Synopsis
I see dead people...
Hatsuse Nanao has been “gifted” with the ability to see ghostly apparitions. Into her problematic (not to mention, crowded) life comes Yatou and Akajita, vowing to protect her. But is a love triangle possible in the midst of ectoplasm?
Nanao (and Yatou's) backstory is better explicated here.
According to scanlators Aerandria & Enchantment Scans, this volume contains chapters:
Kotodama - Tsukai
Fuguruma Youji
Mirror of Hari
Hashi-Hime
Nik babble, STARTO!: So this is Fujita Maki-sensei's fourth shoujo series to be distributed in Indonesia, after the Elex-released Platinum Garden and The World is Yours (Sekai wo Ageyou), and m&c!'s (ongoing) Song of Love (Eden no Trill) manga. As I noted in the main m&c! post, Another Kingdom is shaping up to be a different organism from the equally paranormal Platinum Garden (which features resurrections) and the No restless spirits here, unless they're the figurative kind! Song of Love.
While Baka-Updates Manga slots Another Kingdom alongside Death Note in its You might also like... recommendation, I personally think this supernatural shoujo series—that m&c! bills a semi-horror fantasy
—is gonna give Shiomi Chika's Rasetsu's Flower and/or Kawaguchi Madoka's From the Other World healthy competition. In whichever case—Death Note, Rasetsu no Hana, or Shi to Kanojo to Boku—it's a GET!
m&c! volume 1 street date: 5 May 2010
