天官赐福 [Tiān Guān Cì Fú] #1
Heaven Official's Blessing, Band 1
Wer hoch steigt, fällt tief. Dreimal ist Xie Lian in 800 Jahren in den Himmel aufgestiegen, um in die Reihen der Götter aufgenommen zu werden. Und zweimal wurde er wieder mit Schimpf und Schande davongejagt und aus dem Himmel verbannt. Herabgestuft wurde er vom Kriegsgott zum Seuchengott, nur um dann weiter vom Seuchengott zum Gott der Lumpensammler degradiert zu werden. Er wurde so sehr herabgewürdigt, bis es nichts an ihm gab, was man weiter hätte erniedrigen können …
Um eine Entschädigungssumme von über achtundachtzig Millionen achthundertachtzigtausend Karmapunkten aufzutreiben, bleibt dem einstigen Kronprinzen des Reiches Xianle und in besseren Tagen gekröntem Kriegsgott, der nun auf Erden wie im Himmel nur noch als Witzfigur verspottet wird, nichts anderes übrig, als in irdische Gefilde herabzusteigen, um sich im Kampf gegen allerlei Unheil verdient zu machen.
Aber wer ist nur der ganz in Rot gekleidete geheimnisumwitterte junge Mann, der am Yujun-Berg Xie Lian in seiner Brautsänfte entführt, einen Schirm über Xie Lian aufspannt, um ihn vor Blutregen zu beschirmen, und für ihn eine magische Schutzbarriere durchbricht? Xie Lian glaubt, er sei dem jungen Mann noch nie zuvor begegnet. Doch es handelt sich um ein schicksalhaftes Wiedersehen nach einer Trennung von über 800 Jahren …

STARember’s art hardback in English 🥰🥰🥰. TGCF is not even my favorite danmei yet somehow I have the 1) Paperbacks 2) Special Editions hardbacks 3) CN manhua 4) Donghua comic boxset and now 5) English manhua. Definitely feeling guilty about overconsumption 😔

EL ARTEEEE ES ABSOLUTAMENTE PRECIOSO
October 20, 2025
I received an ARC of this book for free from the publisher for promotional purposes.
This was a great start to the series!
Going into this, I knew nothing about the comic or the danmei novel it was based on. I went into it blind.
First off, the art is absolutely stunning! Since I had an ARC, the majority of the book was in black and white. However, there were some pages in the beginning that were in full color. All I can say is: wow! The artwork looked like watercolor paintings and it gave the story an ethereal feel. The style matched the vibe of the story perfectly.
The story was slightly confusing at times. Part of that was due to the fact that the ARC was in black and white which made it hard to see exactly what was going on. Due to the nature of the art style, it needs to be in color to fully enjoy. The story is also a slow burn so not much is revealed (especially in regard to the lead character).
The book also included a cast list and pronunciation guide which I found so helpful.
Overall, I am very intrigued with where this story will go. If you’re looking to read a graphic novel with gorgeous artwork, consider this one!

fabulous news I FOUND THE MANHUA ON GOODREADS thank the heavens
poked around a bit and this was chapter 1-17 which is good to know. but wooOOO boy the art style of this is truly so beautiful it made me feel like I was coming untethered from the earth I quite truthfully have screenshot like 30+ panels on my ipad while reading bc it's just....so insanely beautiful
looking at it soothes me and it's been like a year or two since I read the first few vols so it was a fabulous refresher

"May heavenly officials give their blessings. No paths are bound."
I knew the art was beautiful before I bought this, but seeing it in print completely floored me. Every single page turn felt special. I had experienced the story through reading the novel and watching the donghua, so I thought I knew what to expect. I didn’t. Holding it in my hands felt like walking through a gallery of paintings. The colors feel deeper. The details feel more intentional. I caught myself just staring at certain panels because they were that stunning. At one point I realized I was already halfway through the book and felt a little sad about it. I was reading so fast because I was so absorbed. I also noticed there were scenes I remembered that didn’t show up here. I’m not sure if they were never part of STARember’s version or if they were removed for publication, but the missing pieces made the pacing feel faster than I expected, which feels pretty common with manhua adaptations.
What really stayed with me though was Xie Lian. He’s the kind of character that quietly gets under your skin. He’s been humiliated, demoted, laughed at, and still he moves through the world with kindness. Watching him carry himself with dignity even when he’s broke, mocked, and literally shackled did something to me. His compassion doesn’t feel forced. It feels earned. The world around him is layered with heavenly bureaucracy, merit debts, ghost classifications, and old tragedies, but none of it felt overwhelming. It all flows naturally, mixed with humor, eerie moments, and emotional punches that sneak up on you. I loved how the tone can shift from light and awkward to genuinely unsettling within a few pages.
My only real complaint is the title choice. Calling it “Heaven Official’s Blessing (the comic)” felt awkward to me. It’s a manhua. I get why they probably did it. It makes it easier for English readers to separate it from the novel and it probably helps with marketing, especially for people new to danmei. Still, it sounded clunky. That small issue aside, this volume is beautiful and immersive. It reminded me why I fell in love with this story in the first place.

I picked this up for the gorgeous artwork, and it did not disappoint. What a stunning adaptation! This collection takes the reader through the end of the Ghost Groom arc and leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger. I’m not familiar with the underlying novel but was able to follow the storyline just fine.
I checked this book out from my public library.
32 MILLION
adults—14% of the population—cannot read.
21%
of adults read below a 5th-grade level.
19%
of high school graduates lack basic literacy skills. AND THINGS ARE NOT IMPROVING...BUT THERE'S HOPE. Low literacy isn’t just a personal challenge—it’s a national crisis affecting jobs, health, and opportunity. But there is a solution: libraries and library professionals are leading the charge to close literacy gaps and ensure free, equitable access to knowledge through early and adult literacy programs, digital and media literacy training, family literacy initiatives that empower parents as their child’s first teacher, and more. Support your local library 📚!

El arte de STARember deja sin aliento. Es un 5 estrellas, sin dudar.
En cuanto a la historia, siento que si no hubiese visto la adaptación audiovisual hasta donde termina este tomo me hubiese perdido un poco, pero pude disfrutarla en su totalidad.
Me resultó ligera y con personajes mega simpáticos. Puedo entender que no sea una introducción super enganchante para todos, pero promete.
Supongo que ya en el segundo empezaré a chillar... xd ojalá jajajaja

This book was so beautiful the art was absolutely gorgeous. I finally saw how all the characters should look aswell cause ive been picturing them the way I saw them in the donghua however I really should have been picturing them the way they're drawn in the comic. This was a very shortened version of volume 1 it was missing alot of context scenes but i got to see Hua Cheng and Xie Lians first(not really first but still first) meeting at Mount Yujin and it was honestly breathtaking. Just seeing this scene in all its glory is just amazing *happy sigh

4.5 ⭐️ FINALLY the English version is here!! Such stunning art, a small art book in itself. Low on text but high on gorgeous visuals. Might be difficult to understand for new readers who haven’t read the novel, as a lot of information is left out due to the medium (a manhua/comic adaptation), so I’d recommend picking up the original first. Nonetheless, I can’t get enough of this beautiful story and its incredible characters ❤️

En primer lugar, quiero destacar la gran edición que se ha marcado Planeta con este manhua. Tiene sus defectillos, como todo, pero a mí, me parece muy bien cuidada, en general.
'La bendición del Oficial del Cielo' era una historia que estaba deseando leer ya fuera en formato novela o en manhua, pero finalmente me decanté por el manhua por la simple razón de que vi mucho descontento acerca de la edición de las novelas de la editorial Norma. Como casi siempre, ya me había visto la animación (la primera temporada) antes de pasar al manhua, pero la verdad es que no tiene importancia porque ambos formatos están muy bien, y aunque ya sepa parte de la historia, gracias al manhua puedo ver otro estilo diferente de dibujo, detalles que me perdí en la serie, etc.
Recuerdo que lo que abarca en este primer tomo no me convenció en el anime porque no me acabó de enganchar y estaba bastante perdida con la historia, pero ahora que lo he leído siento que he comprendido mucho mejor ésta y me ha gustado mucho. No le pongo más puntuación porque, en mi opinión, la historia mejora mucho más desde que aparece Hua Cheng y nos empiezan a dar más detalles sobre Xie Lian y él.
Asimismo, el arte del manhua me parece precioso y muy trabajado. Tiene muchísimos detalles y es un arte que me parece muy especial porque se distingue del resto, aunque en mi cabeza creía que el arte sería, de alguna forma, diferente al que me he encontrado (yo me entiendo), pero no me disgusta, al contrario. Y la ilustración de la escena donde está Xie Lian con las mariposas plateadas... simplemente cine, uf. Me encanta como dibuja STARember, es una fantasía.
En definitiva, me ha encantado reencontrarme con esta historia, aunque me cuesta muchísimo diferenciar a los personajes (los que no son los principales) por sus nombres, pero eso es problema mío. Estoy deseando seguir leyendo el resto de tomos.

STARember my beloved SUCH GORGEOUS ART AAAHHHHH!!!! Love this so much, such beautiful rendition of one of my favourite stories 🥰 Don't recommend of you haven't read the novel or seen the animated series since you miss out on quite a lot of story, but nonetheless a very fun adaptation ♡ However if you don't mind flying over many plot elements, you can give it a try and enjoy the gorgeous visuals hehe~

La nota es básicamente por el dibujo porque el contenido es decepcionante. No tiene sentido darle 5 estrellas solo porque el dibujo sea bonito.
Si esto lo lee alguien que no sabe nada de las novelas, se va a quedar más perdido que un pulpo en un garaje. Todo es muy superficial, no se profundiza en nada. No creo que puedan entender algunas cosas. Me parece que está bastante desconectado de la novela. Lo veo simplemente como algo para hacer dinero basándose en la fama de las novelas.
En mi opinión, HOB no es una obra "suitable" para ser un manga.
La artista dibuja muy bien, pero ¿es eso suficiente para seguir leyéndome el resto de manhuas? ¿Es esto lo que sienten los lectores de manga cuando ven un anime mal adaptado🤣?

This is my first purchase for physical manhua. I was amazed by the art of starember, really majestic. The story in this book stopped at the end of Ghost Bride arc.
Every adaptation has their own, and i think this manhua skipped some from the novel/donghua. We can't see the young Pei Ming, and Xie Lian ascending was told slightly.
Still this book has its own temptation, i can't stop to turn the pages because THE ARTSTYLE OMG. Hope they announce the 2nd manhua soon.

"Se transformó en una nube de mariposas plateadas y desaparecio"
Que bonito es leer en todas las versiones el manhua de TGCF en español.
La traducción de planeta es buena y aunque si tiene uno que otro error de dedo y confusión con algunos personajes, creo que ha quedado bastante bien.

El arte es increíble. Una barbaridad. Pero si solo te has leído el manhua, como es mi caso, no te enteras de nada. Ni siquiera de quién es quién.

The illustrations were gorgeous but the story just didn't hook me like I hoped it would.

I’ve just now begun exploring manhua which is the Chinese equivalent of Japanese manga. I’ve noticed manhua appearing on bookstore shelves for a while now but have just now decided to see what it’s about.
One thing that surprised me is how small the selection of translated manhua still seems to be here in the West. Compared to the vast selection of Japanese manga, Chinese comics feel like they’re only beginning to find an international audience. I’m not sure if publishers are testing the waters or just starting with a handful of proven titles or what…
Even more surprising was discovering that the majority of the manhua currently available in English belongs to a genre called danmei. Like the Japanese “boy love” genre, danmei focuses on male-male romantic relationships. I hadn’t realized such stories were published in China at all, let alone that they had become one of its biggest comic exports.
The title I decided to start with (which I think is the most popular one) is Heaven Official’s Blessing.
My first mistake was buying the Kindle edition without realizing it isn’t compatible with Kindle e-readers and must be read through the Kindle app on a tablet, phone, or computer. In hindsight though, this turned out to be a blessing. The artwork is STUNNING. I think this may be the most beautiful comic I’ve ever read. The colour work is so gorgeous that it deserves a proper tablet screen or one of the really nice looking hardcover editions.
But artwork aside… how’s the story?
Excellent!
The setting draws heavily on Chinese mythology which I’m very much into. Heavenly officials, ghosts, demons, and the interplay between the Heavenly Court, the mortal world, and the underworld. Right up my alley. The story follows a heavenly immortal who descends to the mortal realm and quickly becomes entangled in mysteries and supernatural threats far beyond what he expected. In terms of romance, it hasn’t gotten to that yet.
Heaven Official’s Blessing began as a web novel before becoming an eight-volume novel series (also available in English) and, later, a manhua adaptation. I think it might even have an animated series as well, but I’m not sure that’s available here.
Unfortunately, the comic’s future appears uncertain. The Chinese release seems to have stalled after six volumes, reportedly covering only part of the original story, and the artist may have moved on to other projects.
The good news is that the novels are complete, so readers can still experience the full story. The English version of the manhua translation only has two volumes currently available, with volume three scheduled for November and volume four expected in January 2027.
Regardless of whether the comic is ever completed, the first volume left a tremendous impression on me.
Five stars!
★★★★★ (5/5)
