Broken Angels
Broken Angels Written by Andromeda Fujiwara Sunao is not the typical high school girl. She’s the classic tomboy with her hair short and wearing boy’s clothes. Like most high school girls, she has a secret, but not what you would think. And there are those around her who want to find out what her secret is. When they do, how will they handle knowing Sunao’s secret? Her secret is that she can communicate using water and can control the water as well. Sounds weird, doesn’t it? Well, Sunao isn’t the only weird one in this story. The school nurse, who could pass for a woman, has taken an interest in Sunao. He always seems to be there when strange things occur. Maybe he too has a secret. Then there is one of Sunao’s classmates, Kureha, who has a strange obsession with her. Kureha plays a twisted game with Sunao that could end in her death. But maybe that’s what Kureha wants. To top it off, what would happen if someone with darker intentions were to find out about Sunao’s powers? Could they find a way to control her, to use her powers to their advantage and get what they want? First though, they have to separate Sunao from the people that she holds dear, starting with her self proclaimed apprentice who wants to be just like Sunao. How? By telling her a secret that may drive a wedge between the two of them. Broken Angels is a beautifully drawn story. For those that like girly looking boys, this is the perfect choice for you. Sunao looks like a pretty boy in her boy’s school uniform and the school Nurse, which is a constant character, is quite the pretty man with his long hair and feminine characteristics. At first I found the story to be a bit dull and a tad slow. Yet with each passing chapter, it became more interesting, though lacking in information about just who Sunao is. There is one part I found funny, which was a short tidbit into Sunao’s life outside of school. Sunao gets cramps and ends up throwing up on Hokage, the person she shares a home with. “Still… …can’t seem to accept that you’re a woman, can you?” I’m hoping when the next volume comes out in July 13th, more about Sunao will be told.
