japan. Annotation: Aya and Yuhi are approached by Chidori Kuruma, a young girl looking for Ceres. She wants her help for her hospitalized little brother. At the hospital they are surprised to meet Toya disguised as a doctor. It’s another Mikage plot to capture the powers of the celestial tennyo, the heavenly maidens. More sidebar musings from (4:37) …the series is going to be really dark, but there are still lots of things that show it’s not all bad for mankind. I hope that young boys and girls don’t lose heart. You can change the future. Each of you has that power. Wait until you are older to start thinking about the futility of it all. And I’ll have Aya doing her best too. This is an age [the present, 1996-1997] when parents and children kill each other, and people with money and power use underhanded methods to get what they want. The Mikage Family is representative of those things for me. no reviews | add a review
