Summary: The Plot thickens
Review: In Suzumi, the third manga in the series Ceres: Celestial Legend (also known as Ayashi No Ceres) the plot picks up where it stopped off in Yuhi. Aya finds her life getting more and more complicated when the school doctor for her new school is, in fact, Toya, who, for some reason does not want to pursue her romantically anymore. Aya is crushed. She first finds solace with a new friend, a shy girl from school with more than one dangerous secret, then in the arms of Yuhi. Confused, Aya finds herself involved in another disaster. Deadly fires have been starting all over her school. Aya, who does not fully know about her Celestial powers, suspects that she accidentally caused them, hurting other people. Unfortunately she is wrong, and her mistake may cost her life.

I'm a little confused why this manga is called "Suzumi," considering Suzumi doesn't play that big of a part in this story until the second part of the manga. Still Vol three continues the infectious shoujo story of Ayashi no Ceres. Aya's story is a complex but intense one. You find yourself feeling bad for this girl. All she really wants it to be loved and to live like a normal sixteen year old girl, instead she's cursed with celestial powers that are tearing her family and life apart. The art is beautiful as always. Yu Watase's line work is absolutely stunning. The only problem I had with this novel is that it was cluttered with completely useless facts. Watase-San's little rambles that she puts ever few pages have been cute and entertaining in the past but her thoughts about cloning and genetics are just annoying. I found myself rolling my eyes at her charts to explain the meaning behinds DNA and genes. In my opinion, if you're in the "older teen" bracket this manga is intended for you should already know these things. I guess it's different in Japan.

Still I would recommend this manga. If you loved the anime series, you'll love the manga.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book in the Series!!!
Review: Volume 3 of Ceres: Celestial Legend is the best book in the series! This one is the best because it has the saddest storyline of all of the books, and because it has the most intense action. Yuki Urakawa also suffers from the most terrible fate of any character in the series. Unfortunatley, if you haven't read the first two, you shouldn't read this one, cause you'll be lost by page 2.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even better then FY
Review: Yu Watase is one of the best shojo manga artists out there! Her artwork is beautiful, and bishes galore! Ceres contains the perfect combination of romance, and magic. Fushigi Yugi is also a great manga by watase, check it out ^ ^
