Simply amazing <3 Nov 15, 2008 reviewed by Seph
Cain Saga is officially my new favorite manga! I haven't read Godchild yet, but I'm sure it would be just as amazing! This manga had such excellent twists in plot, that I actually got sick reading it... And, that's supposed to be a good thing >.> This manga just affected my emotions a lot, and I don't usually get THAT affected, so it was simply amazing =] I urge everyone to read eeeet

Yum! Jun 16, 2008 reviewed by amusmental (Julie)
Another series I gobbled up! I had to force myself to wait until I had it all so I could read it all at once! The artwork is splendid, the characters are great, and the gothic atmosphere is fun to get in to. Storyline is around Earl Cain, a young man whose life is surrounded by intrigue and death. He solves one mystery after another, many, if not all of them based on nursury rhyme themes. I think it's more than worth diving into!

Before Godchild Dec 06, 2007 reviewed by Obsessed
The Cain Saga series lasts for five vols.
The first vol can best be described as a beginning work since two of the stories contained within this vol have nothing to do with Cain nor his past. However, what is contained in the vol are some enjoyable one-shot works and three stories to provide some background knowledge on Cain. Especially if you have read Godchild vol 4. The Miss Moffat arc's background begins here.
On whole you can tell that this is a beginning work. The stories are short but still built up nicely. Later vols in the Cain Saga series begin to display Karoi's writing talent better - by the second vol. This is a fact that she even acknowledges herself in the postscript. But I think is rather hard on herself. This vol shows how she was feeling out the world that Cain is from and dabbling in other areas as well. Plus if you are a Karoi Yuki fan you should have this vol just because.
Lastly, the art is not at all similar to Godchild which is more gothic. The art in this work reflects its original publishing date in the mid 1980s. The characters have more wavy hair and Cain looks older than in Godchild. I think that this is the problem. As a stand alone work the art is still beautiful. But when compared to Godchild, I prefer the art style presented in Godchild since it is more modern and clean.
Overall, give Cain Saga a chance. While it supplies information for the Godchild series it should not be compared to the series. The writing is still engaging true to Karoi's nature and the art is equally as beautiful.

Dark and Delectable Aug 28, 2007 reviewed by SciWolf
This is a wonderful series. It gives clues and introduces characters for the Godchild series, while completely standing on its own. Not for those with weak stomachs or sensibilities, but perfect for those who love a good mystery (and pretty characters solving it). If you want to know more about Cain's past, this is the series to read.

The sad saga of the Cain Saga Aug 28, 2007 reviewed by Destiny
This book almost manages to have a good plot--but it gets old when you get a bit further on. The fist book is fine--more then a few badly drawn pictures, but it's ALMOST excusable because there's SOME good pictures also. As the book progresses, the more i tried to tune in, but the bit of good plot didn't cut it when all i had to look forward to was: sure the guy killed that guy. No, you idiot, it was the dad that killed the guy. It was a bit dreary when each book is predictable, and there are such things as good predictions, and this one just didn't have it.
