Description
From ShoujoMagic:
On Kabuchi-jima, an island ruled by Princess Kaguya, ten children were raised as sacrificial victims. Several of the children thought they had escaped their fate when they escaped the island. But nearly a decade later, the kids are still dying in the order and at the time they would have as sacrifices... Their only hope now is to reunite and return to the island to seek out and destroy the source--the legend, the blood-lusting Moon Princess--before time runs out.

| I cried! *SPOILER* by anh_sailormoon on January 11th, 2010, 4:15pm |

Spoiler (highlight to view) Ok, the whole series was absolutely amazing. The first few volumes did not say much and you can not guess what will happen in the first few volumes. I suggest that you don't try to predict whatever is going to happen at all because it's absolutely unpredictable!
I was amazed! The plot turn out to be so much better then I expected it to be and it was a tradegic ending! The end was so sad...
I absolutely think manga is one of the best I have ever read! The art is absolutely amazing. The manga/ story/ characters give you this really thrill feelings and you wouldnt excatly know why it did..
But yes, it still and tradegy and it's a must read one...

| Is this manga trying to be ridiculous? by Question2 on October 12th, 2009, 4:17am |
|
The premise for this series seemed interesting enough, so i gave it a go.
In the first volume :
-Two 15 years old smuggle flamethrowers out of the US military base in Japan and torch some paintings
-The same two 15 year olds steal a US military helicopter, fly it to a mansion, disable the security system and abduct a girl. Apparently they wanted to erase all traces of the girl's existence before abducting her(school records, etc).
-They take the girl back to the US military base. Nobody finds this odd at all. One of the 15 years old proceeds to steal a F-15 eagle and take it for a joyride, after only training in a few simulators, and is skilled enough to do stunts with it. Nothing happens to him for stealing the F-15.
-The two 15 year olds tell the girl an amazing story of how they used to be raised as sacrifices on an island for Kaguya-Hime, but they escaped, and she was one of them but they dropped her while on the run. Instead of being pissed at being kidnapped, she eventually agrees to go with them(despite having no memories of the event).
Eventually they head to the island, standard "stranded on island" scenario(no way off island, everyone that can help them covneniently died, etc). While the kids travel around the island unravelling the mystery of why they were stranded there, etc, the US military instructor with all the survival skills, etc, does nothing but walk around in BDSM outfits in a few(VERY few) scenes.
I dont know if this series is trying to be ridiculous or not... |

I love it! The art is great the the plot is awesome! Really not the typical shoujo. I have just seen the raws of volume27. I think I know what happened, then again I don't really know anything about the kaguya hime. What I know is that... I'm just guessing... and akira, thank God you turn out that way! I was really anxious thats why i looked at the final volume. I can't believe Midori made it there. And yui, wah!
Another work of the mangaka is himitsu. Also a must read. There is also this moon child, I'm anxious again how it will end. I hope I can get a hold of the final volume, even the raw would be great.

cant stop reading!VERY GRIPPING!
but it's not "very shoujo" like there was some mature part.
it's like a survival game!MUST READ!
it talks about one of japan's myth and i thought it ws interesting how the author wrote the manga about the story.

| Shimizu Reiko by Lybi on July 5th, 2007, 9:16pm |

Shimizu Reiko's mangas always seem to be very deep in terms of psychology, emotions, and subjects, including Kaguya Hime. Personally, this is my favorite manga from Shimizu Reiko.
At the moment there are 3 volumes (out of 27 in Japan) so I can't say my opinion won't change later, but for now this manga is definitely one of the most memorable mangas I have read.
I would recommend this manga if you liked Himitsu, Urasawa Naoki's works, Eternal Sabbath, or Telepathic Wanderers.
