Description
From Viz:
Why is Setsuna so mixed up? Despite his attempts to be noble, he'll fight anyone anytime; he ignores all authority; and he harbors feelings for his sister that can only be described as "incestuous." Why is he such a mess? The reason may be found with two demons from the underworld and their enemy, an insane angel who is distributing an insidious computer game called Angel Santuary.

Story/Plot:-
It has a very interesting plot about forbidden love and the lives of Angels and Devils however it is extremely hard to follow, making it easy to get lost .
Artwork:-
It has a unique artwork with beautiful characters however some characters are so beautiful is hard to tell the guys from the girls .
Final Thoughts:-
AS is an interesting manga with a completely original view of heaven & hell and their different societies. The story is very exciting and full of plot twist to keep it going but it makes AS confusing and herd to follow :?. I didn't mind how they portrayed the angels and devils but the way in which God was portrayed is offensive to Christians.

Not really a good manga

The art is unpleasant, panels always show too little - usually a closeup on something or, surprisingly often, a flashback. It also contains a lot of text, and I mean a lot, which, even worse, usually doesn't even properly explain what is going on. I found myself eventually ignoring the insignificant panels - text described everything anyway - and just reading through it and reading and reading until I eventually realized that there isn't anything captivating in this manga. Just shallow characters, a dumb story I couldn't care less about and poor art combined with poor writing.
All in all, I'd say I give this manga 3/10

This manga series is truly amazing. It is my favorite manga. No other manga was able to make me become so attatched to each and every character and really get to /know/ them. I cried on multiple occasions while I was reading this wonderful series. The plot is easy to follow even though it's quite complex, with a battle between heaven and hell and all. It's just a really great series all around and I would recommend it to anyone.
Hmm...

I read AS a few years ago. I don't like Kaori Yuki's works that much anymore, but there are a lot of good and bad points in AS.
First, the topic (love between siblings) is interesting, I'm glad it was approached. It was also nice to see her version of the angels/demons, etc., she even made it look interesting to an atheist like me.
One of the less enjoyable facts is the load of characters... it's hard to keep track of every one and I have to admit that I didn't even recognize Arakune when he appeared again around volume 10...
Now that I think back, there were some really touching scenes, but overall, I forgot a lot as well, because the storyline tends to be confusing sometimes... there are just so many things I sometimes lost overview, just like with the characters.
