Summary: YEAH! Wish I never read it!
Review: The artwork is lacking emotion, feeling and talent. It was just shabby. The plot is terrible. No real thought was put into it. It looks as if they tried too hard, way too hard to make the lead character seem and act sugary cute. I could not related to any of the characters. I didn't find any of the main characters at all interesting. I love Chobits, and X. I am very fond of Clamp. But this series, I can do without. It was just an empty shell of a story. It had so many wonderful possiblies. It was very disappointing.

Summary: Cute! I love angels!
Review: This is a lot like Oh My Goddess! in regards to storyline. But the art is beautifully done, if in a simple style. The characters are adorable and sweet, and I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

Summary: an awesome manga
Review: This is a really good manga. Its pretty much a shojo thing, but its really cute, I loved it. But the only problem was the fact that they changed the gender of some of the characters. Like Kohaku, an angel, who was originally a guy was changed into a girl, cause he falls in love with another guy. I like to think it as, angels have no gender, so it doesn't matter, so yeah. But anyways this is a really good anime!! So if you don't mind the gender switching, buy it!!

Summary: I don't see what people are making such a fuss about
Review: This story is so sweet. I don't think I read such a sweet story before. It's simple and light hearted. Easy to enjoy. The kind of story that you can just read for pleasure, and not have to ponder and analyze over.
A ton of people said that they were confused over the gender thing. What is there to be confused about? Kohaku is neither male or female, just an angel who falls in love with a man. There is no such thing as a male or female angel (though some of them might look a bit more feminine than others). It's so simple. AS other reviewers pointed out, Tokyopop called Kohaku a "she" because they couldn't call it "it", causing it to sound like they were adressing a thing, rather than an angel.
Gosh, people just get wound up so easily, it's scary. An the religion thing. You would think that these stories are being examined by obsessed Bible fanatics. So everything is not perfect in heaven. Who would have guessed?
Overall, Clamp brought to life a wonderful, cute story that should be apreciated for for what it is and the message it conveys. I mean, the message is basically foribidden love. In this case it's between an angel - not a woman, not a man - and a man from Earth. It's just love and attachment.
Some need to understand that it doesn't always have to be so clear cut and boring, like the typical love stories (girl falls for boy (or vice-versa), oh, no, their families oppose it, there are dark pasts that need to be unraveled, what will they do? Everyone wants them apart, cause one is rich, or popular, or just too cool and the other is poor, or not famous, or geeky. Stuff like that.
Love should not be defined like that. Man and woman. In this story, we have man and angel. Not +woman+, but angel. So what? It's still love. Maybe if we considered angel a gender of its own it would be more clear?......
If some of you really want something to critizise in terms of religion, read Angel Sanctuary- an awsome manga that breaks all the limits.

Summary: My Favorite CLAMP Manga
Review: When I first read the reviews here, I expected the manga to be somewhat of a letdown, but boy, was I wrong! I enjoyed reading this even more that reading Rayearth, which is QUITE a statement!
First off, I loved the artwork MUCH more than in X/1999. While that artwork tends to be somewhat dark and muddled and headache inducing, the clear line art in WISH was a relief. The plot line is as clear as the art, and entrancing (in fact, after I bought the first one, I had to go back the next night to immediately buy the second volume!)
Also, it's a little on the shoujo side, but not to an extreme, which is well recieved after extensive readings of Fushigi Yugi and Ceres (I love those series, I really do...).
In response to a comment from another reviewer, I DO think the translaters could have done a better job, but the main "romance" is NOT between two males. Yes, Shunichiro IS a male, but Kohaku does not have a gender, Kohaku is simply an angel. The translator simply assinged the Devils the male gender and the Angels the female gender to clear things up a bit to the reader. All in all, I find this a must read. I don't generally buy mangas (I borrow them from friends), but I've found that I'm compelled to buy this entire series because of it's sheer mastery. More proof that CLAMP are the masters!
