Fairies Landing

Postby Gypsy » Fri Feb 27, 2004 2:56 pm

Fairies Landing is one of Tokyopop's latest releases. I think it's techincally manhwa rather than manga, actually.

Anyway, it deserves its 13+ rating. It has light fanservice, crass comments and insinuations. The art is very good, though, and the story is quite interesting.

I'm an impulsive buyer (unfortunately) and I was just wondering if anyone else had picked up this title.

I read the first one, but I don't plan on buying it. It reminded me of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Celestial Legend Ceres.

It's about this guy that, through various circumstances, ends up having a fairy living with him. However, this isn't like a catch-in-a-bottle-Zelda fairy, this is a life-sized one. She calls the guy "master" but it's not like other "beautiful, innocent, magical girl moves in with misfit, geek, lech of a guy" stories. It's .. really hard to explain, actually. Like I said before, though, it really earns its 13+ rating - at least for the first book. I've yet to read the second.

I'm not well-versed in most manhwa (I usually read manga) so I don't know how to compare it to others or what to expect content-wise. Here's the info on it, though.

Just a slight update/warning. I've read volumes 1-3 (currently all that's been released) and the series is losing major points with me. Fanservice and immature dialogue is becoming more and more frequent, and the preview for book 4 is giving some strong hints about homosexual characters entering in on the scene. I have a feeling that I'll be dropping this series in the near future. :(

Don't you hate it when a manga just runs head long down the abyss towards mediocraty (is that a word? could I have spelled it right? Tune in next time and find out!) Nothing makes me more upset than when the first volume rocks and the rest are total crud. Bleh.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.
