Description
Once every 100 years, a Water Fairy implants an egg into a person who then becomes the Guardian of Fairies. This time, the responsibility falls on Chagum, the second prince of the New Yogo Kingdom.
Chagum`s life isn`t easy. The king finds Chagum an inconvenience and attempts to have him killed. As a result, the queen asks a female guard, Balsa, to protect Chagum. In addition to this, beings from another world, known as Nayugu, constantly attack him in order to eat the egg carried in Chagumu`s body.

Like spduke, I watched the anime and LOVED it. Total genius. COMPLETELY WITHOUT STEREOTYPES, just like spduke said. Possibly the best female character in history - I love Balsa and how real she is, and how she kicks ass when she fights but isn't ridiculously perfect like some action heroes, how she's a bit gruff and guarded but tender when she has to be, that she doesn't make romance the main point (or even a side-point!) of her life like most female characters in manga do. She's all about duty and justice and she's strong and noble and beautiful in a completely different way from most manga heroines - I think she's more beautiful, because she's so real and such a solid character with a great and very relateable backstory. I could imagine a fireside chat with her, haha. She's really the epitome of feminine power and strength. A good heart and a noble spirit and strong arms to defend them both. 
Chagum is also a great character because he starts off as an overprotected child who is (understandably) weepy but then grows slowly in so many ways, like learning how to live a normal life and make friends, and learning how to stand up for himself and also to protect others. He's such a good kid and you feel protective for him like Balsa did, just reading about him.
Everyone else is great too. All the other characters - the witch and her apprentice (w/ the lifelong crush on Balsa), Balsa's own guardian, the swordsmith and everyone you meet in the story is just so well-developed as a character and again so real that you could actually imagine meeting such people and talking to them. Nobody's a total villain and you can see the psychology and even the good reasons people have (or think they have) for doing things that you would normally consider horrible or heart-breaking. There are no "evil" characters and yet there is no shortage of opponents and enemies. Lots of fight scenes and lots of introspective scenes as well. Whatever you want, it's here.
I'm very grateful to TMI-Scans for picking up the manga in the past but it seems they have not been able to continue. Frankly I have no idea why it hasn't been licensed already - even setting the anime aside, just looking through the raws proves it is also a great manga. Until it gets licensed, I hope the scanlators will persist. Thankyou in advance to any groups that pick this up.

| Haven't read the manga, but watched the anime which was absolutely awesome. The series is listed here as shounen, but it has 0 of the shounen type cliches. The story has a very real feel to it with very good characters. Series is completely different from other manga, such as Naruto, Bleach etc. You won't see any power levels or summoning jutsu either. The settings have a fantasy old China feel. Truly Epic |
