Na mo Naki Tori no Tobu Yoake

Description

Karasu is an angel of the class Powers; Shirasagi is a demon, a Marquis. One day Karasu is assigned to convince Shirasagi to return to Hell. However, Shirasagi doesn't act like a demon at all -- not only is he a priest, but he's forsworn the use of his demonic powers, and wishes nothing more than to live his life as a human. But the Archduke of Hell also has his eyes set on Shirasagi, and Karasu's own deviant behavior soon throws him out of God's favor. Will the pair be able to overcome the restrictions and laws of being an angel and a demon and live their lives freely?

This is one of the two works(one is Brothers x Brothers) of Kirasagi-sensei that I've came to like the most. Aside from the artwork being so beautiful, the plot was also fantastic. But I was hoping of more iBeezlebub-Sariel's story.

Very original and very good

by Kleineputchen

It's one of most original yaoi I've read. Of course, the religious theme has a big part in it. I consider myself agnostic, and I enjoyed the questions this story brings up.

I have to say that's what I enjoyed the most in this story, like how one can be blessed when loved, or that it never leads nowhere to follow blindly any rules, and that you're creating the world you live in by your beliefs. These questions are very well introduced and treated, the trials the characters are facing really brings you to question yourself. It's rare to see such a philosophical quality in a manga.

But besides that, the themes it gets onto are so deep and complex, that it would have needed some more chapters (or volume) to feel like everything's been treated, at least for the story to feel thoroughly explained. And the end, despite being really good, felt just a bit rushed to my taste.

Even if I finally believed in their love, it didn't seem real at the beginning as there's not really any reason for them to sacrifive for each other, I didn't understand why they were suddenly so attached to each other. Though the only one sex scene comes at the perfect time in the story, as it's a very important moment, I'd have liked it to be a bit longer and detailed. But the characters, and not only the protagonists, are well developped, and I easily get attached to each of them.

Well, it's very good story if you don't mind religious theme which questions the very existence of God. I actually liked the evolution of the characters and the questions they're facing more than the love story in itself. And of course, I loved the art which is simply gorgeous.

a moving story

by blackknight

This has definitely made my list of all-time favorites. The art is beautiful, and the story is complex and riveting. The relationship between the main pair is touching and a backbone of the story. This is more shounen-ai than yaoi. There is 1 scene late in the 3rd volume that's yaoi, but it doesn't show much. Anyone not really into yaoi could read this and problably not have a problem with it. The story itself, however, might offend some just because of the religious content. The way Christianity is twisted around and presented is different than the usual fair. I like it. I found the ending and some other revelations in the story quite interesting. The mangka did a great job of fleshing out the story over 3 volumes. I would have loved to have seen it stretched out over even another volume though. I agree with other posters about how most BL don't have a plot or character development. This one certainly has plenty of both. You do have to think a little with this one. A great read, and I highly recommend it.

The short story at the end of volume one was very nice as well. It was a nice little snippet on how people resist change in their routine and comfort zone.

I can't speak for all, since I'm not religious. However, I can say that I literally wept through the last three chapters of the third volume. The tales of three unique pairs of lovers are weaved together so creatively:

We start with our mean protagonists. one would forsake god to be with his love. the other would give up his own life and to let his love be happy. but each has to sacrifice something to achieve their wishes.

Then there's the archbishop and the chief... their forbidden love was only recognized moments before their deaths, and yet they were satisfied to die in each other's arms, for the those last moments were worth it.

the whole story behind Judas & Jesus could be further explored though. Judas was in love with his lord... so in love that he sacrificed Jesus so God can forgive his sins. However, he realized, only after he has give Jesus up, that he would rather have lived in sin and with his love than without. So he tries to take his own life... and yet universe plays a trick on him.

There are times where i just went, "Oh... my... GOD.... !"... I can't even explain it due to lack of words. I'm just speechless in awe.

Only For the Open-Minded

When I first started reading this manga, it pushed all the wrong buttons for me and eventually, the only thing that kept me going was the artwork. (Yeah, I'm a sucker for great artworks).
But by the time I finished the third volume, I was really touched and very surprised by revelations in the last chapter. At some point, the plot pulled me in. XD

This is a good read and the plot is really something so you should very well read this with an open mind (and probably a sturdy faith, if you're a Christian). I love how the mangaka "twisted" her deep plot to effectively portray the relationship and emotions of the characters.

The story was awesome..but I wish it were a yaoi manga instead of shounen-ai..I am sure the love making scene at the end would be the cause of nose bleeds with their wings wide open in contrast colors-black&white..angel&devil..sins&goods..would be a tempting explanation of the nature of love..
even so,I have bow Kisaragi-san..thanks for the great work...

Fulfilling

This is not your typical yaoi read. It might disturb some religious traits and rules but its fictional, what are you going to do about it right? Anyway, the love between these two characters was weird cuz I dont understand how it started..? But it gradually increased and became a really nice couple! Ending was EPIC btw! Give it a shot, it's a really nice read and as I said, fulfilling! Great art, great plot, great ending, what else could be more satisfying? Oh and did I mention good-looking guys with a pair of HEAVENLY wings?

Ah, I can't believe I waited so long to read this one, it's excellent! The art on it's own would be beautiful, but in a story like this it is a work of art. I'm used to BL manga that are short on story and character development, but this is a far cry from those. Not only is it a great love story, but it's got symbolism, and a good number of allusions to classic western works as well. It's also nice to see that though the main two characters are given plenty of time, the side characters get their chance to shine as well. I'd recommend this to any fan of the genre.

Still one of my favorites

by asa488

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

It's been over a decade since I've read the manga, and this is still one of my favorite angel/demon BL manga of all time. I loved the religious references and twists in the plot, and the sacrificial love between Karasu and Shirasagi is so touching. I also love the subplot with Beelzebub and Sariel, which is only slowly revealed toward the end. And the twist with the third couple...just wow. Tons of the surprises and heartwrench factor really doesn't come til the final volume 😛

I gave .5 less because Beelzebub/Sariel could use some more screen time 😛 Also I admit, maybe the series could have benefited from spreading out to one more volume. But on the other hand, I also like when the story just hints at things instead of spelling everything out. So I guess it's a matter of preference.

This is definitely more shounen-ai than yaoi (only vol.3 contains an actually H scene). So don't expect smut.
