Miori gets rid of herself; Toya runs off to figure out who he really is, leaving his weird body-generated dagger as a promise to come back to Aya; Aya and Yuhi start at yet another new school where they encounter another new student called Mikage--and it's Aki, still possessed by Ceres' wicked husband from long ago (the Mikage family's "Progenitor.")

Progenitor-possessed Aki is skin-crawlingly creepy as he continues to pursue and hit on Aya/Ceres, not caring that his former wife is housed in the...more

After the drama in volume 8, this book picks right up, and shifts some of its focus on Aki/Mikage as he tries to reclaim Ceres/Aya. Yeah, technically it's incest... (Aki/Aya) yet at the same time it's not (Mikage/Ceres) Weird. That's what happens when you share bodies with pissed-off tennyos or their possessive mates!

Final Rating closer to 3-1/2 stars

The action heats up with a new love triangle! That Toya's a dog, but the ladies love him! It was a nice little plot twist that shows how evil the Mikage really are.

Second half of this volume, Aki is back causing trouble for his woman.

Yuu Watase is an amazing storyteller and draws some gorgeous artwork! She is one of my favorite manga authors and I love everything she has done. The characters in Ceres are amazing and imaginative and extremely easy to relate to. She is able to capture the character’s emotions amazingly with a realistic outlook on life. Aya’s reaction to finding out about her supernatural powers was real and her ongoing fight through all of her problems strikes the reader as something that would ring true. My f...more

Aya is suffering a lot psychologically from all the trauma she's facing, and although this is an urban fantasy, the character developement in this area is very realistic. Even despite the cultural differences, I can understand Aya's reactions and mistakes.

I watched and loved the Anime version of this since I was a kid. It also landed on my favorites.

For now, I got no plans for buying a copy.

Holy crap the Progenitor is a complete d*ckhead and Miori, jeeze, she was just crazy.

Aya, you poor girl. I know that you will be kicking butt soon. You'll have to!
