  Product Summary
Meet Fujiwara Sunao. Ms. Fujiwara is rather unusual young lady. For starters, she possesses the power to control water. She also prefers to wear her hair short and dress like a boy. You would think Ms. Fujiwara would be an odd fit at her public high school, but strangely, she's not. Between the destructive and demented school president, the kooky and somewhat stalker-like school nurse, and the obsessed underclassman who wants to be her disciple, Sunao may be the sanest person at the school. Which, considering she may be asked to save it, can only be seen as a good thing.


remark: Originally published in Japan as Kowarehajimeta Tenshi Tachi.

    Somewhat difficult to read but well worth it     Jun 02, 2008     by Obsessed

    To start off the story is a bit convoluted, but it is designed to be this way.

    This is the first vol in a 5 vol series and it is supposed to begin in the middle of things. The rest of the vols work to unveil the character's past. In other words this isn't your typical manga where all of the facts are easily discovered. If you are a Decendants of Darkness fan, it is like trying to discover Tsuzuki's past. The end result forces you to read the vol several times before truly understanding what took place - this is the only problem with the work. (Some bad panel layout doesn't help and there is some confusion about who is talking in a few panels as well.)

    The story does take place, mostly, at a school, but that isn't what is important. The school serves as merely a meeting grounds for most of the characters. Yes some of the characters so seem to mimic characters that have been in other works. However, as the vols go on the similarities vanish. Also there is high use of gender-bender type characters and jokes. To summarize, the doctor is male but dresses like a girl and the main character is a girl but dresses like a guy. Plus there are plenty of yuri jokes scatter about.

    Lastly the art is beautiful! It is on par with Decendants of Darkness and Angel Sanctuary. There is mild use of chilbi drawings but not to the point of Sunako in Wallflower. Each panel is beautifully filled with artwork. There is little use of blank or blacked out manga panels.

    Overall, I really enjoyed this work even if it required a bit of rereading to understand it. This work may be a more difficult read than other mangas but well worth it.
