Manga Faeries' Landing

[Queen Asuka]

[color=crimson][size=1]I think I spelled the title of that right.

Well, it's a series that is out right now (Tokyo Pop, obviously), and it's about this guy who ends up having to be the caretaker of a fairy named Fanta. Basically, she predicts that he's going to have 108 "evil affinities" aka bad relationships. It's pretty cute so far, judging on the first two volumes, even though it's predictable and cliche. There's the evil fairy, Medea, the strange "creature" friend, Goodfellow, and the usual bad boy lead character.

Any one else interested or picked up the book and read it?[/color][/size]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]I've read the first two volumes of Faerie's Landing. Its pretty good. I'm normally not one to read mangas that are meant to be funny. But this one I actually like. And I love Medea's character, cause everything she does always ends up backfiring. I can't wait to get volume three!

My friend Tara let me borrow her three volumes of it! It is so funny! My favorite one is Volume 2. I think it's a really great manga! I want to keep them but I have to give them back. Oh well. Goodfellow is a pervert. Yep.

I recently went to Suncoast the other day, and chanced to pick this up. Brought to us by Tokyopop, this is manwa, which is from Korea. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect: the only reason I had looked into it at all was because of a friend's obsession with anything Fairy related, and I was looking for a good manga to introduce her to. After the purchase though, I'm considering keeping this one! Besides being a Comedy Romance, the manga ka loves video games, and blends them in to the story in ways I wouldn't expect. Somehow, having the characters dressing up as Vincint and Tifa for a costume ball chapter intro image makes me want to find that shop in Japan that sells Final Fantasy costumes, and go cosplay, lol.

In regards to the story, it's loosely based on a Korean fairly tale, where a lonely woodcutter meets a deer running from hunters. The deer asks for help, and the woodcutter hides him. He tells the hunters otherwise, and the deer takes him to a mountain top spring to view mystical fairies bathing. He tells the hunter that they use their magic gowns to ascend to heaven, and if one of them couldn't find it, he may finally be able to find his bride. So, he takes one, and the other fairies have to go up the rainbow, leaving the one behind. He comes out and consoles her that he'll take care of her.. and that's as far as I got from there.

Has anyone else read this, or would like to comment?

Yeah, I'm reading it. (even though I've only read graphic novels 3 and 4) I would have to say that I really love it! It's really funny and I love the characters! (Pain and Medea are my favorites) The plot line is pretty cool too. Even though it has its down points, overall I would say that it is very cool and I would reccomend it to anyone! (as long as you're 16 or over. It has some stuff that isn't cool for the kiddies... ^-^)

well i'm not very far in the into the story as i should be, but after reading the description on the tokyopop site i knew i had to have the book!!! it just sounded so interesting, and it really is. A great blend of comedy, little romance, and some *** kicking all add up to a great manga. I happen to really love the fact that it's about fearies!! i'm just about crazy over them and it's great to finally read a book about them!!
