this didn't really grab my attention in the beginning, like a few others have said, but i'm so glad i followed through. in kaori yuki's style, this is really a magical read. with elements and characters that really really make you delve deep into the story.
it wasn't just about the "main characters", each character had their own story, quirks, and unique personality. also, each one managed to change throughout the story. a LOT of information for such a short story, but it's not very overwhelming. and of course, beautiful artwork. (hehe, i did like isaiah more at the end~ >3)
Spoiler (highlight to view) i only wish that it followed rin and ian's relationship at the end, i mean holding hands is nice and all but.. xD they never got to act like lovers.. :<
bravo~
i was a bit dissapointed, though, the lead hero wasn't as charming as prince lui was in ludwig kakumei. oh well, he had his own charm. ;P

Honestly, this was a very refreshing read: Plenty of action, a good plot, not a lot of her usual melodrama. It's very original, and leaves a soft feeling at the end. The artwork is astounding, and Fairy Cube is worth reading just for that! For only three volumes, there are a lot of pieces to the plot, a lot of background, and plenty of tie-ins between characters. She captures the feeling of 'magical' very well. This makes a great re-read too.

This serie was indeed one of the best i've read. The atmosphere was truly magical as well as the feelings it give me. The characters had depth, not the usual good vs evil, even in a magical world they had both calitates and deffects and their reasons seemed quite realistic.
At points it was a little difficult to read, some of the ideas were presented in a very confusing way, even so i'm happy i gave it a chance.
I highly recommend this to any reader with the least bit of imagination.

| Kaori Yuki Must-Read by PansyWansyLinsy on August 18th, 2008, 12:28am |

I'll admit that Fairy Cube didn't grab my attention at the beginning. Despite the fact that I really enjoyed Kaori Yuki's classic, Angel Sanctuary, I haven't made it a point to read any of her other mangas. Boy, was that ever a mistake because I wished I had given Fairy Cube a chance when I first encountered it in Shojo Beat.
Though it's a short 3 volumes, Fairy Cube has a lot of the same intriguing elements that made Angel Sanctuary so great. Here Yuki spins a fantastical tale of a world inhabited by fairies and demons, a world that only Ian can see, but humans cannot.
Once again, we encounter a theme reminiscent of Angel Sanctuary, a battle between good and evil. Caught within the middle of this war is our young and hopeful hero, Ian, and a medley of characters ranging from the seemingly evil Tokage to the enigmatic Kaito. It's a story about love, adventure, and heroism - all told in the hauntingly beautiful tone and art that is characteristic of Kaori Yuki.
Though the plot does get convoluted here and there, don't let this discourage you from reading it all the way through. It's a notch above most of the cookie cutter shoujos out there and a must-read for any Kaori Yuki fan.

The ending was a bit confusing and so was the series, but it's still an enjoyable read. There's a bit of romance, mystery just enough to satisfy everyone. Highly reccommended.

The drawings were beautiful and the story was truly unique but it left me with a weird forlorn empty feeling. Also there was too much information trying to be given for how short the series actually was. It made it a little hard to follow and therefore didn’t captivate my attention. Even though it was hard to finish it was a great story and I would encourage anyone to read it.

I loved the story! The art is pretty good, more shounen-ish than in most shoujo manga.
The plot was a bit hard to follow in the beginning, but that's definitely not enough to stop you from reading the rest. It's kinda horror-ific as well. In the end, you will love it.

the summary really turn it down a lot... but since that is how we ppl usually look at to see if we are interested in the story or not right?
but once you start reading it it's just so amazingly lovely. The story is simply just great, everyone should try this manga 
it's a really wonderful fairy tale^^

| Raven & Kaito! HOHO. by hiskareia on June 21st, 2007, 1:43am |

I LOVE THIS MANGA. I can't believe I actually thought that it sounded boring. Most probably because of the summary. -.-" It was published by Chuangyi and I bought it a few months after they released the final volume. The drawing is beautiful. Kaori Yuki is an excellent manga-ka. The storyline is love. (& after the whole story, you'll love Isaiah more than Ian). ^^ Also, the 'conflict' between Raven & Kaito was pretty sad. This manga is definitely a great read. A few interesting twists to the story. You'll love this manga, seriously.
