I dont think Ai Yazawas let me down once so far. Paradise Kiss Tenshi Nanka Janai and now Kagen no Tsuki have completely captured my heart. Kagen no Tsuki isnt even something that I would expect her to write. Its a supernatural mystery instead of her usual romantic dramas. However this story definitely retains her signature style. Kagen no Tsuki begins with Mizuki Mochizuki a teenage girl who ran away from home. She meets Adam Lang a foreign musician and the two fall in love. When Adam tells her that hes leaving Tokyo and wants her to join him Mizuki accepts. However on her way to meet him she gets hit by a car putting an end to her attempts to reconnect. Not long after a young girl named Hotaru comes across the abandoned mansion where Mizuki and Adam stayed together. There she finds a girl only she can see unable to leave and without any memories other than her lost love. Hotaru and her friends decide to help her find out who she is and find her missing lover Adam. The summary was a bit long this time Theres definitely a lot of story setup. It seems very obvious how the story will turn out and I thought I knew how everything was going to play out. It seemed so obvious. I didnt hold it against the story. After all it was written for a younger audience. However Ai Yazawa did not disappoint because once the children start to find the obvious clues they find that more and more things dont add up. I was also impressed with the messages. It really is a story about life love and happiness. We take so much for granted including our own lives. Even outside romantic love there are still people who care about you and love you. I really appreciated it. As for the characters I feel like the one who had the most development was Mizuki. So many of the central themes are connected to her. I really think her growth as a character served the story well. Its interesting how her obsession with her love interest actually proved to be detrimental. As for the four children: Hotaru Sae Masaki and Tetsu I was impressed with how well they were written. It was a a short story with only three volumes but I found that the characters and their backstories personalities and motivations were well established for something so short. I was particularly fond of Sae and Masaki. I also thought that Mizukis exboyfriend really showed a lot of growth too. I wont discuss it in depth because of spoilers but he has a lot of regret for the things he did in the past and was too late to even begin to make amends. I was really happy with how he turned out. The art is also beautiful. Its Ai Yazawas classic style and really helps make it feel like her own work despite the genre not being something she usually does. Like I said in my review of Tenshi Dakara Janai I wish her works for Ribon were better known. Since Paradise Kiss and NANA are so well known Id think that publishers would make more of an effort to bring her stuff over. This is such a nice story and I hope to see more people checking out older shoujo like this sometime soon.
