I found this slightly-battered softcover at the Used Book Superstore. I've read several of the mangaka's other works (the"Godchild" series among them), and wanted to give this one a try.
Later: Well, the artwork's very pretty, and some of the ideas are interesting - an angel looking for his lost love who's been reincarnated and now lives in the body of a teenage boy, who is not keen on being stalked by a short-tempered angelic being. There's a lot of mood whiplash here, with moments of comedy bumping up against maimings and mind-control and general angst, and I can't say I got caught up in the story - much as I wanted to; there's some beautiful artwork that's worth the price of the book!
[The TV Tropes page has some entertaining info on the series.]

I'm putting this book into AKSarah's graphic novel/manga bookbox, which will be on its way to BCer quietorchid in Minnesota soon. Hope someone enjoys the book!
This book enjoyed a brief stop in San Jose, California before continuing its travels in AKSarah's Graphic Novel/Manga bookbox!
My Graphic Novel/Manga bookbox arrived back home many months ago and I forgot to journal the contents. This book was in it.
