Hell hath no fury like a heavenly maiden. Horror, Comedy, and Romance Made in HeavenYuu Watase, the immensely popular writer/artist of the
shôjo (girl's) fantasy smash
Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play, has turned her creativity and wry sense of humor to the horror genre with her anime/manga hit
Ceres: Celestial Legend. Aya thought she was a normal teenager until she discovered that she can transform into a vastly powerful ""heavenly maiden"" named Ceres...But Ceres is furious and out for revenge!
Their search for the celestial robes or
"hagoromo" resumed, Aya and Yûhi transfer to (yet another) new school. But, here, their problems are more serious than just making new friends. Aki--or, should we say, the "Progenitor"--is on campus and making Aya's life hell. And then there's a kind of actual hell itself, in the form of a beneath-school passageway, where a...creature...is said to roam. Is there any truth to Aki's claim that the monster is the daughter of a priest who made the grave error of angering a celestial maiden or
"ten'nyo" hundreds of years ago...? Speaking of
ten'nyo, Aya has vowed to never release Ceres again. But Aki has made his own vow...and he
will claim Ceres--his woman--one way or the other....
