Seven young people, with alien past lives, struggle with the question of whether the woes of the present must be endured for the promise of a better future or to atone for past wrongs.
Saki Hiwatari (日渡早紀 in Japanese) is a Japanese shōjo manga artist. Her first work, "Mahōtsukai wa Shitteiru" was published in the weekly shōjo anthology Hana to Yume in 1982.
As I suspected, the series is becoming more and more serious as the artist/author gets a better handle on the characters and what she wants to do with them. She admits in notes throughout the book that she was ("is") just making it up as she went ("goes") along, which shows in certain scenes -- incongruous slapstick, breaking of the fourth wall, etc.
Oddly enough, Alice was apparently the most popular character in Japan. I felt nothing for her in the anime, and in the manga I simply can't stand her. So far, the most interesting story elements are Issei's struggle with the fact that he's a straight woman reincarnated as a straight man and the mystery of who exactly Rin used to be...
With the help of Issei, Alice meets Daisuke and Sakura, two kids who also appear in the moon dreams. I'm even more confused with this volume than I was with the first one. I like this manga but I just feel like there's something missing.
En este segundo volumen terminan de ponerse, más rápido de lo esperado, los cimientos de la historia. Terminamos de conocer a casi todos los protagonistas y sus respectivas 'reencarnaciones' y a grandes rasgos conocemos el terrible destino de sus alter egos en la Luna. Es curioso, como pese a las pocas escenas que se han podido ver de la base lunar, estas tienen muchísima más fuerza que el resto de historia situada en la Tierra. Poco a poco, uno empieza a darse cuenta de que la autora tiene entre manos una historia muy potente, que bien manejada, puede ser sobresaliente.
Please Save My Earth is my all time favorite manga. The drawings aren't that great at first but as the series goes on they become fantastic.
It's about a group of Japanese students that dream about their past lives together and how it changes them and their relationships. Can love survive reincarnation?
