He definately said something when he stopped Mikage attacking in the last ep. I think it was an apology for not showing up earlier but I need to check... Aki has gone through a lot himself. Not knowing why Ceres wants to kill him, curious to find out and so unlocking into his past and then getting taken over by it. He's gone through as much pain as Aya. At least the spirit who takes over Aya is a kind one.

What I like the most in Aki's words when he was holding Mikage is that... Ceres/Aya must kill Mikage... and he doesn't care if HE'LL die since Aki is in Mikage's body...^^;; As long as Aya's safe...^_~

I thought that was nice. Too bad that Aki really dies in the end

Who do you like more, Aya or Ceres? They are more-or-less the same person; but actually look different and act differently. It seemed like at the beginning there was some sort of connection between Ceres and Yuuhi ^^; The first time Ceres talks with Yuuhi, he states how much more gentle and sexy she is compared to Aya.. Do you think he has any feeling for Ceres, or was that purely to cover up the fact he had feelings for Aya?

I re-read the manga and re-watched a few eps of the anime, and the manga is SOOOOOOOO much better than the anime At first, I thought they were the same; *shakes head* There's so many changes, and personally; the manga illustrations are better. Yuuhi in particular doesnt look as good in the anime >.> Moreover, there's a lot of comedy in the manga, which were basically all cut out of the anime. The manga has more detail, explanation and there's so much more interaction between Yuuhi and Aya from the very beginning 3 chapters. Aya's reactions are more realistic, when comparing to the anime, especially when Aya talks with Touya on the tree, and when they kiss. Just to let you all know that the manga does have a different story to it XD If you love the anime, go get the manga! You'll love it even...MORE! The anime is still very good, but the original manga is even better. Just kinda sad to see so many stuff cut-out. Gotta also remember that Yuu Watase (the author) herself, didnt get to have any say in the anime production.

interesting... if Aya and Touya were really a good couple, would people really get sick of seeing them two together too much? Exactly what is shoujo? I've heard of it... are there many types of anime?

Shoujo manga, focuses on situations of interest to girls and young women: romance, comedy and interpersonal relationships, generally involving cute girls and pretty, effeminate men. The men of shoujo are the "bishounen," the beautiful boys (i.e Yuuhi and Touya). Their physical characteristics are exaggerated beyond all reason, so boys and men in shoujo manga are impossibly thin and startlingly feminine in their beauty. They have long eyelashes and delicate hands. They are sensitive and talk about their feelings. They are not a reality but a woman's dream. The shoujo world is a girl's world, as much as the superhero world is a boy's world, and while there are certainly men who enjoy shoujo manga, they are not its intended audience The other type is shounen manga- which is action-oriented, the giant-robot-and-killer-ninja stories... In Shounen-ai, or "boy-love", the female characters have vanished almost entirely, only occasionally appearing as members of the supporting cast. Shounen-ai is about pretty boys falling in love with each other. Shounen-ai storylines use the usual romantic conventions - attraction of opposites, forbidden love, etc. - except that the main characters are gay men (or, just as frequently, one gay and one straight).

I've had the 4th volume (manga) sitting on my desk for a while, and I just noticed I havent read it yet.
After reading it, I didnt find it overly exciting compared to the other volumes.. >.> Maybe its because Ive watched the anime before (and that part in the series was too serious)
Does anyone find Aya and Touya's relationship overly exaggerated?

i just finish reading the manga and i find it sooooo much better than the anime.... at least i get to understand more about the characters and stuff, plus the anime cut some of them out and i don't have the rest of the eposodes.... and i got really confused. The manga enplains alot and yes i reckon their two relationship is a bit exaggrated... properly Tooya is too hot to resist LMAO!

Yay, finally another person who has read the manga and agrees with me There were a lot of parts cut out in fact.. but I guess its to shorten up the story a bit.. There was apart which was changed for the better I think..Like the part where Touya sticks his gun at Aya's head.. That was cut out I believe. In the manga, Aya travels back to the Mikage house twice, whereas only once in the anime. It was rather pointless having her go back twice anyway.. hmm.. the manga had way too much kissing imo... it wasnt necessary.. everytime Aya and Touya are together, there's bound to be that intimate relationship thingy going on.. they're physically attracted to each other. >.> (Well, what can I say? Im a Yuuhi fan..lol)
