Alice [$@$"$j$9(B] in Wonderland - serialized on Comic Val, 1989, 2 volumes @
Y530.
A prince from Wonderland is about to decide who he shall marry, but he
doesn't feel that he loves any of his brides-to-be. So he asked his
personal advisor, who is also a wizard, to let him go to the human world
and try his luck. The wizard agreed, but the prince has to go as a dog, he
can only turn back as a prince only twice while he was there and most of
all he cannot tell his name to the woman he wishes to get married with, or
otherwise he won't be able to marry her.
The prince agreeed to the terms. The wizard turned him into a puppy. The
prince was picked up by Alice, a girl who loves dogs, she has a lot of
dogs in her house. The prince falls in love with her. Later that night, he
changed himself back to his human shape while she was asleep. But, Alice
woke up and asked who he was. The dumb prince slipped his tongue and told
her his name. So what happened then is that he still bring her back to
Wonderland. He planned to stay with her even if they can't get married.
Then the story goes on.....
You're My Only Shinin' Star - published by Kodansha, 1991, Y420.
An SF/fantasy mook about moon people with big insect-like wings. At that
time, it's magic that rules. The main character Thomas is the greatest
magician on earth. At that time, women are the ones who are working and
they are the ones who protect the men. Humans had conquered the moon
already, and killed all the moon people, because the moon people have a
special power. The main female character is the last of the moon people.
Thomas is actually a moon-person as well, but no one knows about it.
It turns out that there is a guy within the heroine. It was a spell that
happened during the war between the moon people and earth, so now they are
actually two people in one. So Thomas has to show her that he really loves
her, even though she is actually a guy sometimes.
Genji $@8;;a(B - currently published by Shinshokan, 1988-present, 9 volumes @
Y490.
Ebata Katsumi, 16 years old, 1st year student of Senior Highschool.
Following his love Sakura, he went to the mysterious dimension of Japan
and got involved in the fight between Genji and Heike. The actual
historical epic took place in the Heian and Kamakura era, but the manga is
somehow set in modern Japan where the characters can even go to Shinjuku.
Katsumi looked very like Minamoto no Yoritomo who just passed away so the
Minamoto family made him to be the fake Minamoto no Yorimoto so that the
people from Heike family wouldn't know about it. The story depicts life
and death in the Kamakura bakufu.
In addition, there is supposedly a hard-to-find dojinshi, Genji Koushiki

Earthian $@%"!<%7%"%s(B currently - published by Shinshokan, 1988-present, 5
volumes @ Y490.
`Earthian' is the term for people living on earth. This story is about
`angels' from the planet Eden, who have been inspecting Earthians for more
than 5 billion years. They are divided into 2 groups, `plus checkers'
whose job is to find good points about Earthians, and `minus checkers'
whose job is to find bad points about Earthians. They always go in pairs.
If the bad points reach 10,000 (the score system is not important in the
story and Koga Yun did not really explain it in detail), Earth will be
destroyed by the Angels.
All the angels are white in colour; white hair, white eyes and white
wings, except one with black hair, black eyes and black wings. (Black is
considered to be a unlucky colour on Planet Eden.) His name is Chihaya,
and he is a plus checker. He went to earth with a minus checker called
Kagetsuya, and the story is about the different people and events they
came across on Earth.
Flexible Sensation
There is a group of aliens whose spaceship has lain crashed on earth for
centuries. This group of alien is pretty weird. Each individual is
composed of two bodies, and a male one and a female one. The male
character was a descendant of the alien, without his other half, he is
like a normal human. Other aliens try to get him to combine with her
sister, so he can return to his alien form.
Rorakaizaa $@%m!<%i%+%$%6!<(B - published by Akita Shoten, 1992, 4 volumes @
Y390.
One of Yun's more sexually heavy manga. No sex, but has plenty of sexual
tensions. There are strange beings that live in a slightly different
dimension above Earth. To them, humans are "Oni (demons)". They fear them,
a little, but humans are their main meal during the mating season that
happens once every 500 years. Sasame, who has been ashamed of his "ugly"
body, acquired a beautiful body from Nene, who suicided. Nene gave her
soul to Akaza, Sasame's arch-enemy. Akaza placed a deep scar mark on
Sasame's, and ergo Nene's, beautiful body before he went down to Earth
with the "Sky Above"'s only female, Yuuko. The mating season is on, and if
the "Sky Above"'s only female does not mate with the "Sky Above"'s King,
the species will die out (Only the King can mate with the female. Akaza
took Yuuko only because Yuuko claimed that she loved him.). By the order
of the "Sky Above"'s King and by his own unquenching anger and hatred
toward Akaza, Sasame heads down to Earth to confront Akaza and get back
Yuuko. Thus begins Sasame and Akaza's strange dance of love and hate.
Yunn's theme in this manga is "What is love" (again) and "If you loved
someone so much that you didn't want him/her to forget your existence for
even one second of their life, then extreme hate is stronger than love",
meaning, extreme hatred is very close to maddening love. And hate is
definitely a stronger emotion than love... [MN]
