About the series
Kaori Yuki's gothic fantasy epic, originally serialized in Japan and collected into this 20-issue English release by Viz from 2004 to 2007, explores a cosmic war between Heaven and Hell centered on a forbidden, tragic love. The series follows Setsuna Mudo, a troubled teenager who discovers he is the reincarnation of an angel whose rebellion against divine order set cataclysmic events in motion. Yuki's ornate, darkly romantic artwork and complex, morally ambiguous storytelling made this a defining title for fans of 1990s shojo manga, blending biblical mythology with psychological drama.
