The characters started to get a little better developed in the second volume, although the relationship between Aya and Toya is still contrived and bizarre. I think I figured out why I don't like Aya, too--she reminds me of a friend from high school who flipped out all the time and was a totally self-centered man-user.
The story is starting to make slightly more sense. Apparently Ceres doesn't get it that the dude who stole her feather robe a long time ago is... well, dead. Or I guess he was rein...more

I am trying to not allow the future knowledge I have of events effect my rating of the earlier issues. This is what happens when you start a book at the fifth volume. At this point Ceres is starting to break away from a lot of shojo cliches: we understand more about Ceres and see plans starting on both sides. We finally have stakes. However, the shojo elements are heavy and dragging it down, mainly the romance. Toya and Aya's relationships is corny and contrived, even though it has elements of h...more

I don’t really know how I feel about this series at the moment. Not very strongly, I do know that. Not very impressed, either, or eager to start the next one. I’m sure that it will get better the more I read, though.
So, we saw some more of Aki, Aya’s brother, who decides to escape for a little while to find Aya. Also, Aya is being possessed by Ceres, her ancestor, at times of inconvenience, like when her brother is around and Ceres wants to kill him...more

The person this volume is named after, Yuhi, is the brother-in-law of another woman of celestial descent, and it is because of this connection that he comes in contact with Aya. Toya fans should not be disappointed either, this is a great continuation of the first volume as Aya struggles to master her powers and learn more about herself.
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
The outline of the plot is laid out in this volume. We know who Ceres is, and what the curse is all about. Toya is quite the mystery man, but I'm rooting for Yuhi! I love Mrs. Q, kindly but scary.

It's been a while since I read the first one, but everything came back pretty quickly. I hope Aya ends up with Toya. Yuhi annoys me. I'm excited to read the next one.
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.

Getting better. Guess the heroine needed to be whipped in shape for me to like her.

A much darker series than Watase's previous works, and I liked it quite a bit more. Excellent art from her, with a very twisted story.
First manga I started collecting. Watase-san is a literary genius. I love her works. Ceres is an incredible story.
never been a fan of Manga, though i keep trying it now and again.
i it was a good sequal
