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.

This reads like a mix hyperbolic shoujo writing, gnostic fanfiction, and crack cocaine. Reminds me of Bastard!!, but for another audience.

The biblical text itself can probably tell a more interesting tale. borrowing the concept of angels and twisting it way out of context can probably make this a bit less desirable read for those who are religious. it's an interesting manga but unfortunately, that is all it amounts to. Theres nothing fantastic about it as the plot centers on a fallen or condemned angel who loves his twin sister. taboo love story is a common occurrence for a manga plot these days. if i were to sum up this manga in 1 word, it would be "quaint". i would say its still a good story to read for teenagers but any older, would find this story rather dull and repetitive. giving it a 7 out of 10. and im being rather generous with the points.

I liked that it wasn't actually incest in the end (but some kind of weird shoujo-ai? lol)
Not planning to spoil anything, but if you only refuse to read this because it says "incest", you will miss out on a lot.
Angel Sanctuary combines various myths with the horror element.
Some parts are very confusing, some motives and goals not really clear.
My favourite part was the Raphael-Sara one ^.^ Though it ended quite....

This manga has amazing art as well as great dialogue and an amazing and original story. Sure it gets a little weird and can be confusing at times but I would definitely recommend this to anyone. If you can get past the whole incest thing it's one of the best mangas you'll ever read.
my number one all time favorite manga ever

fantastic art - first few volumes are okay, but later volumes are just beautiful.
epic setting - earth, heaven, and hell, filled with monsters, angels and demons.
diverse cast - characters that you can really cheer for, sympathize with, cry for, or absolutely hate.
deep plot - complex interesting even after several read-throughs, not predictable, well paced and rarely stagnant (i thought it was intriguing right from the start).
and of course, a solid ending that feels justified without seeming too convenient.
i've heard people complain about the length, but at 20 volumes, i find it long enough to have some meat to it, but not so long as to feel old or repetitive. plot can get a bit complicated at times, so it's not a quick read - you can't really just skim through. a few more mature themes may not appeal to some, but i loved it.

The plot is interesting , drawings awesome ... WoW
A very intersting story that shows demons and angels in a different yet realistic light. For its 20 volumes it isnt long breathing in the least. It seems the whole plot was planned out from the beginning. everywhere are plottwists, drama, new encounters, old connections and interesting outturns. An artistic master piece. Its one of those titles you are not allowed to miss if you are into manga.
