Earthian 1 Yaoi v 1 Yun Kouga 9781598160062 Books

First released in 1989 Earthian is more of a classic fantasy with a twist of BL that may bring a nostalgic feeling to some who read it. I picked up this series immediately after watching the anime for Earthian. In my opinion I love the manga much more as the character are presented with better background and depth.

The series, especially the first volume starts off a little rough and the art takes a bit of getting use to. Really, so many of the characters don't seem much different from each other but the story quickly captivated me and it didn't take much effort to tell which character is which. Personally I have grown to love the art. Earthian is also Kouga Yun's very first series so while I may have given her some slack based on that fact I am truly in love with this series.

The story revolves mostly around two angels from Eden, Chihaya and Kagetsuya who have been placed on Earth as plus and minus checkers respectively. The angels on Eden have come to the decision that the humans should be eliminated but before that, humans are at least given the chance to be judged, which is the job of plus and minus checkers. Though this is the premise, Earthian is an emotional story full of character development and the relationships the characters struggle to attain and keep. This is a BL series, the dialogue is pretty clear that there are some taboo relationships but this is also a fairly light shounen-ai series clearly more focused on devotion and the relationship itself.

Each book is bound in a lovely textured pearly cover and there is a color illustration on the first page of each volume. The quality of the pages are also better and smoother than the average domestic manga. An extra perk is the occasional new illustrations done by Kouga Yun, such as the cover and inside color illustration.

Earthian 1 Yaoi v 1 Yun Kouga 9781598160062 Books Reviews

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).
It's present day, and Archangel Michael is fed up with the pathetic development of the human species. The angels, in their world high above ours, have been given the choice between destroying or preserving humanity. This will be decided by having "Plus Checkers" looking for good points and "Minus Checkers" looking for bad points, and whichever finds 10,000 points first decides the outcome. Chihaya and Kagetsuya are angels who have known each other since their days at military school in Eden, and having taken up opposing sides of this "good vs. bad points" checking system, are teamed together during their stay on Earth.

However, Chihaya is unusual even by angelic standards-he has black hair, eyes and wings. He's one-of-a-kind, unusually powerful in spite of his naive demeanor (much to Kagetsuya's dismay), but set apart from his angel kin...until the Black Cancer strikes the heavenly population, darkening the wings and hair of its victims before spiraling them down into painful death. Tension builds among the angels and between Chihaya and Kagetsuya in particular, and it looks as if the secrets to the salvation or destruction of both Earth and Eden may lie with Chihaya himself.

The story of angels Chihaya and Kagetsuya, their travels on Earth while they tally the plusses and minuses of the human species, Raphael and Michael's relationship back home in Eden, and a doomed society where loving someone of the same gender is a crime punishable by death, is both comedic and elegiac by turns. It's amazing to see how Kouga-sensei's art changes and grows over the course of the series, and the arcs of the characters relationships are just as thrilling.
A great series! an really sweet romance and plenty of comedy! I just adore it!
I have been praying that this manga would come to America and now I am rejoicing. First of all it's thick, which gives me plenty to read. Secondly, it describes the relationship with Chihaya and the other angles back in heaven. Which the anime never fully explained.
Over 400 pages Earthian is worth thrice its price. Strong plots with 2 endearing protagonists, Earthian a somewhat gentle Shounen-ai can do no wrong. It is much better than so many of those Yaoi/Shounen-ai released nowadays. I watched the Anime first and was captivated by the idea of 2 angels deciding the fate of humans and of course their love. The Anime definitely fell short of the Manga, disregarding important backgrounds and choppy and distorted towards the end. I am very glad Blu has released Earthian. This series should not be missed by those of us into Shounen-ai/Yaoi and those who are not should try it too. If nothing just for the captivating story line!
