Rememberance

I don't feel like reading this over anymore. I wonder if I have outgrown Kaori Yuki...
But the OST is still a jewel.

Twins of the Month

 

Since reading N.G.E. again and following Shingeki No Kyojin, I haven't had some manga to delight in reading except some short stories.

And I happen to have an urge to meet again with my favorite angel twins.

One is a dark angel

One might not count among my favorite characters but One's ambiguous clothing is certainly my favorite.

Lucifer is one of my fav

Look at the majestic wired beast of the mechanical God of Atziluth going against it.

Sevi

I'm not for the "let's-spread-virtue-in-the-world" mindset but with Sevotharte, I find myself saying: Go wing-cutter go! Those angels do need a purge! Heaven needs a complicated raw demented cleaning creature in A.S. !

Hug Rosiel

A.S. characters have had their share of suffering. Whenever I went through that manga again, I couldn't help shedding tears while virtually hugging many of them tightly. But when it comes to Rosiel, I believe I was in Alexiel's skin completely and wanted badly for that twin of mine to not suffer and have a life, even if it meant rebelling against God itself.

This image captures Rosiel in his surpreme pain and it always makes me to just get him over with life and hug his corpse as long as I can.


And to think that just few years ago, I used to hate that character...

Alexiel

Alexiel is a proeminent character of the A.S. saga and yet, she doesn't show up much. Still, her actions and charisma are strong ripples you feel in the agitated sea of this story and many are gravitating around her.

I often wish Setsuna would have been eaten away and Alexiel would take off the spotlight.

I pray for your happiness

A friend once wrote as a birthday greeting: "I wish for you what you wish for yourself". It was neat and accurate for someone like me.

Still, I strongly believe that in the end, just like A.S.'s, you can pray for people to be happy and to meet again.

I pray for you to be happy and that we meet again.

Neat as well.

Bad angel

Bad Sandalphon! Bad, bad Sandalphon!

But he's gorgeous.

YHWH

Nice job being so plain and superficial, A.S. God!

I have a great appreciation for Kaori's works but what she gives with her imagination and creative stories takes it back with many of her characters' construction: let's not mention the stereotypes and irritating casts but Yuki! Why is your vision of God so "simple"?

Still, she went out there and shared it so I'm clapping for that. And since A.S., she has grown as a mangaka, gained more insight and intelligence. So, it's no biggie in the end.
