Vol. 1: You know, I think I love the potential this manga has more than the manga itself. Katou and Iwaki are two very intriguing characters but their interaction, the way they react, is so full of pathos it's slightly cringe-worthy. The sex is hot, though, that's true.

Didn't care one iota about the stand alone story at the end.

Vol. 2: I absolutely didn't get Iwaki's reactions in this volume. Everything was Katou's fault, no matter what. And what's up with Iwaki smacking Katou around all the time? I have the sensitivity of a brick, I admit that, but Iwaki's behavior's making me uncomfortable because it's bordering on abuse. And, of course, more pathos *cringes*

The art is unique, the sex scenes hot - but the writing is kind of awful.

Vol. 3: I didn't understand why Iwaki kept calling Katou selfish. It rang rather untrue to me. But once again, the art was amazing and the sex incredibly hot. It's just too bad that the writing wasn't all that good.

This is the last volume that I own and I don't think I'll try to get my hands on the rest available. I think that there are better yaoi manga out there.

I've just finished reading the 3rd book of the Earthian manga. And I cried like a baby, really. This volume was the last one when they had published it for the first time all the years back. Now, there will be a 4th one - a collection of side-stories, most of them about Michael and Rafael which makes me more than happy. But back to the 3rd volume. In this one, some die and some don't, some do have their happy ending and some don't. The happiest thing? Chihaya and Kagetsuya and then Elvira and her human lover. The saddest thing? Taki and Miyuki. And lord Michael of course... that made me really sad.

This is an excellent series. The main characters, just like the secondary ones are utterly fascinating. But even though Chihaya and Kagetsuya are the main characters, I liked the relationship between lord Michael and lord Rafael better. It's so twisted and it's obvious that the more aggressive Rafael is completely obsessed with Michael. That's why what he did to Michael made me so... I don't know... sad?

I love it very very much and can't wait for the last volume! *bounces*

Today, I've received three very nice parcels from Amazon! *snuggles the shiny things* I'm salivating especially over Earthian 3 and Yellow 3! Though I have a very bad feeling about the fourth volume of Earthian - the summary of the next and last book says that the bleak future of the main characters will be shown :( *wobbles*

Last night, I had a weird dream - but a kinda cool one too. I dreamed about Saiyuki. Yup, you heard right. The four boys were in a kinda creepy haunted house. And there was this ghost who caused Hakkai a head injury and made him turn against the other, especially Gojyo... It was really cool. But I don't know how it ended because the postman rang at our door and woke me up X( Darn it!

I finished reading the 1st volume of the Earthian manga this morning. It's really cool. And now, the OVAs make much more sense. In the anime, Chihaya seems to be rather selfish and self-centered. But when you read the manga, you find out that it's not true. There isn't a selfish bone in his body. I don't understand why Kouga chose those chapters for the OVAs. I would have much preferred the story about how Chihaya and Kagetsuya met or Archangel Seraphim's story. And let me tell you that Raphael and Michael are hot! Can't wait for the next volume to arrive *bounces*

And I watched the latest ep of Meine Liebe Wieder last night. Wow! It's getting better and better. This season is so good. I like it that there are arcs about each of the boys. The first season was all about Orphe, but now we know much more about Ed and Camus... and I heard that the next arc will be about Naoji (I hope that's not considered a spoiler). And now, my fingers are fairly twitching to write some stories for this anime. I mean, gorgeous boys, great plot, lotsa angst... Just throw them together in one bed and you have everything a yaoi fangirl could wish for!

Oh! [livejournal.com profile] castalie! The CDs are here. Thank you so so much! *smooches* I will watch it and tell you how I like it, okie? ;)

Heh, am I the only one who didn't know that Kouga Yun is the author of both Earthian and Loveless? *grumbles*

Oh, but in Autumn Earthian should appear in English! How cool is that? :)
