A review by halcyonuncoil
Angel Sanctuary, Vol. 1, Volume 1 by Kaori Yuki
2.0
This story is hard for me. I really like the set up and the potential. The art style is a bit cluttered at times, but very beautiful. The issue I have is the incest. Though more of a personal squik point for me I find it distracts from the story overall.
On top of that, the characters tend to assume knowledge the readers just don't have yet and often, though uncomfortable dialogue and overly complicated panels, it's very hard to tell what's going on.
Pros- sci-fi meets religion with mechanical eldrich reactions in humans, nonbinary characters, gender fluid characters, a bit grimdark in setting, relatively intelligent MC
Cons- cluttered panels, confusing religious references, incest (though admittedly handled well), hard to differentiate characters, contrived plot developments
