Book Reviews of Earthian 1 (Yaoi) (Earthian)
Book Review: Full Series Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Earthian is one of those series that is more than meets the eye. In addition to the Kagetsuya/Chihaya romance, you also have some heavy questions like, "What is it to be human?" and "What is taboo?" Also, there are some heterosexual romances in the background that also attempt to tackle these questions. Some of this comes off as oddly political to a Western reader (the "gay-love-in-an-oppressively-homophobic-regime" thing), but (sadly or not, depending upon your opinion) this was not Kouga's intent- it was to showcase the struggle and the character development.
Kouga Yun's style is very flowy compared to her newer Loveless style, but it in no way distracts from the story.
Long story short, good BL series. You may even want to check it out if BL isn't usually your thing, because it's not that explicit, and there's some good het in there too (as I said).
Summary of Earthian 1 (Yaoi) (Earthian)
Angels are among us. They are scattered across the globe, living in our neighborhoods, observing humanity--the Earthian--in crisis...Chihaya and Kagetsuya have known each other since their days at school. They are friends...and possibly more. These two angels roam the world, compiling lists of the positive and negative traits of humanity. In the process they become involved in the lives of various humans, full of despair: An astronaut about to venture on a dangerous mission, a sorceress running from the mafia, and a mysterious artificially created human are just a few of those beings who Chihaya puts himself at risk to help, much to Kagetsuya's dismay. But after a meeting of angels, it is discovered that a dreaded disease is plaguing a growing legion of angels. Salvation possibly lies in the fallen angel Lord Seraphim--and as Chihaya and Kagetsuya search to find him, he turns up in the most unlikely of places...BLU proudly presents the much-anticipated classic boy's love series!Manga Books
