Angel Dust
Angel Dust Written by Andromeda Yuina is a shy high school girl with perfect attendance who has suffered the tragedy of losing her mother. Her father isn’t able to raise her because of his job, so she now lives with her Aunt. Like a good girl, she doesn’t want to be a bother so she tries her best to, well basically fade into the background of life. That is until one day a mysterious creature falls from the sky and lands at Yuina’s feet. Forced into a pact with this creature Yuina thinks is an angel, she ends up discovering herself. While getting to know the Bioroid Seraph, Yuina realizes that she doesn’t have to blend into the background, that the world wouldn’t be a better place if she were not in it, and that’s okay to change. But along the way to discovering this, Yuina and Seraph must battle another Bioroid who wants to wipe out humans. While battling her own fears, will Yuina be strong enough for Seraph to battle what threatens all of humanity? Angel Dust is a cute, but short story filled with beautiful art by Aoi Nanase. It’s the familiar tale of good versus evil, dark against light. The sides are even depicted by those colors, Seraph having blonde hair and white wings while her opponent has black hair with black wings. Even Yuina and her childhood friend that she must face in battle are even drawn in this color contrast. The story is short, sweet and to the point, but I wish it was longer, fleshed out a bit more. I think a bit more added to the background story would have been great and would draw in more of a broad range of readers. As it is, this story is good to pass the time when you’ve read all your other stories and are waiting for new volumes to come out. If you are a fan of beautiful artwork, then you should definitely pick this up. Licenser: ADV Artist: Aoi Nanase Retail: $10.95 (US) Rated: 13+
